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.
Sidecuts.
122/84/105 mm in 167 cm
Radius = 15 m in 167 cm
These are the widths of the nose (front of the ski), the waist (middle) and the tail (rear). A wide tip makes it easy to enter turns, while a narrow waist grips on hard snow.
Weight.
The skis weigh 4,920 g per pair.
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.
What are all-mountain skis?
All-mountain skis are highly versatile models that adapt to all types of terrain and snow conditions: on-piste, edge of the piste, off-piste, icy, powdery snow, etc. This type of ski offers a good compromise between stability and manoeuvrability, allowing you to ski with confidence all day long.
