Description

Touring skis Trace 98

The Trace 98 is the everyday ski for off-piste outings. Its construction made from caruba wood allows it to weigh only 1,475 grams per ski in size 164, which makes it quite light during the touring phase. However, with 98 mm on the waist width and a flex offering stability and recovery, there's lots to enjoy on the descents.

What is the programme for the Armada Trace 98 women's touring ski?

The Trace 98 is a ski with an intermediate waist width, which provides flotation on the descent while keeping the ski reasonably light on the ascent. It allows you to take advantage of the beautiful snow conditions off-piste and when the powder depth is really deep, the front rocker will be there to help you get out of the snow. On mixed and hard snows, you will find a fairly precise and stable ski, thanks to its rocker/classical chamber/flat heel profile. The flex is tonic while allowing you to maintain comfort in the supports. In the end, we find a ski that can be steered well and allows you to put rhythm in the descents in a wide variety of conditions and which does not weigh too much for the hikers.

Who is the Armada Trace 98 touring ski for?

This model is designed for experienced to expert freeskiers who like to ski in beautiful snow conditions away from the slopes. If you like to go skiing off the beaten track as soon as conditions allow, the Trace 98 will accompany you on your way up and down. It can even be mounted with alpine bindings for a skier looking for lightness and playability in powder.

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?

What kind of skis should I buy ?

On glisshop.co.uk, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of products we sell. How can you find the right skis, which ones can suit your level, your style or your budget?

Your options:

1. The advanced search engine: You'll find it everywhere on our website, as a sidebar on our listing pages. It allows you to select conditions and refine your selection: brand, level, style, etc. When you select them, only the relevant products will show.

2. You can contact us on the 020 3129 3301: skis feature fine technologies and affect your safety. It is important to make sure that the skis you've selected will suit you. Call our landline and get in touch with our team for any questions regarding these products.

Do you fit the bindings on skis?

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

Are the skis ready to use?

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

Is the equipment under guarantee?

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
