| Alpine skis love the hard groomed pistes. They're precise, fast and high performing. Suited to advanced through to race levels.
Freeride skis are all mountain animals that love the tough conditions. They float through powder, cut through crud and slice through the slush. Many now also have twin tips to allow back country tricks. Usually 50% on-piste, 50% off-piste, they are suitable for advanced, expert race skiers. All mountain, all terrain bandits are less demanding than the Freeride skis. They're easy to handle off the piste, but still provide good performance on the piste. 70% on-piste and 30% off-piste, these skis are suited to advanced and expert skiers. All mountain trailblazers are just that. They're easy turning piste carvers that love blazing around the blues and reds. Suited to beginners and intermediates through to advanced skiers. Just Cruising are very easy turning beginner and intermediate carving skis. They're perfect for cruising along blues and greens. Carving carvaholics are short, fun, extreme carving skis. They will perform best if used by advanced and expert skiers. Freestyle skiing has developped over the last ten years or so, moving away from the original idea of moguls and acrobatics to refer to park and pipe skiing. Freestyle or "Nu School" skis are shorter and have twin tips to facilitate rotations in the air and backwards (or switch/fakie) skiing. |
