Freeride skis are usually wider and have a larger turn radius than all-terrain skis. This means that they may struggle in hard snow conditions and won’t carve as easily. Freeride skis are made for off-trail skiing and may not have a tremendous on-piste performance like an all-mountain ski.
All-terrain skis have a narrower waist and a shorter turn radius than freeride skis. They will excel at skiing hard snow conditions and carving groomed snow. In addition, they work well both on and off the piste, making them the best choice for riders who like to try different types of skiing.
