Is the old adage of somewhere between chin and nose when in ski boots about right nowadays for a 9 year old???

Dunno
WE usually go a little higher, somewhere below eyebrow and above nose
BUT it alaos depends on ther size and their skiing style/ability

gryphea, +1 Our slim timid 8 year old has chin length skis and is progressing nicely, her ahem chunkier cousin with a more aggressive style has skis to her eyebrows (10 years).
Both are happy on their skis (they are pink!?) neither has had their equipment questioned by ski school instructors.

+ another for factoring in style/ability and weight too. And also remembering to go a bit longer with twin tips.

Buy massive ones, that way they can grow into them.
Hey, it works with trousers!

Tend to buy my 8 year old ones about eye height which she has no problem skiing and she uses them till they are around chin height. If I'm lucky that is 2 winters!

davkt, Ditto, buy 'em just higher than their eyebrows and get two years out of each pair.
