examples of skis

Skis are adapted to the requirements of each event; their performance on snow depends on their length, width and design.

downhill and super-G ski

Long rigid ski that provides a high level of stability and excellent glide; it is designed for straightaways and for speed.

giant slalom ski

Medium-length ski that provides greater flex than a downhill ski; it is suited to long turns and it remains stable at high speeds.

slalom ski

Short narrow ski that makes it possible to quickly shift from one edge to the other; its dissymmetric shovel is designed to push back the gate poles in the event of contact.
