What is piste skiing?

Piste skiing takes place exclusively on groomed runs maintained by ski resorts. These resorts design, maintain and secure the slopes in winter. They are accessible via ski lifts, including cable cars, gondolas, chairlifts and drag lifts.

At a ski resort, each run is colour-coded according to its difficulty level:

The green run is considered the easiest. It is suited to those learning to ski.
The blue run, easy to intermediate, is suited to beginner skiers.
The red run is for confident, experienced skiers.
The black run, the most difficult, is tackled by advanced skiers who take advantage of a steep gradient to build up speed.

How to kit yourself out for piste skiing?

Ski shoes

Ski shoes can be more or less rigid depending on your ability level. The degree of stiffness is measured using an index called Flex. The higher the Flex, the stiffer the shoe, delivering greater precision and control to the skier. For beginners, it is advisable to opt for more flexible shoes.

Skis

Piste skis are short and fairly narrow, ensuring good grip on hard snow and providing a certain level of responsiveness.

Poles

Piste ski poles have the distinctive feature of small baskets. On flat terrain, ski poles let you move forward by pushing down on them with your arms. On descents, poles help you maintain balance.

Helmet and goggles

Skiing is not without its risks, so wearing a helmet is strongly recommended. And where there's a helmet, there's goggles. Highly recommended, they offer effective protection against cold, wind and sun, while improving your vision.

Gloves

A piste skier will opt for a pair of gloves with a good grip, which is essential for your alpine skiing gloves as pole use is frequent in this discipline. Look first and foremost for gloves that are breathable, waterproof and provide optimal warmth.

What to wear for piste skiing?

Start with a technical base layer that wicks moisture away from your skin. Opt for thermal base layers in synthetic fabric or merino wool to keep your body dry and warm. Then add a mid layer consisting of a technical ski fleece to protect you from the cold. A fleece jacket or pullover is a great choice, offering good thermal insulation while remaining breathable. The outer layer should be a waterproof and breathable ski jacket to shield you from the elements such as snow, wind and rain.

Make sure the jacket also has good insulation to keep you warm. For the technical ski trousers, it must be warm, breathable and waterproof. Integrated gaiters are a welcome feature, and zip ventilation along the thighs is often appreciated. Reinforcements at the knees and seat add durability. Use specific ski socks that provide good thermal insulation and wick away moisture to keep your feet dry and warm.
