Buying used skis is an excellent solution for all newbies who have just started to approach this sport, and who are not yet sure they want to practice it regularly.

Before moving towards the purchase of a pair of used skis , it is necessary to make some important considerations, and not to rush towards what seems to us a great offer, but which could turn out to be a mistake.

How and why to choose a pair of used skis

The first consideration to make before moving towards the choice of that pair of skis used rather than others, is to evaluate the actual skiing skills that one possesses. The second evaluation concerns skiing preferences and the type of track: on or off the track, wide or narrow curves, more speed or slowness ...
Another important consideration is related to the length of the skis: it is not an exact science, and a lot depends on the style of the skier and the level of ability, but basically the choice of a pair of used skis is based on gender, height and on the weight of the skier.

The general rule is that the length of the ski is between the chin and a few centimeters above the head. For lovers of giant slalom and speed courses but maintaining stability, taking the skier's experience for granted, then you can also buy used skis longer than your height.
