Choosing your alpine ski gear

Freshly groomed runs, changing snow conditions or a good powder day: your favourite terrain is a great starting point when choosing alpine skis. Skis designed for groomed runs prioritize edge grip and precise turns. All-mountain models offer versatility in mixed conditions, while powder skis provide flotation in deep snow.

Your ability level, height and weight also help determine which model and length suit you. Compare waist width—the width of the ski under your boot—to better understand the terrain each model is designed for.

Some skis come with bindings; others are sold without them. Check the product descriptions to confirm what’s included and ensure your skis, boots and bindings are compatible. Round out your setup with ski poles and a ski helmet. For younger skiers, explore our junior collection.
