Touring skis - Perfectly equipped for icy adventures with XSPO

Touring skis are winter sports equipment specially designed for ski touring. These skis have special features and are designed for both descents and ascents.

The all-rounders on alpine slopes

Touring skis are not just for skiing down icy slopes, they are also perfect for the ascent. To ensure you don't reach your limits in deep snow, touring skis are a must. Lightweight equipment saves energy when climbing the mountain. These skis also differ from conventional alpine skis in terms of length and width. A touring ski is shorter, wider and also softer.

Touring skis meet the requirements that await you on tours in the backcountry. The skis are true all-rounders and adapted to almost all terrain and snow conditions. Skis with Carbon Tip and Aeroshape are impressive on the ascent and descent. The newly developed Channel Light core technology gives you more maneuverability and momentum by redistributing the weight. A metal strip attached above the wood core makes the ski safe and stable even during the most demanding maneuvers.

The right touring skis for the different areas of application

A distinction is made between ascent-oriented touring skis that are as light and narrow as possible. They are made for regular touring on longer tours of over 1,000 m and sometimes even longer ascents. Freeride touring skis are particularly suitable for descents through deep snow. They are the widest and heaviest touring skis, but are therefore also more stable and particularly advantageous on hard surfaces and rugged terrain. All-round touring skis combine lightness and maneuverability with downhill performance. They are suitable for beginners as well as experienced tourers. For all those who want to enjoy both the ascent and the descent. Racer touring skis are all about performance and best times. They are therefore the narrowest, lightest and most maneuverable, but somewhat weaker on descents.

What you should look out for when buying touring skis

In order to get the best possible benefit from touring skis, you should consider when buying whether the skis should be more robust and whether you prefer fast descents or whether you prefer lightweight skis that allow you to make good progress on the mountain. You can also opt for either weight or stability. As you also want to keep the touring boot as light as possible, often only two buckles are offered. However, four buckles usually offer more stability on the descent. The model should therefore always be adapted to your requirements or a compromise should be chosen between the two.

Anyone who goes ski touring wants to experience a lot and needs skis that can handle a lot. At XSPO you can order cheap touring skis online and convince yourself of the versatility of the material and the technical sophistication of the skis on the mountain and on descents in deep snow.
