This ski is for the intermediate skier who want to go all-mountain. It's a bit more optimized for off-piste than staying on the groomers but it can handle both with ease. This is great if you plan on spending time off the groomed runs and going out to explore. The bindings that come with this ski are demo-style bindings which means if you have to switch boots you can keep using the same ski, no matter what. Definitely geared toward an intermediate skier looking to advance their skiing. Great price for the binding/ski package!

The Rossignol Rallybird 90 is a lightweight and energetic freeride ski made for intermediate-advanced lady skiers who want a playful ski that can handle a variety of conditions. At 90mm wide, the Rallybird performs well in soft snow and off trail, while still getting edge to edge quick, and being plenty capable of linking tight turns on the hard pack. Paired with the Xpress 10 GW bindings, this is a great daily driver set up for skiers looking for versatility and playfulness in a lightweight package.

A great ski from Salomon that includes bindings and has a great 85mm waist width for those groomers in New England. The rocker profile on this ski will help you get some float in some light powder and when navigating through some late afternoon crud! This is a great ski to learn and to grow on!

Without any metal, this skis keeps things light and playful while the carbon braid and strips stiffen the mid section of the ski for grip and edge control. The loosening of the braids at the tip and tail soften the flex and make this ski incredibly fun off-piste, in light powder, trees, and moguls. Great for the less aggressive skier who wants both a ski that can perform on the blue and blacks but has the versatility to jump into those side hits when they call. Skiers looking for a versatile ride that remains stable and nimble in a variety of terrain and conditions!

The K2 Mindbender 85's combine a forgiving design but still offer the edge hold and carvability that most entry-level skis don't. This ski is perfect for shredding groomers out east but will also be a great asset to your quiver if you're ever skiing out west. With all-terrain rocker these skis will truly perform great in all conditions. The short low rise in the tail will also help add extra control when you're in variable snow. The aspen core is lightweight but still resilient enough to dampen the chatter at fast speeds. Once you realize the capabilities of this ski, you'll wonder how you were ever riding those crusty old rentals.

This is a nicer ski that is made to be accessible to beginners and intermediate skiers alike. A short turning radius (12.1 m) combined with a minor rocker profile (slight rise in both the tip and the tail) makes it a super maneuverable and playful ski. This is something that will be great to learn on, but it will keep right up with you as you progress and move in to more technical terrain (powder, moguls, trees, etc.). At 85mm wide underfoot, this is a little wider than the other options. This adds to the ski's versatility as it can still carve easily on groomed snow, but it will float a little easier in fresh snow and powder.

The 85mm waist combined with K2's all-terrain rocker profile makes this an incredibly versatile and fun ski. This will do great for someone who is learning and wants to focus more on the groomed snow for now, but also wants to leave the door open to skiing all over the mountain later on. The lightweight aspen wood core and fiberglass laminate add to the skis durability so it will last you many seasons while you progress! The short turning radius means this ski will be comfortable doing slower, controlled turns, but it will still hold it's own at speed!

This ski will grip well on hard pack and rebound well making for a lively ski. The all terrain rocker will allow for some playful and forgiving turns which will be clutch in the moguls.

The Dynastar Menace is a great all-mountain ski that will perform in a variety of conditions! At 90mm underfoot and a rocker/camber/rocker profile, there's enough floatation for the occasional powder day, but it's still narrow enough for versatility and performance on groomers, packed snow, trees - you name it!

the Mindbender 90C is geared toward women skiers wanting to build their skills off trail and in more technical terrain, but want to do without the added weight of metal in their ski. By using Carbon Fiber filaments as opposed to metal in the frame of the 90C, K2 keeps the ski lightweight and nimble, yet surprisingly stiff and confidence-inspiring in rougher snow due to the carbon. But yet, it can still turn a dime when you need it to!

Ladies looking for stability and speed with a healthy dose of playfulness. The Volkl Kenja 88 is a ski for lady shredders who love to ski the whole mountain with speed and precision. 88mm underfoot is snappy edge to edge and dominates hardpack--perfect for East Coast skiers or ladies who prefer the groomers--and the 3D radius sidecut lets you change your turn radii based on speed and edge angle. The rocker tip and tail keeps the ski afloat through the woods or in variable snow and the Titanal Frame and carbon tips adds stability without losing playfulness.
