All the skis in our product range offer the stability you need in your favourite snow-white conditions. You just need to decide exactly what you want to use them for before making your choice.

What do I need to pay attention to when choosing skis?

What do I need to pay attention to when choosing skis?

The pair of skis that suits you best depends on more than just the length of your skis. We’ve listed the main considerations:

  • Your level: whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or expert doesn't just depend on how long you’ve been skiing. Be honest with yourself and consider your own pace, experience, and feel on the skis. 
  • The terrain: on the slopes, you are best off with piste skis. If you’re going both on and off-piste, choose all-mountain skis. And if you prefer to cut through the deep snow, you’ll need a pair of freeriders.
  • Your preferences: you have a lot to choose from. Do you prefer flexible bindings, stiffer skis lengthwise, or smoother skis widthwise? Do you prefer narrower skis so you can carve better, or a wider pair that will carry you through powder better?
  • The length: the shorter your skis, the more agile you are. That extra agility is especially interesting for beginners. Advanced skiers are better off choosing longer skis, with which you can run nice, stable lines.

The different types of skis

Are all skis the same? Of course not. The differences may not seem big, but they are important. We distinguish between three types of skis:

  • Piste: short and narrow, making it fast and agile. Perfect for those who prefer to stay on the slopes.
  • All-mountain: fitted with a longer nose. For those looking for snow both on and off-piste.
  • Freeride: wider and shorter with plenty of carrying power and manoeuvrability to keep you upright in powdery snow, even off-piste.

Shorter skis are more suitable for beginner skiers as they are more manoeuvrable and you have more control. Ideally, they should be 10 to 15 cm shorter than your height. You can make nice, straight lines on longer skis, but they are quite a bit harder to manoeuvre. They are 10 cm shorter than your height and ideal for advanced and expert skiers. 

Our advice

Can’t see the snow through all the skis? Our experts make sure you always stay upright in the snow thanks to their tips and helpful reviews.
