Skis

Backcountry skis are purpose-built for off-piste exploration and adventure in unpatrolled, untamed terrain. These skis differ significantly from their alpine counterparts, featuring a wider profile, lightweight construction, and often a pronounced rocker shape, which enables better floatation in deep powder and enhanced maneuverability on variable snow conditions. Backcountry skis typically come with reinforced bindings or inserts to accommodate alpine touring or telemark bindings, allowing skiers to ascend slopes with a free heel for climbing and secure their heel for precise control during the descent. The versatile design of backcountry skis makes them ideal for navigating remote and challenging terrain, offering skiers the freedom to explore the pristine beauty of the backcountry, away from crowded resorts and groomed trails, while providing the performance and durability needed to tackle varied conditions.
