Finding the Right Skis

Your physical build is certainly an important factor when choosing skis to hire or buy. Height and weight play a particularly important role. Taller people will generally tend towards longer skis, while shorter people are more likely to use shorter skis. In most cases, a stiffer ski should be chosen for a higher body weight.

Skiing ability also plays a key role when hiring or buying skis. There is a difference between skiing at an advanced level for years and being a beginner. Depending on your ability, ski length, stiffness, turning radius, torsional stiffness and construction need to be adjusted. A well-made ski with high-quality materials offers major advantages at every ability level.

Not familiar with these terms? No problem. Our qualified and trained staff at Scheiber Sport will be happy to help you choose the right skis.

Piste conditions are another factor that influences your choice when hiring or buying skis. Whether there is fresh snow or the pistes are hard, you are sure to find the right skis for the current conditions at Scheiber Sport. And if conditions change during the week, simply visit one of our 4 sports shops with ski hire.

There, you can exchange your skis for another pair. It doesn’t matter which of our shops you visit, as your details can be accessed at each of the 4 branches offering ski hire. All branches are also located directly on the piste, making a ski exchange quick and easy.

Your choice of skis also depends on your preferred type of turn. Short turns, long turns, skidded turns or carved turns – how do you prefer to ski on the piste? We have the right skis for every style of turn.

By the way: powder enthusiasts are also guaranteed to find the right skis at Scheiber Sport. Our special backcountry models are wider than regular piste skis and provide flowing descents off-piste.

Some skis require more strength to use than others. When hiring or buying skis, you should therefore choose a pair that suits your physical fitness. We will be happy to advise you at our 4 locations on the piste and help you find the right skis for your fitness level. Our range also includes special women’s skis (“Lady Carver”) as well as skis for teenagers and children.

At Scheiber Sport, you can test any skis before buying them, and all hire skis can be exchanged as often as you wish. This can make choosing the right skis much easier. The location of our branches close to the pistes helps make ski exchanges quick and easy.

For many skiers, the design of a ski is an important factor when making their choice. However, it should be given considerably less importance than the other criteria, as it provides no practical support when skiing. At Scheiber Sport, you will always find the latest models from leading brands in the ski industry.
