Here's a basic chart to get you started:
Sizing skis is a little bit of an art and a little bit of a science. There are numerous factors that all affect the optimal ski length for you.
A few of the factors are:
- Skier size and weight
- Skier ability (experts size up, beginners size down)
- Type of terrain you like
- Where you normally ski
- Current ski size
The list could go on and on, but if you need help with the decision, always feel free to call us at 231.459.4323, live chat, or email us!

Jeremy Rowe - Keweenaw Night Sky Photography
Keweenaw Night Sky by Jeremy Rowe has been capturing the night sky since 2009.
Jeremy relies on smart phone apps that alert him to when Aurora Borealis will put on a show. Sometimes, a glow in the sky at dusk is his cue to load his dog in the car and drive to one of his favorite dark spots 20 miles away. He takes the majority of his photos in Keweenaw County.
He’s raced out before only to find the cloud cover was too thick.
“It’s a decisive moment. If you go to bed, you wake the next morning and somebody else might’ve caught it,” Rowe said.
Rowe picked up photography from his father, who’s an underwater photographer. He promotes his work on Facebook and also maintains a website where people can reach out to him about purchasing prints. It’s exhausting to stay up until 4 a.m. taking photos on a weeknight, but he sees himself as the correspondent for people who go to bed early and never experience the shimmering light show.
“I’m really a conduit for people who don’t get out to see this stuff,” Rowe said. “It does feel adventurous. I’m jumping in the car in the middle of the night and racing up north.”
Many of his favorite photography spots are between Eagle Harbor and Copper Harbor. A 70-degree night last October was especially “phenomenal,” he said.
“When they’re really, really intense, that’s when you don’t even realize time’s going by. You’re inside of the camera,” Rowe said.

What snow conditions are they made for?
Are they right for me?
The limited edition Northern Lights graphic is available on any ski model that we make. If you're unsure about which model is right for you, just give us a call at 231-459-4323 or email mail@skishaggys.com for help!
What length should I get?
Each model in our ski line has unique characteristics - please visit each individual ski model page for more info or contact us. View 2020 skis at https://www.skishaggys.com/collections/2019-2020-skis.
What bindings should I get?
You can use any binding on these skis. The binding brake width must be at least as wide as the waist width of your selected ski model. For example, the Ahmeek 105s require a brake width of at least 105 mm. We run Marker Griffon bindings on our demo skis. Visit your local ski shop for bindings and mounting.
What are Camber Pockets?
Camber Pockets are additional small sections of camber (about 4" long and 0.030" tall) molded into the overall camber of the ski in front of and behind your midsole position. They increase contact pressure to improve grip on hardpack and ice.
Are they tuned and waxed?
Skis come tuned with a 1° base edge bevel and a 3° side edge bevel and a slight tip/tail detune. The skis are waxed with a universal temperature wax to get you going.
