On-piste, Freeride, All mountain or Freestyle skis? Which size to choose? Wide or narrow? The skis should allow you to glide nicely while ensuring safety and making progress. It's sometimes difficult to find what you want. Discover all the criteria you need to consider when getting yourself kitted out.
You should choose your skis based on 3 criteria: the type of skiing, your level and body shape.
Finally, if you prefer terrain parks, doing jumps and trying new modules, choose Freestyle skis. Double ski tips, light and strong with great handling.
You prefer powder? Then it's certainly a pair of Freeride skis you need. Very wide (over 85 mm) and with a rocker at the front and/or rear, they float on powder snow while being manoeuvrable.
Do you like carving nice turns on the ski slopes? Then we recommend downhill skis. Fairly narrow, these skis give you more responsiveness from one turn to the next and good traction.
If you like on-piste as much as the edges of groomed slopes and having fun with the way the slope undulates, choose All Mountain skis. Fairly wide (between 75 and 85 mm) with a fairly long tip and a slight rocker, they are versatile regardless of the quality of the snow and guarantee good handling on-piste.
Our skis are classified by level:
You ski fast in all types of snow and on all slopes. You know perfectly well how to vary the different turns (small radius, wide, carved turns, skid turns)
You're comfortable on green to red slopes, on most slopes and snow types, you've mastered skid turns and want to progress with the technique of carving turns.
You want to start skiing and/or make progress without wanting to tackle the toughest trails and slopes.
The shorter the skis, the more manoeuvrable they are. That's why beginners should choose shorter skis. Heavier skiers can choose bigger skis.

The skier's weight also has an influence on their ability to control their skis. For example, a light skier will find it harder to control and "bend" a rigid ski. Lighter skiers should go for a flexible to medium ski, while heavy skiers should choose a medium ski. Rigid skis are only for expert skiers.
