evo Size and Buying Guides - We have one of the largest selections of kids' skis on the web, a super knowledgeable staff and expert guides to help you make an informed decision.
Height and weight are both important determinants in selecting the correct size skis for kids. A good rule of thumb is that youth skis should come up somewhere between the child's chest and nose. Need a starting point? Use the Kids' Ski Size Chart below.
To find the correct size skis:
- Measure your child's height and weight.
- Locate that height on the chart below.
- Your child might be between two of the heights listed; in that case find their weight on the chart. If they are light for their height, you're going to size a ski to the shorter height, and therefore will end up with shorter skis. If they are heavy for their height, you'll go off the taller height and end up with longer skis.
- Line up this final height with the corresponding ski length in the right column to get the correct ski size range. Below the chart we have put together reasons to size up or down within this range.

| 11 | 57 | 145 | 79 | 36 | 130-140 | |
| 12 | 59 | 149 | 89 | 41 | 135-145 | |

| 14 | 65 | 164 | 112 | 51 | 150-160 |
Reasons to size kids' skis shorter, closer to the chest:
- They are a beginner or cautious skier.
- Their weight is lighter than average for their height.
- They like to make short, quick turns and seldom ski fast.
- They are skiing fast and aggressively.
- They weigh more than average for their height.
- You want to purchase a ski with room to grow. Children grow fast and there are boots and outerwear designed to accomodate this, however, we do not recommend sizing their skis much bigger than the recommended range.
