Types of skis

• Alpine ski: rigid, performs well on piste. Ideal if you alternate between piste and touring.
• Cross-country ski: lightweight, for tours on groomed terrain and long traverses.
• Nordic ski: a term close to cross-country skiing, focused on efficiency and glide.

How to choose

Choose based on your weight, level, and usage. Look at the weight, waist width, turn radius, and construction. For climbing, prioritize lightweight; for deep snow, a wider width.

• Weight: essential if you are climbing for a long time.
• Width: waist narrow for cold powder, wide for deep powder.
• Stiffness: stiffer = better on piste.

Bindings require special attention. Also consider brakes and suitable skins. To not forget anything, add a helmet and goggles to your cart.
