NZ's Best Selection of Skis

Thank the snow gods for ski designers who think outside the box, experiment with shape, and dream up innovative ways for us to get silly on skis. In other words, thank goodness for Eric Pollard. Brand new for the season are the Line Skis Outline Skis, coming in at 117mm underfoot and incorporating convex tips and tails that give a looser feel in deep snow making it super easy to throw sideways and slash a turn. With a symmetrical flex pattern and relatively centered stance, the Outline is perfect for the more freestyle inclined skier looking for an energetic, playful ski that floats like a champ, pivots on a dime, and loves being in the air.

FEATURES:

Early Rise: Tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack.

Rocker Profile: 15mm Tip / 3mm Camber / 15mm Tail

Symmetric Flex: The same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward & backward.

5-Cut Sidecut: Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.

Early Taper: The widest part of the sidecut begins tapering earlier in the tip and tail which reduces tail hook ups in powder.

Thin Tip: Super thin core & sidewall in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight & tip bounce.

Convex Base: Convex contouring across the tip and tail of the ski loosed the ski feel by increasing displacement - and creating a tip and tail more inclined to plane - for an added dimension of turn shape.

Partly Cloudy Core: A blend of lightweight Paulownia and Maple creating the best strength to weight ratio of Line's offerings.

Sidewall Construction: Ultra-high density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges to absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.

Like all seasoned vets, the Pescado Skis have the power to stop you in your tracks with power and finesse. Combining a distinctive swallowtail with monstrous 158mm shovels, there's nothing else quite like 'em. When the conditions are all time, there's nothing else you'd rather have under your feet. The unique design features of the Pescado skis help them take to deep pow like a fish to water; surfing, slashing, and porpoising effortlessly through the snow like a dolphin playing in the wake. If you think you've caught your "best day ever", you haven't ridden the Pescados yet.

 Making pizza on snow is harder than it looks! The Ski Teacher is simply a rubber tube with clips on each end that keep your child’s ski tips together. The reason? Keeping the ski tips together aids in teaching a wedge, essential in stopping.

A secondary use is for those young ones whose legs struggle to keep their skis together or under them. 

Elastic ski tips connection as a learning aid for ski students. Two anti-slip brackets are connected by a length-adjustable rubber rope.

• Ski aid - connection of the ski tips
• Two retaining clips with non-slip pad
• Adjustable length rubber rope.

• 4D Fibercap- Woven fiberglass on top of the core for added durability.
