All Mountain Skis
Benefits of the all mountain ski
The name aptly indicates that all-mountain skis offer flexibility and are suitable for the skiing disciplines: piste, off-piste, and occasionally even the park. These skis cater to individuals looking to diversify their skiing techniques and explore various terrains. Rather than acquiring separate skis for each discipline, one can invest in a single pair of all mountain skis that cover almost every need. However, enthusiasts focused solely on performing tricks or racing downhill should explore the specific category designed to meet their specialised requirements.
Broadly speaking, all mountain skis feature considerable width and elevated tips, offering an advantage when tackling off-piste conditions. Nonetheless, they also perform well on the piste. A narrower ski often excels on the piste, whereas a wider ski benefits off-piste activities. For those who enjoy pistes and off-piste equally, opting for all mountain skis with medium width, which are generally well-suited for both, might be wise.
The majority of all mountain skis combine a Camber and Rocker baseline to enhance performance across varied disciplines. Nevertheless, certain models may be found with a complete Camber or Rocker baseline.
Distinction between Backcountry skis and All Mountain skis
Given the necessity for versatility in all mountain skis, their construction frequently incorporates elements borrowed from other ski types, like backcountry or twintip skis. Backcountry skis, recognised for their width, facilitate easier gliding over snow. Known as freeride or off-piste skis, backcountry skis are engineered for pristine, freshly fallen powder in off-piste environments, usually featuring underfoot widths of 100 mm or more. Some skis within the all mountain category also prove effective for backcountry skiing, as indicated in the product specifications.
