Guide to the Right Skis

Are you thinking about buying new skis but not completely sure which ones are the right for you? Read the tips below and we’re confident you’ll quickly find the perfect match.

Women’s All-round skis: skis designed for women. Compared to men’s models, they are slightly softer and have an adapted geometry.

In addition, the color combinations on the skis ensure they perfectly match your new ski outfit. Beginners should choose slightly shorter skis, which are easier to maneuver. The ski length should be 10 to 15 cm shorter than body height. More advanced female skiers and speed enthusiasts will prefer skis 5 to 10 cm shorter than their body height.

In recent years, from more “freeski” oriented countries such as the USA and Canada, and in Europe from France, the trend of slightly wider all-round skis has been spreading. Manufacturers have adapted these skis to the Central European market (widths 78–86 mm), while still combining most of the advantages of classic alpine skis – strong edge grip, torsional stability, liveliness… Thanks to the extra width, these skis are particularly welcome when slope conditions are less than ideal: fresh or soft snow, spring conditions. They forgive more mistakes and provide the skier with more reaction time. Despite all these advantages, they still deliver excellent edge grip even on morning “ice” or freshly groomed slopes.
