- Enter your weight (in kg, e.g., 70) in the "Weight" field.
- Select your skiing style from the dropdown: All-Mountain, Carving, Powder, or Freestyle.
- Select your ability level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Expert.
- Click "Calculate Ski Length" to see the recommended length in centimeters.
The result shows the suggested ski length and a breakdown of how it was calculated, including adjustments for weight, style, and ability.
