Bso let's put it at the top here that I look at things very much from the point of view of the country. If you plan to go uphill, then you should choose light skis and equipment. So these are the observations I've made along the way. They do not correlate with anyone else's thoughts or manufacturers' sales pitches. When thinking about choosing a ski, it would be good if a person planning a purchase decision could test several models of skis. The fact is, however, that in Finland you rarely get into such conditions where you think of using skis, so you can't find out the real characteristics or behavior patterns of the ski on the slopes. What a ski does or how a ski works in soft snow is completely different from how it works on a groomed slope.
Vduring the last few years, I have been able to see from a very close distance the ski choices of skiers of different levels. Sometimes it would seem that the purchases have been influenced by factors other than the calculator's own skill. In the middle of a lot of equipment and learning new things, it is not easy to understand what kind of skis you should get for yourself. Advice is asked from the wrong people and when you don't have the knowledge, it's easy to make the wrong ski choice.
Ujump now, color doesn't matter. I would imagine that there will be some gasps among readers now, but the truth is that color doesn't matter. Many have seen that a ski is chosen purely based on appearance. This has directly led to problems with the wrong skis when going uphill. It's better to remember those good moments on the slopes than how nice they look.
Here is a good example of how diverse skis are on the market. In addition to the base shape, there are also different shapes of the side cut.
Vunder easy and versatile skis. As the latest craze, they have started selling narrower and straighter skis for free skiing. When thinking about pieda jobs, a narrow ski does not give the feeling of ease that comes with the width. The skis swim deeper and the skier must have much more skill to steer them than with a wider ski.
Plot shape largely determines your driving line. The straight ski is intended for straight line descent. When going down a straight line, the tips of the skis point directly downhill. Usually it means a fast and determined descent. If you don't know if you can calculate a straight line, a straight ski is not your choice. A considerably easier choice is a ski with a heel rocker. When the heel is raised, the ski does not want to stick to the snow in the same way. This gives the skier the opportunity to ski the tail and ski much more versatile lines than a straight ski does.
These were my first completely new skis. They are still the most fun skis I've ever skied on.
Qthe eular rocker lets the ski turn more smoothly than a ski where the edge line continues almost to the bow. Rocker means a shape where the bow or tail of the ski bends upwards significantly earlier than in traditional or old-style skis. Such skis are more forgiving even in variable snow conditions and give the skier the opportunity to descend significantly more on a cross slope than just a straight line.
Sit is also good to look at the length before buying. If you choose bow and stern skis, you can choose a ski of your own size. There is no need to go shorter. However, if you end up with a straight ski, it may be slightly shorter than you. A more experienced calculator, on the other hand, knows the size of his own ski.
There rests a mixture of traditional skiing and modern design. There is a bow rocker in the bow and the stern is more traditional, only slightly raised. These went nicely into the turn, but the rear quickly caught up.
Ofor my lady, I chose a ski that was wide enough and equipped with both rockers. Easy enough for this skill. With a little guidance and the right equipment, it didn't take many days for Martina to be able to enjoy the hill so much that the forest resounded with joy.
OFoh yeah, these here. If this is at all helpful when choosing skis, then fine.
