Big Mountain

Big Mountain Ski - deep snow adventures in the highest league

Big Mountain skis stand for uncompromising performance in untouched powder and on steep descents. With wide center widths, pronounced rocker profiles and robust constructions, Big Mountain skis from XSPO give you the confidence and control to confidently master every line in high alpine terrain.

Purpose and areas of application

Big Mountain skis are specially developed for experienced Freeriders who are looking for steep slopes, deep powder fields and challenging lines. Their main use is away from marked pistes in high alpine terrain, where flotation in deep snow, stability at high speeds and agility for tight turns between rocks are crucial.

Important features and variants

Center width	110-120 mm	105-115 mm	Wider: maximum flotation in powder - Slightly narrower: faster edge changes on hard surfaces
Rocker profile	Full tip and tail rocker	Tip rocker with camber support	Full rocker: easy floating in deep snow - Mixed profile: additional grip on hard passages
Flex and torsional rigidity	Medium to soft flex, moderate stiffness	Stiffer flex, high torsional rigidity	Softer: fault tolerance and comfort in powder - Stiffer: precise power transmission at high speed
Material reinforcement	Carbon laminates	Titanal and carbon combination	Carbon: low weight for long tours - Titanal: maximum stability in rough conditions
Damping system	Lightweight vibration dampers	Integrated vibration dampers	More comfortable driving on rough terrain

How to find your ideal Big Mountain ski

Determine the type of terrain
Decide whether you are mainly looking for pure powder or whether you also want to ski in variable conditions with icy sections and firn.
Select center width
For pure deep snow use 110 mm and more, for more all-round performance 105-115 mm is enough.
Compare profile and flex
A full rocker makes floating easier, while camber under the binding provides more edge grip on hard surfaces. Soft flex offers fault tolerance, stiffer flex more directness.
Check material and damping
Carbon reduces weight and makes touring easier, while Titanal ensures maximum smoothness and stability under high loads. Vibration dampers increase comfort on uneven terrain.
Test rides allow you to fine-tune
Try out different lengths and set-ups at your dealer or at the XSPO test center to find the perfect model for your riding style.

When choosing your Big Mountain skis, you benefit from the individual advice and in-depth expert knowledge at XSPO. Our passion for Freeride and our diverse range will help you prepare for your next powder session in the best possible way.

Frequently asked questions about Big Mountain skis

What makes Big Mountain skis special compared to classic Freeride skis?
Big Mountain skis are wider and have pronounced rocker profiles to offer even better flotation and stability in deep snow.
What center width is typical for Big Mountain skis?
Big Mountain skis usually start at 110 mm and can have a center width of up to 120 mm or more.
How does a full tail rocker affect the handling?
A full tail rocker makes it easier to lift out the skis in deep snow and improves handling in soft conditions.
Are Big Mountain skis suitable for touring?
Models with carbon laminates can be used for light tours, but their priority is performance in deep snow, not minimum weight.
How important is torsional stiffness for Big Mountain skis?
High torsional rigidity enables precise turns and control even at high speeds and in demanding terrain.
