EQUIPMENT ADVICE: SKIS 25-26

 

GET READY FOR YOUR COURSE

It’s vital that you have the right skis for the type of skiing you will be doing on your course.

That means a ski that really delivers on piste – but also something that allows you the versatility to ski variable and bumps.

So, for the 2025-26 season what does that look like? Here are some of the main options.

But remember – there are loads of skis out there, just because a ski isn’t on this list doesn’t mean they aren’t good for your course.
