Binding Questions

Does TTW mount bindings to skis ordered online?

For your safety TTW does NOT mount bindings to skis, for the reason that boots are required for accurate mounting. Mounting a binding is a critical process and it is important to get all specifics about your skiing before a binding is mounted. Please contact your local ski shop to have a binding mounted.

Ski Questions

How do I know what size ski is right for me?

Keep in mind twin tip ski have extra length at the tail than a regular directional skis. A 170 twin tip will appear longer than a 170 directional ski because of this. The ski length is determined by the amount of contact with the snow, the effective edge. Where as the proper ski is determined on a number of factors:

1: Riders Weight

2: Riders Height

3: Riders Ability Level

4: Riders Terrain

As a general rule, a twin tip ski should be just over the riders head. However is not always the case in all circumstances. Feel free to contact us anytime and we will gladly help you determine what ski size is best for you. 1-800-807-7140. -TTW

What is the best width of a ski to get?

The width of a ski is best determined on the type of snow you are riding on. A narrower ski will be snappier in the turns, It will feel quicker going from one edge to the other, because there is less surface to move. This is better for hard pack groomers, however a narrow ski will not perform well in deep snow. On the other hand most skis are getting wider for a number of reasons. A wider ski gives you more versatility on all terrain allowing you to still carve hard on groomers and float in fresh snow. Also in park and pipe skis a wider base gives more stability for grinding rails and more forgiveness when landing big jumps.

What are the differences between each category of twin tip skis?

All mountain Skis: Have a mid wide width, with a slightly set back binding mounting position, or optional binding mounting positions. This gives you the best versatility all over the mountain. These skis will perform well on groomers, fresh snow, and bumps. These skis can have stiffer flexes which will allow a more experienced rider to get the most out of the mountain.

Backcountry Skis: Have a wider than average width, with a set back stance to put more weight over than tail of the ski and get the nose to float over the fresh snow. Also you may notice a narrower tail and wider tip to create the same effect. These skis may have a softer flex or reverse camber to aid the float of the ski in the back country. These skis will perform best in fresh snow and can be ridden on packed snow as well.

Park and Pipe Skis: The name says it all, when throwing down in the park or in the pipe or on big booters these skis will kill it all day. These skis have a mid to wide base to help give balance on rails and boxes, and also helps stomp those big landings. These skis will have either center mounted binding positions or optional center mounting. Center mounted bindings give you the best possible position on the ski to ride forward or backward, and center your balance on all jibs. Do not be afraid to ride a center mount ski you can still tear up the whole mountain with these skis, but will be easier to throw down in the park.
