Kick and glide your way into the quiet, snowy aspen grove while you stay stable and under control on the Alpina Control LW Cross Country Touring Ski. Designed for women out of reusable and renewable resources, this Nordic touring ski’s soft flex and large kick zone helps you easily get into rhythmic strides. The Control LW glides over the trail thanks to the Posi-grip base, which doesn’t need wax and grabs the snow so you can keep up your blissful pace. A wood core and Scuff Tuff top deck add durability and a little confidence when you dare to wonder off the trail and over gentle snow-covered hills.

Bottom Line: Explore the snowy woods on your own terms with the Control LW.

Bindings are sold separately, but either the NNN double-rail binding or the SNS Pilot/Profil systems will work.

Eli's answer is great...for downhill skis, but doesn't apply here. As these are XC touring skis, the overriding factor is weight. The weight chart on this page doesn't specifically list this model, but the Vantage and Tracker models use the same recommendations. Hope this helps!

One way to determine ski length, by 4 factors:

1. Your weight
Pounds: ------- 90-100 / 101-115 / 116-130 / 131-150 / 151-175 / 176-200 / 201+
Start ski size: 140cm.. / 145cm.. / 150cm.. / 155cm.. / 160cm.. / 165cm.. / 170cm

2. Your Ability:
New to skiing, beginner, ski greens/blues: -5cm
or Average ability, ski most runs, moderate speed: +0cm
or Average ability, prefer variety of speeds: +5cm
or Able to ski all runs, prefer high speeds: +10cm

3. The terrain you plan on skiing most:
Groomed hard snow: +0cm
or Off trail, soft now, powder: +5cm

4. Type of ski:

Simply add your 4 results and you will have a good idea on your size.
