Freestyle
Freestyle skis are skis designed for tricks, jumps, and creative skiing—mostly in terrain parks, halfpipes, or off small natural features. They're the go-to choice for skiers who like to spin, flip, slide rails, or just have a playful, buttery style.
In Simple Terms:
Freestyle skis = trick skis. Think park, jumps, rails, switch skiing, and playing around the mountain with style.
Key Features of Freestyle Skis:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Twin tips | Both tips and tails curve upward so you can ski switch (backward) easily |
| Symmetrical or semi-symmetrical shape | Helps with spinning and landing switch |
| Flex | Softer flex for pop and forgiveness during landings |
| Lightweight | Easier to maneuver in the air or spin |
| Durable edges | Reinforced to withstand rail impacts |
