Alpine Race Skis

What Constitutes Race Skis?

Race skis are highly specialised carving skis designed for proficient skiers who partake in alpine racing or relish descending the slopes as swiftly as possible. In contrast to regular piste skis that vibrate at high velocities, race skis are stiffer and heftier, ensuring stability and control on compact snow. Ready yourself to surpass your personal best and experience the thrill while executing deep turns on-piste.

Selecting the Appropriate Type and Length of Race Skis

The initial step is to determine which type of race ski you desire. The disciplines are divided into four categories - Slalom (SL), Giant Slalom (GS), Super G and Downhill.

What should be the length of your race skis? This depends on your experience, height, and weight. It's essential to have skis that align with your physique and the preferred ski racing style to maximise your performance and efficiency on the slopes. If you are uncertain about the correct ski length for you, have a look at our Piste and Racing Ski Size Chart to begin.

In What Ways Do Racing Skis Differ?

The two prevalent types of race skis are Slalom and Giant Slalom skis. Slalom skis feature a small turning radius, facilitating short and tight turns. Giant Slalom / GS skis possess a larger turning radius, making them more suitable for executing bigger turns at high speeds.
