Sažetak

Nowadays, skiers and snowboarders leave drifted turns behind. Carving is a password to enter all winter resorts. Ski and snowboard equipment is produced in such a way as to comply as much as possible with the developing trends in both skiing and snowboarding techniques. This paper is a comparison of classical skis and Alpine snowboard, in other words, a comparison between the old and the new. It also initiates a discussion on lateral balance which influences both skiers and snowboarders. In the measurements, classical slalom skis and a slalom snowboard were used. The goal was to point out the different possibilities of the carving turn performance. The intention was to emphasize the contribution of snowboarding technique to skiing. The results presented indicate the better racing performance on a snowboard compared to classical non-carving slalom skis. Though skis are faster in a straight run, the snowboard proved to be faster in the turns. This may be a guideline for coaches to analyze the technique of their team members and take into account the results when creating a workout.
