Moosecamp Sports Ski Sizing Guide

WHEN IN DOUBT GO SHORT… Aggressiveness first, weight second, height third.

Type I--Someone who has never skied before or who has only skied a few times.

Type one skiers are not overly concerned about their technical skill level and ski for enjoyment and exercise. They tend to ski conservatively and prefer slower speeds on easy to moderate slopes. They favor lower than average release/retention settings which corresponds to increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased releasability in a fall.

Type II--Someone who is comfortable skiing all green and blue runs.

Type two skiers are generally looking for improvement of their level of technical proficiency. They have made a commitment to the sport and want to ski faster with good control. These skiers are searching for challenging terrain and wish to ski well in all conditions.

Type III--Someone who can ski anywhere on the mountain in any conditions.

Type three skiers are more serious about the sport, they have mastered most of the technique and want to improve personal performance. They want to have fun and will expose themselves to extreme situations and conditions (weather and terrain) for an adrenaline rush. A primary concern is the performance attributes of the product. Type three skiers tend to ski aggressively and at higher than average speeds on steep or challenging terrain. They tend to prefer higher than average release/retention settings on their bindings which decreases releasability in a fall in order to gain a decreased risk of inadvertent binding release.

NOTE: This is a guide only for suggested ski lengths and may vary by individual.
