Movement's all-conditions piste ski doesn't disappoint and continues to be a strong ski in the Movement Skis line-up. A 75mm waist with a generous tip and tail make this versatile across all snow conditions whether hard packed snow or spring slush.
The YAKA has been an important part of the range for a number of years, and continues to grow in popularity. Its adaptability allows it to be used on all types of snow, while excelling on hard-pack under high edge pressure. The wide tips absorb shock and vibration with ease. Very stable and controllable at high-speed.

OUR OPINION
A really easy going ski when you want to cruise, this comes to life when you drive it onto it's edges and take advantage of the Powerail core construction, where it then sweeps you through the turn. This is a relatively light weight ski adding further to its versatility, and will pop up in the powder should it be a blue ski & powder day, but on piste, in all conditions is where the Yaka belongs. A real pleasure to ski.
IS IT FOR ME?
For the advancing piste skier who wants to go for a lightweight set up without losing edge grip, and is looking for an alternative to the big brands. It has been a best seller in their range for several seasons for a good reason, it is a very adept all-condiitons ski.
Here is a handy reference chart to give you an indication of your correct ski size. Remember that this chart is just a starting guide. If you have rented a ski length recently and found that this suited you, do NOT be afraid to select that size if it differs from the above - Length is a personal thing!
This should be enough to help direct you to the ski for you, but if you need more help just contact us here at Edge & Wax.
Next we need to adjust the length to match your ability:
Decide on your ski level using the above chart, and then make the following adjustments:

* Skis are sent to our workshop prior to shipping for correct set-up, waxing and packing, therefore we cannot offer a next day service on skis. Priority shipping does however move your order to the front of the workshop queue for priority set-up.
** Not Available to Scottish Highlands & Islands
 Please Note: Priority shipping orders need to be received by 12:30pm Monday-Thursday for a next working day delivery on in stock items. Orders placed on Saturday or Sunday using priority shipping will be shipped on the following Monday. Our couriers and Royal Mail do NOT collect from us on Saturday or Sunday. For a Saturday delivery please contact us.
 Snowpulse bags, due to the nature of the gas canister in this system, we cannot ship internationally at our standard pricing, as a dangerous goods agent is required to prepare the shipment. In these cases we will contact you with a revised cost before proceeding with the order.

Ski Buying Guide
There is a lot of information on the web, in magazines, and from friends on how to choose the right skis, and of course the correct length.
We were there once, buying our first pair. It's a big investment, but the payback if you choose the right skis is amazing; retail skis are superior to rental skis, only you have used them so they will last a lot longer, and you can also gain valuable ski time on the mountain not having to get into the ski and boot rental queue.
We have broken our guide into two sections - Skis 101, a breakdown of what a ski actually is, all the geeky words used, and what they really mean to you. And then we have the Ski Buyers Guide below, to help guide you through your ski purchase.
We hope you find both of these guides useful, and remember, we are only a phone-call, email or short trip away if you need further advice on your purchase. If you are buying skis, we are here to help!
Buying Skis
Step 1 - Which Type Of Ski?
The first step in buying your own skis, is to work out the type of skier you are and the skier you want to be.
Skis come in a variety of types. Here are the key ones:
Piste Skis - These are suited to skiing on piste, in good snow conditions. Some models use technology direct from the racing scene. Piste skis are great carving skis. Piste skis may struggle a little when skiing in less perfect conditions, and also if you wish to go off-piste.
All Mountain Skis (Or All Condition Skis) - These skis allow you to ski in a variety of snow conditions. So whether it is icy or slushy, an all-conditions ski will perform better than a piste ski. There is sometimes a loss of carving ability, but the modern all-conditions skis such as Volkl AC skis and Attiva women's skis have the latest technology to maintain carving ability.
Back Country Skis - These skis are for venturing out of bounds, hiking all over the mountain. They will remain versatile enough to ski the whole mountain, and also be lighter than normal to make it easier to carry them or travel uphill with them. Normally these are supplied without bindings, and you select an appropriate binding to suit your needs (See our Ski 101 section)
Off-Piste Skis (Or free ride, powder skis) - These skis are designed for skiing in powder and off-piste conditions. They will generally be wider to help with floating in the snow, and be a little more forgiving to give you more feel in powder and to absorb impacts from jumping/landing.
Which Length Of Ski Do I need?
You know the type of ski you want, you now know what each brand. Now you just need to work out the correct length.
This chart is to give you a rough indication of size. Height is not the main factor with modern carving skis; weight and ability are the two key things to consider. You can contact us any time for advice on ski lengths.
If you are between sizes, a shorter ski will give you shorter turns and a longer ski will be a little faster. If you are comparing to old non-carving skis you will see modern skis tend to be used in shorter lengths.
If you are buying a piste ski this chart should be accurate, if you are looking at an all-conditions ski, and again are between sizes, we suggest the lower of the two lengths. If you are a female skier, also choose the shorter length
Next, adjust the length to match your ability:
Decide on your ski level using the above chart, and then make the following adjustments:
REMEMBER! This chart is just a starting guide. If you have rented a ski length recently and found that this suited you, do NOT be afraid to select that size if it differs from the above - Length is a personal thing!
This should be enough to help direct you to the ski for you, but if you need more help just contact us here at Edge & Wax.
