Ski blades, often referred to by other names like snowblades, mini skis, or skiboards, are generally under 100cm in length. However, some short skis, sometimes called "long blades," can measure between 101-136cm.
Here's a breakdown for better understanding:
- Ski Blades (short): Typically less than 100cm. These are the "classic" ski blades, known for their extreme maneuverability and playful feel.
- Short Skis/Long Blades: Usually between 101cm and 136cm. These offer a bit more stability and control compared to shorter blades, while still maintaining a shorter length than traditional skis.
It's important to note that the terminology can be used interchangeably, so the exact length defining a "ski blade" versus a "short ski" can sometimes be subjective. Salomon, a popular brand, popularized the term "snowblades."
