| In short | Best for advanced skiers who spend most days on groomed runs. At 170 cm it suits riders about 174 to 182 cm (5'9" to 6'0") tall. It has the narrowest waist here (72 mm), so it is quickest edge to edge on firm snow and the shortest turn radius (13.1 m), so it turns quickest. It comes with a binding, so it is ready to ski. | Best for intermediate to expert skiers who spend most days on all-mountain and freeride skiing, with some time in deep snow. At 179 cm it suits riders about 175 to 196 cm (5'9" to 6'5") tall. It has a 99 mm waist between the other two and the longest turn radius (18 m), so it stays calm at speed. Metal in the layup makes it damp and stable at speed, at the cost of more effort at low speed. | Best for intermediate to expert skiers who spend most days on powder, with some time in mixed snow around the resort. At 180 cm it suits riders about 172 to 193 cm (5'8" to 6'4") tall. It has the widest waist here (110 mm), so it floats best in soft snow and the longest turn radius (18 m), so it stays calm at speed. |
Terrain ratings are estimated from published shape. Where a brand gives no rocker percentages, they come from its profile description. Without a published weight, the Backcountry rating is reduced slightly.
Ski words, explained
What the numbers mean
- Rocker
- The tip or tail curves up off the snow early, like a banana.
- More tip rocker floats in powder and makes turns easier to start.
- Camber
- The gentle upward arch under your foot when the ski lies flat.
- More camber gives grip and rebound on hard snow.
- Sidecut
- The hourglass shape seen from above: wider at the tip and tail, narrower underfoot.
- A deeper sidecut makes tighter turns.
- Turn radius
- The size of the arc the ski carves on edge, in meters, set by the sidecut.
- Under 15 m turns quickly. Over 20 m feels calm at speed.
- Waist
- The width of the ski underfoot, in millimeters.
- Narrow skis switch edges fast on hard snow. Wide skis float in soft snow.
- Tip and tail
- The widest points at the front and back of the ski.
- A wide tip pulls the ski into turns. A tail close to the tip width means a twin tip.
- Twin tip
- A ski turned up at both ends, so it can ride backward.
- Standard for park skiing, playful everywhere else.
- Effective edge
- The length of edge touching the snow when you turn.
- Rocker shortens it, so rockered skis ski shorter than their length.
- System ski
- A ski sold with a matching binding already fitted.
- Common for beginner and progressing skis. Simpler to buy.
