Coastline

The rib line corresponds to the width in mm of tip, runner and tail.
The wider the tip, the easier the ski enters the turn.
The narrower the runner, the faster the edge-to-edge transition.
The wider the runner, the more comfortable and stable the ski is in snow changes.

As for curve radius, the smaller the radius, the shorter the turn (small turn)
The larger the curve radius, the larger the turn.

What is a camber?

When a ski is placed on the ground, the points of contact between the ski and the snow are located near the tip and tail, while the center of the ski (under the bindings) rises slightly. This is camber. The longer and higher the camber, the more grippy and responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving and maneuverable the ski.

What is a rocker?

On a rocker ski, the tip and sometimes the tail lift off the ground earlier than on a cambered ski, shifting the contact points towards the center of the ski. The ski's surface in contact with the snow is shortened, offering maneuverability and lift in soft snow. With the angled rocker, you gain edge length for more grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the more maneuverable your ski.

Our après-ski tips

After a good day's skiing, here's what you need to do to ensure your skis last a long time:
* Wipe down your edges at the end of the day to prevent rust.
* Use self-gripping straps between your skis to prevent the soles from rubbing against each other.
* Store your skis in a dry place protected from the sun.
