Purpose, areas of application and requirements

Ski stoppers for freeski bindings are used wherever you stop briefly or change between runs: at ascent stations, in steep couloirs or during technical checks at the summit. You need a stopper that grips firmly and folds out automatically when you put it down without moving under load. Whether you're on wide powder skis or narrow touring skis, the stopper must fit the ski width and binding exactly.

The way to the right ski stopper for freeski bindings

1. Check compatibility
   Compare your binding brand and model with the information on the ski stopper. A width-adjustable stopper offers flexibility, while a race stopper provides maximum grip for racing.
2. Determine ski width
   Measure the center width of your skis. Pay attention to the compatibility information: A stopper that is too narrow can slip, a stopper that is too wide can jam.
3. Weigh up material and weight
   Glass fiber-reinforced polyamide is light and robust, while aluminium alloys offer greater torsional rigidity. The extra weight may be justified for demanding terrain.
4. Select mounting system
   Tool-free removable stoppers allow you to quickly switch between different pairs of skis. Permanently mounted models sit without play.
5. Determine the application profile
   Standard stoppers are suitable for versatile use, while race stoppers are designed for maximum performance at speed and under load. Weigh up the pros and cons to determine what performance you need.

At XSPO you get personal advice from winter sports enthusiasts and an extensive range of tested ski stoppers. So you can find exactly the right stopper for your freeski binding and get off to a safe start.
