Buying Guide

How do we select the best skiing and snowboarding gear?

Our process for selecting the best winter sports gears is inclusive of elements such as:

1-Gender:

Even though the gears designed for men and women might look particularly similar, there is a massive difference between the two. Our review our gears as per fit, comfort, and flexibility catered for the two genders. 

2-Category:

Under this option, we check whether these gears have been built for use in the local basic level mountains or the higher expert level mountains. We categorize them on the basis of the application for all-mountain, carving skis & snowboards, powder skiing, big mountain, and many more. 

3-Base Layers:

A base layer is critical to ensure proper warmth and better functionality of the upper add-on layers. Winter sports require you to be warm to function perfectly. We ensure that the base layers reviewed by us are perfect for use in the chilling mountain winds. 

4-Mid Layers:

Layering is the key to a comfortable day out on the mountains. We categorize the mid-layers as per the materials used and whether they are lightweight, medium, or heavyweight. We also make sure that the mid-layers avoid the seepage of cold wind to the base layers. 

5-Outer Layers:

Another thing considered by our reviewers for proper skiing experience is the outer layer added to your skiing or snowboarding clothes. We check whether the layers are breathable and water-resistant. We also check if the clothes allow mobility and keep the snow away from the inner layers.

6-Price:

Whether you are looking for cheap and affordable options or high-quality gears, we ensure that all the options reviewed by us are of top-quality, even at a reasonable price. We ensure that any issue in the quality and make is pointed out for the readers.

7-Versatility: 

The condition of the snow and the weather in the mountains can vary with the seasons. Even during winters, you can experience a range of temperature variations. This is why our team checks for the versatility of the gears to be completely functional regardless of the temperature outside. You surely wouldn’t want a gear that works in a sunny, winter morning but fails to function with temperature going down. 

8-Material:

Now, you would definitely want your gears to last for long, right? At Skiing lovers, we check for the sturdiness of the material and the gear’s built to ensure that your investment stays by your side for years to come.

Skiing/Snowboarding Knowledge base

1-What is meant by the colors and signs in the ski or snowboarding trails?

The colors and signs placed in the ski trail are meant to categorize the difficulty level of the area. If you have just started exploring winter sports, it is best to stick with the green-marked runs. On the other hand, advanced skiers can comfortably explore the black routes for testing their skills.

• Green Circle-Beginner

• Blue Squares-Intermediate

• Black Diamond-Difficult

• Double Black Diamonds- Experts Only

2-How can I make skiing less expensive?

Yes, skiing can be an expensive form of winter sports. However, with our help, you can make it worth the investment. We help you pick the best and most appropriate gears from the list of products reviewed by us. Opting for a gear that will last you for years to come without any breakage is worth the extra few dollars you spend on it. You can surely go for the budget versions if you do not need gears for long term. However, skiing can be a fascinating sport, and you never know when you might need your gears for another run on the white trails. So, it is better to opt for the gears that stay with you for the long term.

3-What is the difference between skinny and fat skis? Which one is best suited for me?

The kind of ski you need to buy depends on the trails you want to use them on. There are three factors that need to be considered when purchasing a ski:

• Width under your foot

• Turning Radius

• Length of the ski

If you are someone looking forward to powder skiing, fat skis are designed for you. However, for the groomers or new skiers, skinnier skis tend to be an ideal option. Whether a ski is skinny or fat is decided by the width of the same under the foot. 

4-Which sport is easier to grasp for a beginner?

When it comes to skiing vs. Snowboarding, the entire thing comes down to one’s preference. While some love to master the skis, other love maneuvering the snowboards. However, if it is your very first day on the snow, both these winter sports will feel equally tricky. There is no telling with certainty which sports will seem easier to you. As per my personal preference, skiing comes easier to me as opposed to snowboarding but to each their own. You might come out as a snowboarding genius, who knows? You need to try things first to understand!

5-How much will an average skiing or snowboarding trip cost me?

The price you pay for your skiing or snowboarding trip will vary depending upon the factors such as:

• County you visit

• Hotel or resort you book

• Ski lessons (if you plan on taking one)

• Lift passes

• Food and Drink

• Duration of your stay

However, if you are on a budget with a motive that is just to experience the mountains, it is advised that you go for an average hotel rather than going for an expensive resort. This can heavily trim down your entire expense and help you save a lot. 

6-Which season or month is the best to go out for a skiing/snowboarding trip?

Depending on where you want to visit, the months and timings can change. If you plan on visiting the famous European Alps, they are usually good to go from December till April. However, the entire thing depends on how the weather behaves on a certain day. So, when planning your skiing trip, it is advised that you keep track of the local weather for a week or so. Subscribe to weather reports so as to be on alert for any snowstorms that might occur during your trip.
