Optimal Glide with Manual Structure Tools from IDT

Structuring your skis is a crucial process to ensure optimal glide in various snow conditions. With IDT's Manual Structure Tools, you gain access to professional-grade equipment designed to enhance your skiing experience—regardless of your skill level. Structuring is a simple yet effective method to adjust your ski base to specific weather and snow conditions, resulting in better glide and easier skiing.

What is Structuring?

Structuring involves applying a pattern to the base of your skis using a structure tool. This pattern reduces friction between the skis and the snow, noticeably improving your glide. The depth and direction of the structure can be adjusted based on snow type and temperature, giving you better control and faster speeds.

Benefits of IDT Manual Structure Tools:

• Improved Glide: Our manual structure tools create an even and precise pattern on your skis, ensuring smooth and fast glide on all types of snow.
• Adapted to All Snow Conditions: With various models and adjustment options, IDT’s manual structure tools can be customized for everything from cold, dry snow to wet, heavy snow.
• Easy to Use: Whether you're a beginner or an experienced skier, our structure tools are designed to be user-friendly. We also provide detailed guidance to help you achieve the best structure for your needs.

How to Use IDT Manual Structure Tools:

1. Prepare the Skis: Before starting, make sure your skis are clean and dry. This ensures the structure tool grips the base properly.

2. Select the Structure Tool: Choose the IDT structure tool that best suits the conditions you'll be skiing in. If unsure, we recommend starting with the versatile 1mm model.

3. Apply the Structure: Roll the tool evenly and with the appropriate pressure across the base. If unsure about the pressure, start lightly and gradually increase it to achieve the desired structure.

4. Test the Result: After structuring, test your skis on the snow to assess the effect. Adjust the structure if necessary to find the optimal result.
