Not unless you are a ski racer yourself, and were lucky enough to get top of the line equipment. World Cup skiers get the best race skis that their factory makes. They have many different pairs of the same type (downhill skis, for example) that they will test to see which are the fastest. Race skis are highly specialized and differ greatly from demo skis or skis that the public usually buys. You can see this reflected in the price. Race skis typically run $800-$1000 for the skis, not including bindings.
To race across snow, you can use sleds, sleighs, skis, or snow shoes.
NO! It really depends on what you need them for... I assume you don't race, so for free skiing they should be anywhere from your chin to your nose. If you go too long they are really hard to turn!
They use snowshoes to spread out their weight. Skis will also work.
In a straight line drag race a Bugatti, but around a track the mclaren because the bugatti is so heavy
Yes, but why would you? If a low fluoro wax is needed ... then use a low fuoro ... which is less expensive than mixing a non-fluoro one with a high fluoro one. I use the super expensive one's when racing, keep my race skis "prepped" with a high quality non-fluoro wax and only use the fluoro for a race. For my recreational skis they just have a quality non-fluoro wax on them.
I go skiing on a pro level, so I have the newest and most expensive equipment, and I paid $800 for my last skis. But of course, you don't need so expensive skis if you're just a regular sunday-skier.
"Les skis."
You can't get skis.
Skis and snowshoes spread a person's weight out so that they do not sink.
yes there are different skis for men and women the difference is the radius
Because if skis were short and round, they would be called "bicycles".
