Twin Tip Skis / Freestyle Skis

Twin Tip Skis Excel in Snowparks

Created for executing tricks within snowparks and exploiting the natural features at ski resorts, twin tip skis are also recognised as freestyle or park skis. They are ideal for taking on jumps, sliding along rails, and gliding over boxes.

Snowparks typically feature a range of jump sizes and obstacles, known as features, catering to various skiing skill levels. It's recommended that you become proficient outside the snowpark prior to your initial venture inside.

What Sets Freestyle Skis Apart?

“Twin tip” refers to the skis' symmetrical upward curve found at both ends, facilitating easier landing and backward approach to features after performing tricks. Some freestyle skis boast partial twin tips, also called tip and tail rocker, where the tips curve more than the tails. This characteristic is common in both all-mountain and freeride skis. The design of freestyle skis ensures their adaptability, allowing usage across diverse mountainous terrains.

In freestyle skis, the binding mounting point typically differs from that of conventional skis. It is suggested that the mounting point be nearer the skis' true centre, unlike piste skis where it is positioned closer to the tails. This offers enhanced backward stability and improved balance when manoeuvring on rails and boxes. Each set of skis includes a recommended mounting point advised by ski designers for optimal binding placement, and following this guideline is generally advisable, although some skiers may have personal preferences.
