NOTE: USSA Masters rules conform to the FIS Masters equipment rules. USSA recommends that the competitors in USSA Masters events compete on equipment designed for the particular discipline (DH, SL, GS, SG), but does not make any recommendations in regards to ski length.

For the FIS recommendations for ski length, ski radius and ski waist width see the current FIS Specification for competition equipment.
