Short skis and Shorties skis - suitable models in the ski store

Short skis and Shorties skis are models that are shorter than your own body length. They are particularly suitable for jumps.

High fun factor with short skis and Shorties skis

Many winter sports enthusiasts not only want to ski down the slopes at a leisurely pace, but also try out jumps and tight turns. Short skis and Shorties skis are ideal for this. Short skis are often also called fun carvers: They are around 100 to 150 cm long and therefore shorter than the athlete's body length. When choosing a suitable model, it makes sense to choose skis that are up to 25 cm shorter than your own height. They weigh less than conventional skis and often have higher binding plates. In addition, they usually have a short radius so that athletes can achieve an inclined position during turns. Shorties are usually even shorter and wider short skis - they usually range up to a length of 100 cm; in some cases, they are available up to a length of 140 cm. They also impress with their pronounced turning ability, which increases the fun on the slopes.

As a rule, course skis and Shorties skis are recommended for advanced and professional skiers, as they have sufficient reaction speed and can control the ski. However, these skis are also often used for beginners if they have a strong waist: Beginners thus learn carving and increased responsiveness right from the start. However, it is important that beginners always feel comfortable when they make their first runs on the slopes.
