You can try, ask questions, and find the equipment that works best for you before buying. In general, skis should come up somewhere between your chin and the top of your head. For a snowboard, it should be slightly shorter than your height to make it easier to handle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"645\" data-end=\"912\"><strong data-start=\"645\" data-end=\"655\">Boots<\/strong><br data-start=\"655\" data-end=\"658\" \/>Boots should fit snugly without being uncomfortable. Your heel should not lift when you bend your knees, and your toes should barely touch the front. Boots that are too big make controlling your skis or snowboard difficult and can cause blisters.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"1060\"><strong data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"924\">Helmet<\/strong><br data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"927\" \/>Always a good idea, especially for beginners.
