Short Skis

Find the Right Short Skis for Your Style and Skill Level

Short skis are a fun and versatile alternative to classic alpine skis. They are easy to turn, forgiving of mistakes, and make it easier to play around on the slopes, in the park or off the regular runs. In this category, you’ll find carefully selected models suited for both beginners and more experienced skiers who want a playful approach to skiing.

The compact dimensions make short skis ideal if you want to get started quickly without lengthy technique courses or if you’re after an extra pair for tricks, carving at lower speeds or freestyle. They are also easy to transport and handle, making them perfect for short trips or as a supplement to your regular equipment. This also makes them a natural addition to a wider range of winter sports activities.

Key Choices: Length, Bindings, Safety and Use Scenarios

When choosing short skis, it’s mainly about matching the length, binding type and your skill level. Consider how and where you’ll primarily be skiing — whether that’s a family ski holiday, the snow park or as playful carving skis on the piste. If you’re also interested in snowboards, you can find inspiration for different riding styles and gear.

• Length: Short skis typically range between about 90 and 140 cm. Shorter models are more manoeuvrable and playful, while slightly longer ones offer more stability at higher speeds.
• Binding type: Some short skis come with integrated bindings, while others use standard alpine boots and bindings. Choose a setup that fits the boots you already have or plan for a complete matching setup.
• Skill level: Soft, flexible skis are ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers, while stiffer skis provide more edge grip and performance for advanced users.
• Use: Models with a wider waist and softer flex are great for playful riding and park use, whereas narrower skis with more edge contact are better suited for carving on the piste.
• Safety and control: Make sure the DIN value on your bindings is set correctly and choose a length that makes you feel confident with both braking and turning.
