Find the right touring ski in the HAGAN store using the filter properties
In our store, you can filter the touring ski models according to the features skill level, terrain and orientation. This means you no longer have to deal with technical details yourself - the right ski models are then simply displayed for you.
skill level:
Our touring ski models are categorized according to skill level from beginner to expert. Touring skis for beginners are more maneuverable and easier to control on the descent. In contrast, touring skis for experts are suitable for higher speeds and impress with their smoothness.
Terrain:
Particularly wide touring skis are better suited to off-piste skiing, while narrower skis are more suitable for the piste. In between, there are of course also numerous all-rounder models that are perfectly equipped for all snow conditions.
Orientation:
Some ski tourers want to achieve the best times on the ascent and therefore swear by particularly light touring skis. Others mainly want to enjoy the descent - this is where slightly heavier touring skis have advantages. Depending on where your personal focus lies, we offer you suitable models.
What technical info is relevant to me when buying?
If you want to take a closer look at the technical information when buying touring skis, you will find an overview here of what is relevant when choosing the right touring ski:
The waist with:
The wider the touring ski, the better it floats in deep or poor snow and is easier to ride. The disadvantage, however, is that a wide touring ski is also heavier. Narrow touring skis, on the other hand, are suitable for fast ascents or high alpine adventures. waist with touring skis have all-rounder qualities - they are light enough on the ascent and are still easy to control on the descent.
The length:
Depending on the terrain and skill level , there are different recommendations for the length of touring skis. If you are a good skier and ski a lot of off-piste terrain, you can go for a slightly longer ski - body height or slightly longer. However, if you are an average skier, you will never go wrong with a touring ski that is between chin and nose height. The length is an advantage both on the ascent and descent and supports you.
The radius:
The larger the radius of your touring ski, the larger the turns your ski is suitable for. This means: if you tend to be slower downhill, a ski with a smaller radius is more suitable; if you tend to be faster, a ski with a larger radius is more suitable.
Rocker:
At HAGAN, we differentiate between the Freeride, Allmountain and Race Rocker types. Touring skis with freeride rocker are the most curved at the tip and tail of the ski and therefore ensure a particularly good upturn in powder. As an all-rounder, the all-mountain rocker is slightly less curved. Race Rockers have been specially optimized for fast ascents.
Weight:
The lighter the touring ski, the more uphill-oriented it is. Heavier touring skis have a higher downhill performance, but carry more weight uphill.
So before choosing the right touring ski, you should think about it: Is a fast ascent or a powder descent important to me? How good am I on skis? What do I value in a touring ski?
