Sizing Chart

It’s important to choose the correct size equipment to avoid blisters and difficulty on the slopes. Use the guide below to find the correct fit. You can also work with us in person when you come to our shop near Echigo-Yuzawa Station to get the right gear.

Adult Male: 160-170 cm

Adult Female: 140-150 cm

Junior: Approximately height minus 10 cm

Kids: For a first-timer, preferably short skis

People taller than 175 cm: Height minus about 20 cm
(e.g. if you are 180 cm tall, use a board about 160 cm long)

People 160-174 cm tall: Height minus about 15 cm
(e.g. if you are 165 cm tall, use a board about 150 cm long)

People below 160 cm tall: Height minus about 10 cm
(e.g. if you are 150 cm tall, use a board about 140 cm long)

*Please note that the above sizes are only guides. A choice of ±5 cm based on weight and ability could be considered as well. Ask us and we’ll help you pick the right size.

When a board is placed standing next to you, we can get a correct board measurement for a beginner by matching the board’s length to the distance between your feet and your mouth.

NEED PICTURE

Regardless of your skill level, your boots should be 1 cm longer than your foot’s measurement.

If they are too small you will not only be uncomfortable, but your toenails may break when you bend backward and your bent toes may reduce your maneuverability.

If they are too big, the movement of your feet inside the boots will make maneuvering much more difficult when skiing or snowboarding, and may cause blistering.
