Skimo Racing Skis

For those not immersed in the fast and occasionally ruthless world of skimo racing, this category of ski can look confusingly similar across brands. The reason is simple: the International Ski Mountaineering Federation sets minimum dimensions and equipment standards for competition, so race skis end up being very close in size and shape.

Where they differ is in the details. Small variations in construction, flex and weight distribution make each model feel distinct on snow.

If you’re curious about the nuances, or about the Lycra-clad corner of the ski world that obsesses over them, feel free to ask one of our resident skimo enthusiasts in store. They’ll happily explain.
