Freeride ski sets

Choosing the right freeride ski set is essential in order to enjoy off-piste adventures and freeride skiing. Here's a guide to help you choose the perfect freeride ski set:

• Freeride ski length: Freeride skis are often longer than traditional skis to provide stability in deep snow and varied terrain. Select a length that fits your height, weight, and skiing preferences. Longer skis generally ride better in powder snow, while shorter skis are more manoeuvrable.
• Freeride ski width: Freeride skis are usually wider to make them float better in powder. For optimal performance in deep snow, consider a ski width of 100 mm or more. Wider skis provide stability in variable conditions, while slightly narrower skis provide better carving ability on groomed trails.
• Freeride ski profile: Freeride skis are typically characterized by a rocker profile, in which the tips and tails are raised above the snow. This improves handling and float in powder. Consider the amount of rocker and camber that suits your skiing style. More rocker provides better powder performance, while more camber improves edge grip on hard snow.
• Bindings: Choose a binding that matches your skiing style and terrain. Look for bindings with solid construction and the ability to handle the challenges of freeride. If you plan to do back country skiing, consider bindings that allow you to climb uphill.
• Weight: Consider the weight of your ski set, especially if you plan to ski in open terrain off-piste. Lighter equipment is advantageous on uphill climbs.

By considering these factors and doing thorough research, you can find a freeride set, that matches your skill level, skiing style, and the type of terrain you plan to ski.
