On the hunt for the "funnest" skis on the slopes? Hitting every bump and roller you can find? A pair of Twin Tip skis are a great addition to your ski arsenal. With increased rocker in the tip and tail, twin tip skis allow for a versatile, playful approach to the mountain.
Originally focused on freestyle and park skiing, twin tips skis have evolved to a much broader category with offerings available for a multitude of different ski styles and ability levels. Twin tip skis with a waist width on the narrower side (around 90-95mm) are much more focused on park skiing, rails, and hitting jumps. Wider twin tip skis sitting in the 95-105mm range provide added versatility and can be used for all-mountain skiing, allowing you to hit the mountain like its one giant terrain park. Going for wider options over 105mm starts to blur the line between twin tip skis and powder specific skis.
We recommend sticking to narrower twin tip skis for improved performance and consistency if you are typically riding on firm snow, as these skis will provide added edge contact whilst allowing for some playful skiing. If you are looking for maximum versatility, and chasing a surfy, loose feeling for your skiing, checking out 95-105mm mid-fat twin tips will give you that fluid forgiving feeling across terrain.
