Buying criteria for an alpine ski set
The time to put on the right skis has finally come for you. You've decided to invest in a new pair of skis. There are several criteria that’ll make your choice easier. Beforehand, progression, safety, comfort and fun are criteria that many skiers base their choice on. But the profile of the skier should be the first element to be taken into account. This profile is based on the skier's technical level and frequency of practice. The recommended ski is the perfectly manoeuvrable one for beginners.
For intermediates, the ideal choice is a comfortable and progressive ski. It is useful for curvs at medium speed. They make any skier capable of skiing on various types of slopes in the ski resort. It allows you to progress more quickly at any speed. The dynamic/evolutionary skis are recommended for advanced skiers. They are meant to be used by skiers that have been skiing frequently for several years.
This kind of men's ski packages or women's ski packages allow you to ski on any slopes. It is the ideal equipment for mastering parallel turns. The recommended high performance ski is for experts only. It allows you to be perfectly comfortable and balanced on the snow. It offers the opportunity to ski with perfect control and good fluidity.
The choice of ski according to the terrain
The purchase of alpine ski packages should be made according to the type of terrain you’ll use them on. Each range of skis is intended for given uses and different terrains. The downhill ski is suitable for all skiers looking for performance and precision on packed snow. It is the choice of recreational skiers who prefer to ride all the trails in the ski resort. These are short skis with a narrow waist to have better responsiveness and curve initiation. They have wide tips that make it easier to start the turns.
The All-Mountain skis are for trafficked, powder, soft or hard snow. They are very practical skis to manoeuvre. They are comfortable and above all safe for all terrains. They have a medium waist width, a balanced turn radius to facilitate large and small turns and a fairly long tip. Freestyle skis are lightweight, versatile and durable.
Choosing an alpine ski pack based on your body type
In addition to these selection criteria, the morphology must be taken into account to choose a suitable ski. This personal criterion takes into account gender, weight and height. The women's ski pack fits women perfectly. It rhymes with the morphological specifics of the female gender. In addition to the feminine silk-screen, some technical features are taken into account for the comfort of the woman such as lighter items or raised heel. The height of a ski also depends on that of the skier and her/his ski program.
The freeride ski must be consistent with the height of the skier. For all mountain and freestyle skis, choosing a ski that is 10 to 15 centimeters below the height of the skier is ideal. The weight of a skier influences at the level of the torsion and pop of the ski. Special attention is therefore required for the purchase of alpine ski pack.
