RACE PLACE has been authorized to offer special RACER PRICING on current season RACE SKIS, BOOTS and BINDINGS to all ski racers actively participating in USSA, FIS, College, High School, Nastar or Club Events.

**Discounted pricing is restricted to skis, boot and bindings.**

Choosing the correct race ski length is one of the most important equipment decisions for any alpine racer. Ski length affects stability, turn initiation, edge grip, and overall confidence on the course. While FIS regulations establish minimum lengths for many competitive athletes, younger and non-FIS racers should select ski length based primarily on weight, ability, and coach recommendations.

FIS Race Ski Regulations

FIS equipment regulations are updated regularly and may vary by age class, gender, and competition level. Before purchasing race skis, always verify the current equipment rules for your league or governing body.

Race Place Tip: FIS regulations establish minimum equipment standards, but your coach should always be your primary resource when selecting race skis.

Non-FIS Race Ski Size Guide

For junior racers and non-FIS competition, ski length is best determined by athlete weight rather than height alone. The recommendations below provide starting points for athletes using one multi-event ski or separate Slalom (SL) and Giant Slalom (GS) skis.

Racer Weight (lb)	Weight (kg)	Multi-Event (cm)	Slalom (SL)	Giant Slalom (GS)
40–50	18–23	100–110	—	—
50–60	23–27	110–120	—	—
60–70	27–32	120–130	120–130	130–140
70–80	32–36	130–140	125–130	135–145
80–90	36–41	—	130–140	140–150
90–100	41–45	—	135–145	145–155
100–110	45–50	—	140–150	150–165
110–120	50–54	—	145–155	160–175
120–130	54–59	—	150–160	170–180
130–140	59–63	—	150–160	175–185
140–150	63–68	—	155–165	180+
150+	68+	—	155–165	180+

Race Ski Sizing Considerations

The size chart above provides a solid starting point, but several additional factors should influence your final ski selection.

Verify current FIS, U.S. Ski & Snowboard, or league-specific equipment regulations before purchasing.
Advanced racers often benefit from longer skis because they provide greater stability and edge grip at higher speeds.
Beginning and developing racers generally progress faster on skis that are easier to control rather than oversized.
If you hope to get two seasons out of a pair of skis, avoid sizing up too much. Most coaches agree that a ski that fits properly today and becomes slightly short as the athlete grows will promote better skill development than one that is oversized from the beginning.
Consult your coach when selecting race skis, as they can recommend the most appropriate length based on the athlete’s ability, technique, and racing objectives.

Choosing Between Multi-Event and Event-Specific Skis

Multi-Event (MTE) skis are ideal for younger racers using one pair for both Slalom and Giant Slalom.
As athletes progress, separate SL and GS skis provide better performance for each discipline.
If an older athlete uses one pair for both events, selecting an SL ski one size longer than the ideal SL length generally offers the best balance between events.

Race Place Fit Notes

Weight is generally a better sizing indicator than height for junior race skis.
Race ski sizing recommendations vary by manufacturer, ski construction, and athlete ability.
FIS regulations change periodically, so always verify current rules before purchasing.
When in doubt, consult your coach or contact the Race Place team for personalized sizing recommendations.

Description & Features

The Nordica Dobermann GSJ ski is a junior giant slalom race ski built to help developing athletes find a clean, consistent line from start to finish. It delivers smooth turn entry and reliable edge hold, making it easier to build confidence on course.

An Energy 2 Ti construction blends a wood core with metal reinforcement for a stable, responsive feel. The softer flex is tuned for lighter racers, helping them stay balanced while maintaining strong ski-snow contact through longer GS turns.

The updated Marker Junior Race Plate improves power transfer and keeps the ski working efficiently underfoot. Smaller sizes use a two-piece plate design to maintain natural flex, giving young racers a more predictable and forgiving ride as they progress.
