Here are the criteria to consider for your future purchase of alpine skis.
The choice of alpine skis should be made according to your skill level. It is important that your skis are tailored to the type of skier you are.
During your ski-session, you may find yourself skiing on different types of trails and snow. If you ski in fresh snow more often, choose powder skis. Choose carving skis if you ski down groomed runs. On the other hand, choose all-mountain skis if you want a ski that can adapt to different conditions.
It is important to take into consideration the radius of the skis. It represents the distance made by the ski during a turn.
- For small dynamic turns, choose a model with a shorter radius.
- If you enjoy making wider turns, choose a model with a longer radius.
The sidecut represents the dimensions of the skis which is the width of the tip, the waist (under the foot) and the tail of the ski. The greater the difference between the tip, the tail and the middle portion of the ski, the shorter the radius will be. The wider the waist (under the foot), the more flotation it will offer in powder snow.
The mountain offers one of the biggest playgrounds, with something for everyone. Groomers, All-mountaineers, freestyle or powder lovers, you will find everything you need to enjoy winter your way.
All mountain is synonymous with versatility. Regardless of the type of surface: groomed, transformed or powdery, this type of ski will adapt to the conditions you want to face. All mountain skis will particularly appeal to the more adventurous types.

Shop KitsEnjoying winter sports comes from choosing the right equipment. Boots, bindings, poles, helmets and goggles are just some of the items that are essential for a successful day of skiing.
Your boots must be adapted to your practice, which will influence their maneuverability. As for the size, go for snug comfort rather than a soft one.
A good choice of bindings will take into account your size, your skill level, your type of ski and of course your boots.
Ski poles allow you to move around and ensure your balance. When you buy a pole, the size you choose will be determined by your height.
Finding the right helmet is important. Ventilation, fit and lining are some of the components to consider for your alpine outings.
The choice of lens is not only a question of style, but mostly one of visibility.
A good fit of your goggles and helmet is essential to avoid fogging up during your descent. Your goggles are designed to filter light so that you can enjoy optimal vision during a foggy or a sunny day.
