In summary
Have you mastered the basics and want to pick up the pace on all types of runs?

Renting Red range skis for adult skiers
All our Ekosport-Rent resort shops offer several alpine ski categories for adults. There are Blue skis for beginners, Black skis for advanced skiers, as well as Diamond and Premium skis for experts. For intermediate skiers, Red skis offer the perfect balance! The range includes both men's and women's versions in multiple lengths to match the specific needs of every body type.
How do you know if this category is right for you? Red skis are generally recommended for those who have skied before, master the fundamentals of skiing (speed control, turning, carving, braking, and stopping), and can comfortably ski on green, blue, and red runs. If this sounds like you, but you still require skis that are sufficiently easy to handle, stable, and versatile, then these adult Red skis are designed for you.
Note that after booking online, our in-store team can present you with different models featuring distinct characteristics during pickup, tailored to your preferences, riding style, skill level, and current snow conditions.
This might include 100% piste alpine skis for groomed snow, or all-mountain-oriented skis to explore off-piste powder zones. And as you continue to progress and want to tackle untracked snow, you can eventually transition to wider freeride skis!
Intermediate skis for children and teens
If you are coming as a family and looking for intermediate skis for your children, the Red range is also the ideal choice. They are perfect for continuing to learn and developing all the technical skills needed to become a true champion. These should be reserved for young skiers who already have some experience, even if they are still taking lessons with an instructor or in a ski club. Certain models are also well suited for your budding skier's first races.
Be sure to select alpine skis in the appropriate age and size category for your child: Junior skis for 7–12 year-olds under 1.60 m tall, and Teen skis for 13–17 year-olds. Once your rental is booked, our in-store skimen will provide expert advice and insights to help you find the perfect pair of skis and boots.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Red range skis
-
Who exactly is the Red range designed for?
The Red range is ideal for skiers who link parallel turns with ease on blue slopes and are starting to tackle red runs. If you are looking for equipment that helps you progress, allows you to safely increase your speed, and offers better edge grip without being too physically demanding, this range is made for you.
-
What is the difference between Blue range and Red range skis?
Blue range skis prioritize softness and easy pivoting at low speeds to forgive mistakes. Red range skis feature a punchier, more responsive structure (often reinforced) and grippier edges, providing greater stability at medium to high speeds and allowing for cleaner carved turns on hardpack snow.
-
How do I choose the right ski length in the Red range?
For versatile all-mountain or piste skiing, choose a length between 5 cm and 10 cm below your height. If you prefer short, quick turns and maximum maneuverability, opt for a shorter length (-10 cm). If you enjoy wide, sweeping turns, speed, and stability, select a length closer to -5 cm relative to your height.
