Difference between short and long skis

Every length has its advantages and disadvantages. Discover the key differences between short and long skis and how ski length impacts your style and performance on the slopes.

01

Maneuverability

Short skis are easier to turn due to their shorter length, offering greater agility and responsiveness, especially on narrow or twisty slopes. Long skis are less nimble compared to short skis, requiring more effort to turn in tight spaces but providing better stability at high speeds.

02

Speed and Stability

Short skis offer good stability for beginners and slower-paced skiing but may feel less stable at high speeds or in rough conditions. Long skis provide better stability, particularly at high speeds and on challenging terrain, thanks to their greater length and surface area, reducing vibrations and enhancing control.

03

Playfulness

Short skis tend to feel more playful and lively, allowing for quick turns, jumps, and tricks, enhancing the overall fun factor, particularly in terrain parks or moguls. Long skis Offer a more stable and grounded feel, which may feel less playful for some skiers but can still be playful in their ability to carve wide turns.

04

Floatation

Short skis are less effective in deep snow or powder due to their smaller surface area, resulting in increased sinking. Long skis provide better floatation in deep snow, thanks to their larger surface area, allowing skiers to stay on top of the snow and enjoy smoother rides.

05

Skill level

Short skis are ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers due to their ease of maneuverability and forgiving nature. Long skis are suited for advanced and expert skiers who have developed the necessary skills to handle their increased length and stability at higher speeds and in varied terrain.

In the south of the world with Snowfeet*!

I had a very pleasant experience with my new Snowfeet* Skiblades 65cm. First time using them, but I've been wanting to buy them for a long time. It all started with their arrival, with a kind gesture on the card, as well as a gift. I went with my family to the "Las Araucarias" Ski center near where we live (Temuco, Chile). In a couple of descents I had them mastered and their short length helped me better control my daughters who were learning to ski. It was an excellent experience, I recommend it!

I found my unicorn!

As a lifetime skier I have always loved the sport but STRUGGLED with the boots! I have giant calves and despite ordering custom boots I still struggled to be comfortable enough to want to continue the sport. I always joked that if I could just do snowboard boots with skis I’d be set. Then I found SnowFeet!!! I have done more skiing this year than any other year in my adult life! Including some time in Utah. What a life changer for me.

I love my snowfeet skiboards!

Got ACL injury two yeas ago using skis and i thought that’s it for me. Took my chances buying the snowfeet skiboards and i love it! I love rollerblading when i was younger and it felt like the same thing in snow when i got to try these! Now i am excited to visit snow resorts again here in california!
