Alpine Race Skis

Understanding Race Skis

Race skis are highly specialised carving skis crafted for proficient skiers who compete in alpine racing or relish carving swiftly down the slopes. Unlike standard piste skis, which can vibrate at high velocities, race skis are stiffer and heavier, providing stability and control on hard-packed snow. Get ready to surpass your personal records and experience the adrenaline rush while executing deep turns on-piste.

Selecting the Correct Type and Length of Race Skis

Your initial choice should be which type of race ski you require. The disciplines are divided into four categories: Slalom (SL), Giant Slalom (GS), Super G, and Downhill.

Regarding the appropriate length for your race skis, it is influenced by your expertise, height, and weight. Selecting skis that align with your body and desired ski racing style is crucial, as it maximises your efficiency and performance on the slopes. If unsure about the suitable ski length, refer to our Piste and Racing Ski Size chart to assist you.

What Sets Racing Skis Apart?

The two predominant types of race skis are Slalom and Giant Slalom skis. Slalom skis, with their small turning radius, facilitate executing short and precise turns with ease. Giant Slalom / GS skis, having a larger turning radius, are ideal for executing broader turns at high speeds.
