Off-Piste Skis – for Freeriding, Powder, and Big Mountain Dreams
Off-piste skis are for those who want to leave the groomed slopes behind and experience the freedom of untouched snow. They are wider, more powerful, and built to float on top of loose snow. Whether you're chasing powder days in the Alps or seeking untouched turns in the Scandinavian mountains, you'll find a model that suits your riding style.
Unlike piste skis or all-mountain skis, off-piste skis are designed to provide maximum float and stability outside the groomed trails. The wider waist and generous rocker in the tip and tail allow the ski to "lift" on top of the snow. The result is a playful and controlled ride in both deep snow and varied terrain.
For Adventurers Who Want to Go Beyond the Boundaries
Off-piste skis are made for riders who seek that little bit extra. They perform in everything from fluffy powder to spring slush and wind-blown mountain sides. But widest isn't always best – the choice depends on where you ski and the type of snow you most often encounter.
-
In Scandinavia, with denser forests and shallower snow depths, a slightly narrower model (around 100–110 mm) is more suitable.
-
In the Alps or on powder trips abroad, it's often worth investing in a really wide ski (over 110 mm) for maximum float.
If you want a compromise between off-piste and piste, a wider all-mountain ski is often a good option.
What Distinguishes an Off-Piste Ski?
What sets an off-piste ski apart from other types is its shape and construction.
-
Width: Often over 110 mm underfoot to provide good float in loose snow.
-
Rocker: Upturned tip and tail that allows the ski to lift and turn more easily in soft snow.
-
Length: Off-piste skis are often chosen at your own height or slightly longer for better float and stability.
Many models also have lighter constructions to work well for ski touring, and can be combined with hybrid bindings or touring bindings for added versatility.
Off-Piste Skiing Requires the Right Equipment
The right skis are just the beginning. Safety is just as important. If you ski off-piste, you should always carry avalanche equipment – that is, transceiver, probe, and shovel – and preferably an avalanche backpack. It is also crucial that you know how to use the equipment in practice.
