Skis come in all shapes and sizes. From piste skis to off-piste skis and competition skis. Which ski suits you best depends on several factors.
A slalom ski is a ski that is easy to turn and has a high horizontal stability. Slalom skis have very good edge grip on hard slopes with short turns.
A freeride ski is a (very) wide ski, made for off-piste descents in powder snow. The width of the ski ensures that you have more buoyancy.
An all-round ski is a versatile piste ski, suitable for a wide target group. The ski prefers skiing medium turns at high speed, but also performs well when carving short or long turns.
A touring ski is a light ski, specially developed for ski touring. Touring skis come in various types, with one being more focused on climbing and the other offering more performance on the descent.
A freestyle ski is a ski that has been specially developed for freestyle skiing. Freestyle skis are a lot shorter and lighter than piste skis.
