Buying guides
Working out what to buy
The reasoning behind the SlopeFit quiz, written out in plain English. Same numbers, no arithmetic required — and no lists of links pretending to be advice.
What length snowboard do I actually need?
Your weight decides it, not your height. The chart, the adjustments for park and powder, and what the chin test gets wrong.
What length skis do I actually need?
Chin as a beginner, top of your head as an expert. Why skis size off height when boards size off weight, and where your build comes back in.
Rather just be told?
Answer seven questions and get a full setup — board or skis, jacket, pants, goggles, helmet and gloves — sized to you, matched to your colours, inside your budget.
