Aidez-moi à choisir ma taille de ski

The choice of good ski size is very important for an optimal sliding experience. Several factors are to be considered when choosing the size of your skiing, such as: its size, his weight and the type of ski.

You will find below a table to guide you in the choice of your ski size, depending on your size. However, it is important to consider his Needs and places you ski.

Your size	Pionnier 104	Explo 96	Zigzag 92
5'3 ''/160 cm	164 cm	162 cm	-
5'5 ''/165 cm	164 - 172 cm	162 cm	-
5'7 ''/170 cm	172 cm	172 cm	-
5'9 ''/175 cm	180 cm	172 cm	177 cm
5'11 ''/180 cm	180 cm	182 cm	177 cm
6'1 ''/185 cm	188 cm	182 cm	177 cm
6'3 ''/190 cm	188 cm	182 cm	-

Why choose a longer ski?

Your ski experience level is advanced/expert
You like skiing quickly and enjoy high -speed stability
You like skiing aggressively
You are looking for a better flotation
You are heavier than average for your size
You think your current skis are too short
You ski on land with a lot of space

Why choose a shorter ski?

You are a beginner in alpine skiing
You favor agility to float
You ski more slowly / you want to start turns at low speed
You don't ski aggressively
You are lighter than the average for your size
You think your current skis are too long
You ski on narrow terrain

We suggest:

Pionnier 104	About the size of the person and a few cm more
Explo 96	About the size of the person and a few cm less
Zigzag 92	About the size of the skier

3P camber : Engaging, maneuverable ski at low speeds - a plus for low-angle terrain.

Sidewall semi-cap: This construction offers the same sustainability and the same crossroads as standard or "sandwich" construction, but with lower weight and better shock resistance. Unlike other manufacturers, our semi-cap construction includes a side wall over the entire length for complete protection.

Tail block : The tail of our skis is designed to keep your skins in place. In addition, it can be cut for better adjustment with your skin clip. So you can venture with confidence, even in the most difficult conditions.

Short radius for the width : allows you to initiate fast and energetic turns (perfect for tight couloirs). Very agile and playful ski.

Progressive rocker
Flex grip: Increased torsional stiffess for grip and stability.
Good ratio of rigidity and flexibility

Technical Specs

The poplar cores used in Ferreol skis come from sustainable forests. This means they are cut with the greatest respect for the environment. Selective cutting is carried out to improve forest regeneration. To minimize waste, the wood is assembled and travels less than 100 km before arriving at the manufacturing plant in Rimouski. Finally, poplar makes skis lighter and more resistant.

The titanal mounting plate is designed to face the most difficult conditions. It adds isotropic stiffness under the boot, which increases grip and stability on firm snow. In addition, its superior quality makes it possible to exceed the necessary safety standards.

Our polyamide topsheet is 50% bio-based, made up of 20% recycled materials and comes from castor oil. This makes our skis extremely durable and waterproof, which guarantees the longevity of our products. In addition, the graphics are digitally printed on this material, which reduces the environmental impact of our topsheet.

Although the fiberglass is not as stiff as carbon fiber, it is stronger. Strength is the capacity of a fiber not to break under the force of a load. This is why this fiber is the ideal choice when it comes to adding strength and sustainability to skis.

Carbon fiber has the perfect mechanical properties for the construction of high-end skis. It is also well suited to hiking skis, due to its excellent weigth/stiffness ratio. Carbon makes the ski light on the climb, but solid on the descent.

We use the Super Sap epoxy of Entropy Resins in all our skis. This epoxy is bio-based, which means that the materials used for its manufacture come from renewable organic matter. In addition, this epoxy offers the same performance as traditional resins, but with a lower environmental impact.

Life Cycle Assessment

In collaboration with an external environmental firm, we have analyzed each stage of the production of our skis to assess their environmental footprint.

LCA of the Explo

The Explo 96 has an average carbon footprint of 23.51 kgco2eq, which roughly corresponds to the carbon emissions produced by a small car over 124 km.

Carbon footprint of the materials of the Explo

In order to optimize its performance on firm snow while minimizing its weight, 2 carbon layers are used in the Explo. Although this increases its carbon footprint, this is partly offset by locally sourced poplar core from Bas-St-Laurent as well as the topsheet and the biosourced epoxy.
