This is the guide of skis:
To choose The ski most suitable for our characteristics, we must pig Some fundamental questions that bring us to the category and the most congenial ski to our needs.
What is the curve What do I prefer? Wide -ranging or short -range?
I prefer the Hard/compact snow Or the soft and dusty snow (even off the track)?
I prefer a ski that guarantees me the stability Or a ski that gives me handling?
I want one comfortable skiing (can I ski all day without getting tired) or more performing?
After answering these simple questions, we can understand which macro-category we belong to be able to choose the suitable equipment.
Race Carving
Ski suitable for good level skier, who likes one skiing aggressive and slopes with compact snow or frozen.
It has a more rigid soul, usually in wood. They are divided into a short -range skiing and a long range of curve.
The short -range skiing It is recommended for those who love the tight curves, the measure of skiing should be from 5/10 cm less than the height of the person, up to a maximum of 20 cm less.
The long -haul skiing, suitable for whom loves speed And the large curves should be taken with a measure that varies from the same height of the subject up to 10 cm more. (If you are very heavy or want more aggression).
Allrund
It is lo more versatile ski, which adapts to both a ski conduct, and to a skiing skiing.
It has a softer soul and can be of different types of material.
Is one softer skiing Compared to the Race Carving, which also easily forgive any errors.
The ski varies according to the level of the skier, where we can find skis for beginners, which have softer structures In order to facilitate entry into the corner and the management, and skiing with A more rigid structure (more experienced skiers) who guarantee greater aggression and stability at high speeds.
For the measure, it is recommended to beginner or medium level skiers 5/10 cm less than the height.
For more experienced skiers, we recommend a measure equal to the height of the subject, or slightly higher.
All Mountain
It is a ski with features similar to the allrund, but more wide (especially in the central part) and sometimes even softer.
The greatest width allows a natural floating in fresh snow, allowing a more comfortable off -track ski but, thanks to sciancrature It can be safely used on the track.
Ideal for those who want to have fun both on the track and off -track.
The recommended measures are the same as the Allrund skis.
Freeride
Skiing very wide, suitable for those who love the output and the fresh snow And dusty.
Freeride skiing has a Decidedly accentuated rocker, which allows best changes of direction in fresh snow.
Not very suitable for beaten slopes. The measures vary from the needs and characteristics of the subject: from the same height for those who want to handle up to 10 cm more for those who want more stability.
GLOSSARY
- Sciancrature: shape of the skiing that determines the curve radius. The greater the difference between the tip, center and tail, the lower the curve ray will be. The determined curve radius is purely theoretical because it is calculated in a static way, but it makes us understand what kind of ski we are buying (large or short radius);
- Soul: It is the internal structure of the skiing, which can be in wood, with titanal lamina for more technical skis, or in synthetic materials, usually softer, for easier skis;
- Rocker: It is the characteristic of all the newly concept ski, that is, the folding of the ski in the part of the tip (Race Carving, Allmountain and Allroound) and the tip and tail (allmountain freeride). In this last case we will call it Twin tip rocker. Rocker allows greater ease in entering the curve.
