How to choose your touring ski set ?
Focus on lightweight
When touring, you spend some time on the downhill and even more time ascending. Considering you’re carrying a pair of skis, of boots, of poles, a backpack and more, the weight of your gear is extremely important as it can slow you down and wear yourself out quickly.
Weight is the main issue for a tourer and the real deal is how to get the best performance and keep the weight as low as possible. This is when you need to analyse your goals. If your tours are generally one day long and not too steep, then you can focus on downhill performance. However, if touring means to you a 4-day trip with high summits, then lightweight needs to be first on your list.
Choose the profile of your ski
Avoid fat skis cause they are way too heavy. Mid-fat skis do a good job if you are into free-touring. These skis often feature a rockered tip and a waist width around 100mm, which ensures optimal performance on powder snow. That kind of ski is pretty heavy though, it’s a good pick for short tours.
To the opposite, ultra-light skis (less than 2.6kg / pair) will make the ascent effortless but won’t perform so well on the downhill, unless you are an expert skier. Their sidecuts and lightweight make them quite difficult to control at high speed and not so stable. Same on powder where the skis won’t excel. This kind of skis is recommended for long tours (several days) or for shorter tours with big ascents.
Fortunately, there is an in-between, skis suited for a more recreational use. With widths sizing from 75mm to 90mm and an average weight of 3kg, a slightly rockered tip and a woodcore, these allround touring skis deliver good downhill performance and decent lightweight.
And more :
