Caring for your skis: before, during and at the end of the season?
Maintenance is essential to keep your skis in good condition! Ideally, it should be done before you put them away in the garage at the end of the season: a good coat of wax before putting them away for the summer makes them last longer. Find out more about our advice on our website or from our in-store teams.
What is a camber?
On the ground, the points of contact between the ski and the snow are near the tip and tail, while the centre (under the bindings) rises slightly (this is the camber). The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the skis and the better the handling.
What is a rocker?
It is the tip and tail that lift off the ground. By recentering the points of contact between the skis and the ground, this shortens the amount of time that the skis touch the snow and improves handling / lift in soft snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.
Sidecuts.
24/76/103 mm.
These are the widths of the tip (front of the ski), the waist (middle) and the tail (rear). A wide tip makes it easier to turn, while a narrow waist grips better on hard snow.
Weight.
The skis weigh 4860 g per pair.
Bindings.
Salomon M bindings, which can be adjusted to fit any boot in the blink of an eye.
