Ortovox Ski Equipment

Ski equipment is gear used for skiing, including skis, boots, bindings, poles, helmets, and goggles. Choosing the right ski equipment depends on your skill level and skiing style. Beginners might prefer all-mountain skis for versatility, while advanced skiers may opt for specialized gear like race skis or powder skis.

Ski equipment is sized based on your height, weight, and skiing ability. Generally, skis should reach between your chin and the top of your head. Shorter skis are easier to control for beginners, while longer skis offer stability at higher speeds for experienced skiers.

Ski equipment includes poles that assist with balance and rhythm. The correct pole length is crucial; hold a pole upside down with the grip on the ground—your arm should form a 90-degree angle at the elbow. Lightweight materials like aluminum or carbon fiber enhance performance.

Ski equipment includes helmets which are essential for safety. Helmets protect against head injuries and should fit comfortably without tilting forward or backward. Look for models with adjustable vents and liners to maintain comfort in varying weather conditions.

Ski equipment includes goggles that protect your eyes from UV rays and improve visibility. Choose goggles with anti-fog lenses and UV protection. The lens tint affects vision; darker tints suit bright conditions, while lighter tints work better in low light or cloudy weather.
