Are twin tip ski's slower?

Do twin tip skis feel different than downhill skis?

  • I am a fairly advanced skier and I have been skiing on regular downhill skis my whole life. However, a lot of my friends have twin tips and I want to give them a try. Do they ride ...show more

  • Answer:

    Just like any ski, they will have a little different feel and a different turn radius than you are used to. But twin tips are not harder or easier to ski on, just a pair of skis with the back turned up for switch skiing.

I ski race and i have a pair of twinnies and what ive found is that they are much softer (less stiff) so then easier to turn. you can use twinnies anywhere that's the great thing about them, you can go on piste or off and in jump parks.

Well its kind of fun to ski in front of your friends with them and kick up snow in their faces. You should be fine transitioning over. I prefer them because of the way they grip the hill when you turn.

They may feel slightly different, but you should get used to then soon. if you have been using downhill skis for your life then i suggest you keep using them, unless you do freestyle. but its up to yourself. hope this helps
