What is freeride alpine skiing?

Freeride alpine skiing is a category of alpine skiing designed for off-piste skiing . Unlike traditional alpine skiing, freeriding takes place on unprepared terrain: powder, glades, and untouched slopes. It emphasizes freedom of movement, creativity, and a connection with the mountain.

Freeride skis are wider than piste skis to offer better float in deep snow and increased stability at high speeds . They sometimes have a rocker profile (raised tip) to help them "surf" powder better.

At Le Pédalier, this category of freeride alpine skis includes the best models of the moment , chosen for their versatility and performance on the varied terrains of Quebec.

What are the advantages of freeride alpine skiing?

Freeride skiing combines the power of alpine skiing with the flexibility and stability needed to adapt to changing off-piste mountain conditions.

Thanks to their wide waist and sometimes their tip/tail rocker, freeride skis offer excellent float in powder and smooth handling on rough terrain. Their design allows you to switch between groomed runs and deep snow without compromising control.

This versatility makes freeride alpine skiing a perfect option for intermediate to expert skiers looking for both adrenaline and versatility.

How to choose your freeride skis?

Choosing your freeride skis depends on several criteria : your skill level, snow conditions, and the terrain you prefer.

If you are an intermediate skier looking to progress, skis with a wide tip and wider waist will offer better float in powder while remaining maneuverable on groomed slopes.

The double rocker and the width of the ski ensure superior stability and control, even in the most challenging off-piste conditions.

Wider freeride skis, such as the Elan Ripstick model, are ideal for expert skiers looking for great versatility and skis capable of performing on all types of terrain, from groomed slopes to glades.
