Race Skis

Race skis are designed for skiers who demand precision, edge grip, and acceleration out of every turn. Built with World Cup-inspired construction, these skis deliver the stability and responsiveness needed to hold a clean line on firm, icy courses.

Advanced materials like wood cores, Titanal layers, and race plates work together to create powerful energy transfer and consistent flex. This allows race skis to grip hard snow, rebound quickly, and stay stable at speed. The result is a ski that feels connected, predictable, and fast from gate to gate.

Each discipline is tuned for a specific turn shape and speed. Slalom skis are quick and agile for tight, rapid turns. Giant slalom skis offer longer radius stability and strong edge hold. Super-G and downhill skis are built for maximum stability and confidence at high speeds.

Key Features

• Race-specific construction for SL, GS, and speed disciplines
• High torsional stiffness for strong edge grip on hard snow
• Wood core with Titanal for power, stability, and rebound
• Race plates enhance leverage and energy transfer
• Precision sidecuts tuned for discipline-specific turn shapes
• Structured bases designed for speed and wax performance

Choosing the Right Race Ski

Selecting the right race skis depends on your discipline, ability level, and size. Junior racers benefit from lighter, more forgiving constructions that support skill development. Advanced and FIS-level skis offer increased stiffness, stability, and power for aggressive skiing and higher speeds.

It’s also important to match ski length and radius to your event. SL skis are shorter with tighter radii for quick direction changes. GS skis are longer with larger radii for stability and speed. Speed skis require the most length and stability to stay controlled at high velocity.
