Equipment

A winter sports holiday is an adventure that must be well prepared. The mountains are calling, the snow is perfect, and you’re ready to hit the slopes.

Skiing is one of the most exciting winter sports, but it can also be quite a challenge if you don’t have the right equipment.

The radius is the turning circle of a ski. The turning circle measures how long it takes for a ski to make its largest possible and complete turn.

To enjoy skiing, maintaining your skis is extremely important. Waxing and grinding is essential for a safe and comfortable descent in the snow.

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.
