Purpose and areas of application in the alpine sector
Alpine skiing is all about groomed slopes - whether as a leisure activity or in sporting competitions. The spectrum ranges from
Ski categories and equipment features in comparison
| Race skis (Race Ski) | Competition, high speed, hard piste | maximum smoothness, direct edge grip | require precise technique, not very forgiving |
| Sport Carver (Sport Performance) | Medium to high speed on the piste | Dynamic cornering behavior, sporty and agile | less suitable for deep snow |
| Allmountain skis | Piste and easy off-piste | Versatile, changing conditions | Slightly slower on hard slopes |
| Freeride skis | Deep snow, unprepared terrain | high buoyancy, stable in soft snow | bulkier on the slope |
| Freestyle / Park Ski | Fun park, jumps, tricks | Robust, maneuverable, bent up on both sides | less edge grip at high speed |
| Ski boots | Power transmission, stability | Firm hold, individually adjustable | Incorrect fit reduces control |
| Poles | Balance, rhythm | improve technique, help with climbs | Incorrect length has a negative effect on posture |
