Waxed and sharpened skis, ready to use. Edge sharpened at 89°.
What is an arch?
When placing a ski on the ground, the ski points of contact on the ground are found near the tip and heel whereas the middle of the ski (under the attachments) is slightly raised (this is the arch). The longer and higher the arch, the more high-impact and responsive the ski. The longer the rocker, the more manageable the ski.
What is a rocker?
On a rocker ski, the tip (and sometimes the heel) come off the ground well before the ski arch. This shifts the points of contact towards the centre of the ski. The ski surface in contact with the snow immediately provides manoeuvrability and ease of handling on soft snow: you will enjoy greater manoeuvrability and load capacity on soft snow. When taking corners, the edge length provides grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the more manageable the ski.
Ski style
Front on-piste rocker facilitating approach to turns. High edge for good grip on hard snow.
