The final choice of cross-country skis is determined mainly by your level of skiing, your chosen technique, your height and weight. Generally speaking, longer skis have better sliding characteristics, but are also harder to control. Your weight is one of the most important parameters when choosing the right skis. Therefore, the recommended lengths are only indicative.
