Ski Sizing:

We sell all sizes of skis that are typically available, from 80cm to 200cm.  You can use the chart below to help roughly determine what size ski would work best for you.  Come on in to our shop and we will be glad to assist you with sizing.

Ski Boot Sizing:

We sell a wide variety of boots in all typically available sizes.  You can use the chart below to help determine what size boot would work best for you.  It is a good idea to have a boot that fits well as it will help to prevent injury and allow for a more comfortable day on the slopes.  Usually boots fit with their corresponding shoe sizes.  Boots cannot be made bigger, but they can be tightened, so ordering a half  or whole size bigger than you typically wear may be a good idea if you have had sizing issues with ski boots in the past.  Come on in to our shop and we will be glad to assist you with boot fitting.  For Women who would like to convert their size to Men's, click here.

*The Mondo Size above and the conversion to Men's/Women's sizing may not correspond to the Mondo Size and Men's/Women's Size listed on the boot.  Our standard is to convert the Mondo size we find on the boot into Men's sizing using this chart.

Women's shoes are narrower than men's.  Also, the heel on a woman's shoe is narrower than the forefoot width. Men's shoes have the same width at the forefoot and heel. Women can wear men's shoes by converting their size to men's by subtracting 1.5 from their numeric size.  This is a loose conversion and doesn't change the difference in width and forefoot-to-heel ratios.  Boots listed for auction are described as Men's or Women's (and the size listed) based on what the boot is labeled as.

Ski Pole Sizing:

You can size yourself for ski poles by using the below chart.  If you come to our shop, you can pick the pole that matches on the chart and then hold the ski pole upside down and find the size that allows your elbow to be at a 90 degree angle with your hand underneath the basket (since that will be in the snow).
