Atomic Soft Flex Kids' Downhill Skiing

What type of terrain will you ski most?
Match your skis to the conditions and areas on the mountain you like to ski. Choices include all-mountain, powder, freestyle and backcountry skis.

Find your preferred ski length
Factor in your height and skiing ability. In general, the ski should reach between your chin and the top of your head.

Consider a ski's dimensions
A ski's dimensions are measured in width at 3 places: the tip, waist and tail. The waist (middle) is key; a narrow waist gets on edge quicker; a wider one floats better on powder.
