I'm selling some older skis and I need help finding the dimensions...
I apologize in advance if this question is ridiculously stupid but I NEED HELP!


I've looked all over the ski and can't find anything, I've looked online too.
I need the tip/waist/tail dimensions. The length is 160... World Cup Rossi 9x, not sure what year.

Any suggestions on how to find these dimensions? Or should I just measure.. ?

just get a tape with millimeters or some digital calipers and measure out. i'm guessing they're SL race skis?

they're junior GS skis?

yes they are jr GS/super G skis.


except they look just like that but SLIGHTLY different... the buyer needs the dimensions. I'm sure those are probably right but I will check with what you said before.

i thought the measurements were done in centimeters?

actually gator is right, its mm for widths because my current skis are 116-81-106 mm i BELIEVE.


and they're fatter than those racing skis so those measurements sound about right, i just need to double check.

thank you for the help!
