Sizing/Flex Chart & How to Choose the right Flex and Length
- STEP 1: Use the table below and find the skier's Body Weight
- STEP 2: If there's more than one Ski Length that fits the skier's Body Weight, use the skier's Body Height to choose the best ski length. Choose a longer ski for a more advanced skier.
Since cross-country sizing takes significant interpretation to get right, we recommend getting in touch with us at info@skiwax.ca with the following info:
- The ski model
- The skier's height
- The skier's weight
- The skier's ability (beginner, experienced, racer, etc...)
- The snow type you'd like the skis to work best in
- If you'd like bindings, poles, or boots as part of a package deal
With this information, we will perform a variety of tests on our specialized ski gauge to choose a pair of skis that will be a perfect fit! Click here to email us: info@skiwax.ca

Features:
- • WET TRACK FLEX PROFILE: Stiffer than the UNIVERSAL profile. Short pressure zones and a long camber give your skis fantastic suction-friction resistance in very wet snow. These skis can also be picked with a smoother pressure profile for very cold snow.
- • Comes with NOMEX Honeycomb Core construction. The lightest and strongest core material available in the Nordic Ski industry
- • Built-in NIS 1.0 plate compatible with NIS bindings
- • XXT ExtraLight CARBON Tip and Tail: Carbon fiber plates are constructed into the tip and tail of the skis to provide several race-caliber benefits: Snappy, high-feedback tips feel energized and give back some of your input forces. XXT carbon fiber wedges provide higher torsional rigidity, especially on technical downhills. And the additional carbon fiber is less prone to aging: Increasing the longevity of the skis` flex profile.
- • FLUOR-FREE Nano High-Speed WET base material (NHSW): Previous to 2020, all NHS ski bases contained very, very large amounts of fluoro additives baked in the base material. Starting in 2021, all Peltonen skis are 100% fluoro-free made without any fluoro additives in the base material: certified for fluoro-free racing rules! The factory stone-grind is ideal for average snow temperatures. These bases are red-coloured and made of a harder compound than the black-coloured bases.
- • Industry-leading laminate sublayer: Peltonen bases are exceptionally flat out of the factory and stay flat after hotboxing & applying wax with high-temperature irons thanks to the reinforcing laminate sublayer sandwiched between the core material and the base material. The reinforcing laminate sublayer keeps the ski bases flat for many seasons reducing the need for stone-grinding as a means to re-flatten the bases. Flat bases are much easier to wax and they distribute pressure evenly on the snow during the glide phase of skate-kick or when in a tuck position.
