J6 & J7 Ski Sizing Information
40-50lbs 110cm
50-60lbs 120cm
60-70lbs 130cm (please discuss with coach)
In general, it is uncommon for a J7/J6 racer to ski on
a length of 130cm. The intent is that these
guidelines would give an athlete a ski that would
stand next to him between his nose and his eyebrows.
He would use 1 pair of skis for both Slalom and Giant
Slalom. If you have any questions, send an email to
