The narrow brake is removed from the ski bindings and replaced with the new wide brake. Wider brakes for fat powder skis can often be purchased separately. We recommend that you choose a brake width that is no more than 15mm wider than the waist width of your ski. If your brakes are too wide they may drag when you put your skis on edge, especially on steeper terrain. If your brakes are too narrow they will not clear the edges of your skis and will not deploy properly when your ski comes off. Your skis’ waist width will determine the ski brake width (the distance between the two brake arms).įor example, if your skis are 80mm wide at the waist, you will need bindings with a brake width of at least 80 mm and preferably no wider than 95 mm. Ski brakes are designed to stop your skis after release so you can retrieve them quickly and so they don't pose a danger to other skiers. The arms attached to the heel piece of your ski bindings that stick out on the side of your ski are called brakes.
