SKI SELECTION AND SPECS
WHAT WIDTH SKI SHOULD I BUY?
When considering width, think about the terrain you realistically ski the most. Narrower skis are going to be better for firmer snow whereas wider skis are going to be better for softer snow and powder.
Remember, personal preference is always a factor here! If you are having trouble choosing the right ski be sure to shoot us a Live Chat, email to info@jskis.com or give us a call at (802) 585-1098!
WHAT LENGTH SKI SHOULD I BUY?
Our general rule of thumb is that if you like the size of your current skis you will probably want to order a similar J skis size. Remember, when you're buying skis, 2-3 cm longer or shorter is not going to make a huge difference so you should just go with the closest option..
Size is ultimately personal preference, however generally new skiers use shorter sizes as they are easier to control and require less work to turn. More advanced skiers often use longer skis, even taller than the skiers actual height.
A longer ski will be faster, and offer more float in powder. Shorter skis are easier to turn, especially in tight spaces like trees and moguls.That being said you may end up wanting to go longer or shorter based on your previous experience.
You should use our Ski Size Calculator to dial in the correct ski size for your height, weight, and ski ability level. If you're still not sure what the right size is please don't hesitate to send us a Live Chat, email to info@jskis.com or give us a call at (802) 585-1098!
BINDINGS AND MOUNTING
WHICH BINDING IS RIGHT FOR ME?
When buying bindings, there are two main things to consider: the DIN range and the brake width. Use our Compare Bindings page to see what the best pair is for you!
WHERE SHOULD I MOUNT MY BINDINGS?
For the best all mountain performance mount your skis at the factory recommended mounting point. The recommended mounting point for every pair of J skis is marked by a dimple in the topsheet and a sticker labeled as "Boot Center".
Always be sure to use a 3.5 x 9.5 bit when mounting your bindings!
