FAQs
What is the intended skill level for the Nova 6 skis?
These skis are designed for intermediate to advanced skiers looking for a responsive and forgiving ride on groomed slopes.
Are these skis suitable for powder?
While they can handle light powder, their primary design is for groomed terrain. For deep powder, skis with a wider waist width would be more appropriate.
How does the 'Active Flex' benefit the skier?
Active Flex provides a responsive feel, offering intuitive control and predictable turn initiation without being overly stiff or demanding.
What does 'Oversize Sidecut' mean for performance?
An Oversize Sidecut delivers more edge contact at slower speeds and a more engaging feel at higher speeds, leading to confident and predictable turn initiation.
How does the lightweight core impact skiing?
The 20% lighter core reduces overall ski weight, leading to increased agility and less fatigue during long days on the mountain.
Can I use these skis with any type of ski boot?
These skis are compatible with GripWalk (GW) boot soles, which are standard on most modern ski boots. Ensure your boots are compatible with GW bindings.
How should I maintain my Nova 6 skis?
Wipe them clean after each use, store them in a cool, dry place, and have them waxed and tuned periodically by a professional or with appropriate equipment.
Troubleshooting
Ski feels unstable at high speeds
Ensure bindings are correctly adjusted and that you are using an appropriate boot. The ski is optimized for intermediate speeds; excessive speed may exceed its design parameters.
Difficulty initiating turns
Verify that the boot and binding interface is clean and free of ice or snow. Ensure your boots are properly laced or fastened. The Active Flex is designed for intuitive control, so check for any external hindrances.
Edge grip is poor on icy surfaces
The skis may require edge sharpening. Consult a professional ski tuner or use a diamond file to touch up the edges. Ensure you are applying proper technique for icy conditions.
Topsheet is peeling or damaged
Minor damage can sometimes be addressed with specialized epoxy or tape, but significant peeling may compromise the ski's integrity. Contact the manufacturer or a ski shop for repair options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: After each use, wipe down the skis with a soft, dry cloth to remove moisture and debris. Store skis in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Inspect the topsheet for any damage and address minor scratches to maintain durability.
