To make the right choice, you need to decide on your personal requirements and carefully study the technical characteristics of the equipment. You need to buy skis depending on the style in which you are going to ski, the level of training also affects. When it comes to a beginner athlete, it is important to make sure that the equipment is reliable and easy to use, so you can consider the Snowscape series, which is presented in a shortened size, but the width is good, so it is easy to operate. Experienced athletes need efficiency, that is, good maneuverability, the ability to quickly respond to turns, moving from one to the next.

The material from which the core is made directly determines the performance of the product. If you are going to be racing, pay attention to the sliding surface and adjust the deflection accordingly. The next step is the choice of the athlete's height and weight, as well as his level of training. The stiffness of the ski depends on the length, therefore it is recommended to use weight tables.

There are two fastening systems that are most in demand from manufacturers. The SALOMON company became the developer of one of them - this is SNS. The installation method may differ, but the requirements remain the same. The main task is to provide comfortable and reliable control of equipment and increase the maneuverability of movement. The mount should firmly connect the skis and boot. Place the bindings facing the floor to find the center of gravity, then place the ski perpendicularly on top until balance is achieved. Equipment like SNS has a transverse groove to fix the metal shaft of the boot. It should be aligned with the center of gravity point.

The middle element is inserted into the groove, the lower part should coincide with the middle of the rod. You will need to press down on the bracket to move the latch inward. Have a thick screwdriver handy to keep the latch in place. Fold back the brackets to gain access to the screw. Since most Salomon models already have holes, no drill is needed and this will make the job easier. Return the bracket to its place by inserting it into the hinge and push firmly until you hear a click.
