Skis

Resort vs Backcountry vs Resort / Backcountry

• Resort - Heavier, handle variable conditions better

• Backcountry - Lighter, not as capable in variable conditions

• Backcountry / Resort - Able to handle variable snow well but also light enough that ski touring isn't too painful

Width

• Below 95mm - Touring focus, spring skiing, traverses, firm snow to shallow powder

• 95-106mm - Daily driver, all mountain, most snow conditions

• 106mm+ - Powder focused, deepest days

Construction & Weight

• Less than 1500g (backcountry) - Lighter materials with less wood and more carbon/foam. More of these lighter materials means it doesn't perform as well (chatter) in variable conditions.

• More than 1500g (backcountry/resort) - Heavier materials with more wood. Wood provides dampening properties for variable condition performance.
