Carving skis

Carving skis are made for days on groomed runs, where the aim is a clean, precise turn. Most are narrower than 80 mm underfoot, so they move quickly from edge to edge. Some are shaped for short, tight turns and others for long, fast arcs. We look for layers of Titanal, steel or carbon that provide torsional stiffness, as any twist under pressure can let the edge slip on ice. We favor durable topsheets where the material itself is the finish, such as engraved stainless steel and satin carbon.
