Slalom skis and giant slalom skis - high-quality equipment in the pro ski online shop
Slalom is a repeated sequence of turns characterised by a series of gates. While the giant slalom course has fewer gates and the slalom skiers accelerate faster as a result, the slalom is characterised by significantly shorter turns and a narrower fall line. The slalom ski or giant slalom ski is specially designed for this type of skiing.
Slalom GS racing skis - precisely crafted and advanced skis
In alpine skiing, the slalom is not only one of the oldest competitions, but also one of the most demanding. Due to the short distances between the individual gates, maximum technique is required to master the rapid changes in direction. The material requirements are correspondingly high. Precise edge grip and fluid turn initiation must be guaranteed for both ski models.
With a free-gliding upper deck and improved material, the Slalom GS racing ski absorbs the force of impacts and thus ensures greater stability on the descent. Both model variants have a special cut shape - the so-called sidecut - which is adapted for short, medium and long radii. Slalom skis are primarily designed for dynamics and fast reactions, while giant slalom skis are significantly smoother and more fluid in handling.
Due to the high technical demands and the comparatively fast speeds on the descent, slalom skis are more recommended for advanced skiers. In contrast, the giant slalom is the closest of the professional disciplines in skiing to the general public.
The slalom ski is adapted to the most demanding competition in alpine skiing. Harmonious flex, high manoeuvrability and fast piste performance enable top performance in terms of dynamics and speed. With giant slalom skis, on the other hand, the focus is more on smooth running and harmonious turn initiation. Both are available in a wide range of models here at xspo.
- Slalom models are technically highly demanding
- Both the slalom ski and the giant slalom ski are adapted to special conditions
- The giant slalom ski is also used by recreational skiers
