Slalom ski
Skis designed for short radius and sudden turns at lower speeds on well prepared
and hard surface. Short radius of turns (between 9-15m) is achieved thanks to deep
side-cut. Aggressive attacking slalom poles is possible due to hard ski structure
combined with high resilience which allows racer to use an energy built up in the
ski to switch the ski edge when taking the next turn. Ski energy comprises a significant
factor having an influence on the time of competitor reaction and the choice of
the best trajectory.
