Equipment

Ski equipment for alpine skiing and snowboarding

The right ski equipment is about safety, comfort and making your gear work together. At Roupéz Skidshop you will find accessories and equipment for skiing and snowboarding, from helmets and goggles to poles, back protectors and other gear for your days on the mountain.

Our range suits both beginners and those who spend much of the winter on snow. You will also find well known brands such as Atomic, Oakley, POC, Smith and many more.

What ski equipment do I need?

What you need depends on how and where you ski. Some items are essential for most skiers, while other equipment becomes relevant depending on your style and needs.

Our range includes:

• Ski helmets for women, men and kids in different models and fits.
• Ski goggles with different lenses for changing light and weather.
• Back protectors for when you want to add extra protection to your gear.
• Ski poles for piste, racing, freeride and ski touring.
• Ski bags for transporting and storing your equipment.
• Ski care for looking after your skis and preparing them for your next day on snow.

That way you can build your kit around the skiing you actually do.

Ski helmets, goggles and back protectors

A good ski helmet must above all fit properly. It should feel stable and comfortable without unnecessary pressure points. It is also a good idea to try your helmet together with your goggles so they work well as a pair.

The right goggles help you see better when light and weather change. Different lenses suit different conditions, and on some models you can swap the lens to match the weather.

A back protector should also sit close to your body and follow your back without restricting your movement. You can choose between vests with an integrated protector and models with adjustable straps.

Ski poles for different types of skiing

Poles are another important part of your ski equipment. The right length helps you keep a natural position and use your poles well while skiing.

Which model suits you also depends on how you will use it. A regular alpine pole differs from a race pole or a telescopic pole, for example. So choose both length and model based on how you ski.

For kids and younger skiers, we also carry junior poles in different lengths.

Equipment for different types of skiing

Your needs change depending on the kind of skiing you do. A piste skier does not need the same equipment as someone who races or goes ski touring.

For racing, for example, there are dedicated poles, helmets and protection. Ski touring and off piste skiing, on the other hand, place different demands on your gear. There, a backpack, telescopic poles and avalanche safety equipment can become key parts of your setup.

That is why we recommend choosing ski equipment based on where you actually ski and what you need.

Look after your ski equipment

Good equipment lasts longer when you take care of it. Dry your helmet, goggles and protection after a day on the mountain, for example. Then store them somewhere dry until your next ski day.

Your skis also need regular care. With the right waxing accessories and ski care you can handle basic maintenance at home. If your skis need more extensive service, you can bring them to our ski workshop instead.
