Ski Review 2019/2020: Men's Touring Skis 2 - 87 to 95 mm

Those in search of skiing adventures far off from crowded groomed slopes will love our second category of Men's touring skis. The balanced touring models all achieved good or very good scores in our rankings and offer a perfect balance between a pleasant way up and an exciting way down the hill.

>> To the Ski Review Men's Touring Skis 2 for the season 2021/2022

Ideal off-piste ascents and descents

To explore the terrain off the beaten track, you'll need avalanche equipment and the right material under your feet. This is where the Men's touring skis of category 2 come into play.

With widths ranging between 87 and 95 millimeters, the skis form resembles that of classic all round models. They are much lighter, however, making long uphill routes much easier. The models tested in the Innerkrems not only convinced us with their ascent characteristics, they also showed their quality during the way back down.

Target group: All mountain freaks and freeriders among ski mountaineers
