Touring skis for fitness tend to be lighter, narrower and therefore more ascent oriented. They often have a weight-optimized construction, are less torsionally stiff and therefore require a better skiing technique in rough, extremely hard snow. Due to their low weight, they are less smooth and not suitable for high speed.
Alpine touring skis in the mountaineering category are classic all-rounders. With a width of approx. 90 mm under the binding, relatively low weight and good agility, they combine the joys of ascent and descent.
Freeride touring skis are designed for a strong downhill performance in all snow conditions. With 90 to 110 mm waist width and a stiffer construction, they offer optimal support downhill and plenty of lift in deep snow.
