Ski mountaineering skis - MTHIKER shop ⛷️

Ski mountaineering skis are specialised skis designed for off-piste adventures that involve climbing up a slope and descending in a variety of untracked snow conditions. These skis are carefully crafted to find a balance between lightweight construction for efficient uphill climbing and excellent handling and stability for the ultimate downhill experience. Be sure to consider the following factors when choosing your ski mountaineering skis:

Ski weight: Light skis are better for efficient ascent and save energy of the skier, heavier skis are more stable on groomed slopes
Ski width: Narrower skis provide better efficiency on the climb and maneuverability in tight spots. Wide skis are suitable for powder and provide better stability during downhill in ungroomed terrain.
Ski profile: "Camber" improves edge grip and stability, which is very important for downhill skiing. The "Rocker" improves especially the float in powder.
Ski length: Shorter skis provide better handling and agility. Longer skis provide better stability at higher speeds and handle better in deep snow. The length of the skis also depends on the height and ability of the rider.
Ski materials: Carbon fibre or advanced composites reduce the weight of the skis, which you'll appreciate during ascents, while durable materials ensure the skis can withstand the rigours of the terrain.

By carefully considering these factors, you can find ski touring skis that suit your individual preferences and enhances your overall ski touring experience.
