Intermediate: Congratulations! You’ve made it to the next level in skiing. Turns will be slow and steady, and at the end of your time as a beginner, you’ll be starting to tip your skis to turn rather than pushing yourself to turn with your heels. Skill wise, you’ll be able to control your speed with snowplowing, wedging, or forming a “pizza”. Chances are if you’re the type of skier who typically skis with a “ski-mentor” or a friend who’s job it is to get you down the mountain. Beginner skiers are classified as people who have never ever skied, right up to those just starting to dabble in Intermediate trails. Rules of Thumb: Adults: Between Chin and Eyebrows Kids: Between Chest and Chin Heightīeginner: Chances are you’ll know if this is you. Sometimes you just need to speak to a expert, so if you're still having trouble picking a size, please give us a call at (877) 812-6710.
Take a look at the chart below, and if you have any trouble figuring out your size range, scroll past the cart to where we provide more information regarding these categories. The bad news, is that it can be a bit more difficult to do- but that’s why we’re here. The good news is that the all around quality of skis is increasing, making it more possible than ever to find a ski that fits your specific style and preferences. Then rocker technology came along, and, long story short, there’s way more room for preference and interpretation than ever before. It used to be that if you extended your arm upwards, you should be able to reach the tips of your skis. Ski Sizing can be tricky, thanks to a combination of the ever changing ski technology. For help with Nordic Ski sizing, please call us at: (877) 812-6710. More on that later.This guide is for Alpine Skis. The bars showed up pre-cut to 760mm width and the stem was 50mm long. Pivot supplies their house carbon bar and alloy stem. The cranks are Race Face AEffect R, budget-minded but they get the job done. The drivetrain on our bike features a Shimano XT 12-speed cassette and shifter with an XTR derailleur. Cheers to Pivot for putting a long dropper on a medium. With plenty of post-insertion, we were big fans of this post's performance and fit. Our test bike had a 175mm FOX Factory Transfer dropper post. 4-piston Shimano XT brakes with 203mm rotors indicate this bike is built for speed. Overall, the build kit is ready for action.
With 165mm of coil-sprung rear travel and both ends of the bike adorned by FOX Factory suspension, the Firebird is properly equipped for serious hits. Riders will want to check the geometry chart below, in the original release, to see what these numbers look like in different sizes as Pivot is doing size-specific chainstay lengths with the Firebird. To keep the overall length in check, the chainstay is 434mm with a 64-degree head angle for a total wheelbase of 1239mm. Sporting a 468mm reach, the Pivot Firebird had the longest front-center in our test.
