WHAT IS THE CAMBER?

When placing a ski on the ground, its points of contact are found near the tip and tail, whereas the middle of the ski (under the bindings) is slightly raised. This is the camber. The longer and higher the camber, the greater the grip and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving and manoeuvrable the ski.

WHAT IS A ROCKER?

On a "rocker" ski, the tip, and sometimes the tail, comes off the ground sooner than with a cambered ski: this moves the points of contact towards the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened and offers manoeuvrability and lift in soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.

OUR AFTER-SKI ADVICE

After a long day skiing, this is what you need to do to guarantee your ski's long life:

* Wipe your edges with a cloth at the end of the day to prevent rusting.

* Use riptab ski ties to prevent the soles from rubbing against each other.

* Store your skis in a dry place and away from sunlight.
