Alpine skis - the basis for maximum fun on the slopes at XSPO

Alpine skis stand for pure winter fun - from the first carving turn on the family slope to the sporty race feeling on a hard edge. Whether you're gliding comfortably down the slope or testing your limits in competition, with the right equipment you can ski more safely, with more control and more fun. At XSPO, you'll find the right choice for every ability and every terrain.

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 racing skis for top speeds to sport carvers with a dynamic curve feeling and all-mountain skis for mixed conditions. If you are looking for a challenge in deep snow, Freeride skis are the right choice, while Freestyle and Park skis shine in the fun park and off-piste. The equipment is complemented by ski boots with an optimum fit and Poles of the right length so that every movement is transmitted precisely.
