Buying skis: what should you pay attention to?

Matching the equipment to the type of activity, degree of experience, and preferences has a key impact on satisfaction and results during riding. Before you choose the best skis for yourself from the Sportano offer, pay attention to detailed parameters and equipment construction from world-class manufacturers like Atomic.

Hardness

Skis with lower hardness will work for the beginning of the adventure with riding on the slope. They are characterized by easier control and forgive more mistakes to inexperienced skiers. You will find them among the equipment of valued brands like Fischer or Rossignol. Do you care about improving your skills? Bet on models with greater stiffness, which will improve riding precision. We offer professionals skis with high hardness guaranteeing high dynamics and efficiency.

Turn

The turning radius of skis is responsible for stability during riding and effective turns, so professional skiers rely on skis with a small radius – below 13 meters, which allows for greater maneuverability. In search of equipment that will ensure you greater precision and speed, browse the offer of manufacturers Head, Salomon, Atomic, and Dynastar. Beginner skiers will find perfect skis with a turning radius in the range of 13-18 meters.

Advancement level

Skis for beginner skiers are distinguished by a construction that allows easier control over the ride and maintaining smoothness. An ideal choice will be equipment with greater width and turning radius and lower stiffness. The profile of the front ski tip is also important – a larger upturn means better control over the descent and easy introduction of the ski into the glide. As you improve your skills, equipment for intermediate and experienced skiers awaits you at Sportano.

Height

How to choose skis for height? At Sportano, you will find equipment dedicated to women, men, and children of various heights. When choosing, remember to maintain the appropriate proportion between the length of the skis and height. Women's downhill skis should be characterized by a length 15-20 cm shorter than the woman's height, while men's – 10-15 cm shorter than the man's height. This rule will help you choose your first skis more easily.
