Alpine Race Skis
Exploring Race Skis
Race skis are exquisitely designed carving skis crafted for seasoned skiers engaged in alpine racing or those who relish swiftly carving down the pistes. Unlike standard piste skis that may vibrate at higher velocities, race skis boast enhanced stiffness and weight, guaranteeing both stability and control on compacted snow. Thus, gear up to surpass your previous records and experience the thrill while executing deep turns on-piste.
Selecting the Appropriate Race Skis Type and Length
The initial step involves deciding the specific type of race ski appropriate for you. The categories of disciplines include Slalom (SL), Giant Slalom (GS), Super G, and Downhill.
The length of your race skis is contingent upon your expertise, height, and weight. It's crucial to select skis harmonious with your body structure and preferred racing style to optimise your efficacy and performance on the slopes. If uncertain about the correct ski length for you, take a look at our Piste and Racing Ski Size Chart to guide you.
In What Ways Do Racing Skis Differ?
The two predominant varieties of race skis are Slalom and Giant Slalom skis. Slalom skis feature a smaller turning radius, facilitating the execution of short and precise turns. Conversely, Giant Slalom / GS skis are constructed with a larger turning radius, making them ideal for expansive turns at elevated speeds.
