The Secret pairs a 3D sidecut with a Titanal frame to reduce chatter and prevent deflection away from your active edge. The 3D sidecut places different radii along different parts of the edge so you get instant bite when initiating your turn while retaining the ability to carve longer turns at speed.

Super lightweight woodcore. Would make for a great backcountry setup.

This is a phenomenal big mountain ski for powder performance! Fun and playful. Light but can still charge the crud and chop between powder stashes.

A great option that is a bit more of a freeride all mountain ski but can easily hit the park with ease with their extra durable bases and thicker edges. These are a directional twin so they can easily be skied in either direction but sacrifice nothing when it comes to skiing and carving hard out on the rest of the mountain. Lastly, one of my favorite features on these is the 5 cut side radius allowing for a variety of small and large turns without skipping a beat in between!

These Santa Anas have that more neutral stance with a more tapered and lifted tail, a progressive sidecut with a 14.5mm turn radius, and dynamic flex pattern. The big difference is in stiffness and stability. These have more metal in the build. It will feel a bit heavier and take more effort to drive, but will reward a strong skier with edge hold on anything (makes them one of the most popular East Coast skis, where you see sheets of ice on runs). The lowered length at 158cm would keep them on the maneuverable side for you, but you may still find them less stable at speed due to not having as much board in front of you / behind you.

A 15 meter radius translates to the ski's capacity to turn on a dime. Furthermore, the carbon construction of these skis ensures they are very lightweight and oriented towards the skier that needs something to point in whatever direction they please without much force. The all terrain rocker allows these skis to float well in fresh snow while maintaining an edge balance on harder conditions.

Fischer redesigned the Ranger series for 2023, aiming to combine the best traits of the old Ti Rangers-stability and dampness- with those of the Ranger FR- playfulness and nimbleness. Each Ranger has a sheet of metal underfoot, but with each iteration of the Ranger, the layer of metal gets shorter as the ski gets wider. So the metal in the Ranger 102 makes up only about half of the ski, resulting in a much softer and playful ski overall. The 102 is built for days when soft snow is plentiful and skiers are looking to romp through trees and off-piste without an overly demanding ski asking too much of them of punishing them for bad form. But the metal underfoot gives the ski plenty of stability when you are racing down your favorite groomer back to the lift.

These Reliance 92ti Women's Skis are an excellent resort performance ski from Armada. They have a titanal beam layer that helps maintain a consistent flex throughout the ski. Great all over the resorts, from bumps to groomers to skiing the trees, these will be a blast.

Armadas lightest caruba wood core paired with a powerful titanal layer gives you all the power you could need at a more manageable weight, especially in tighter spots when you're weaving through trees. The free ride rocker shape gives a bit more rise in the tips for better float while the positive camber underfoot lets you carve with ease on even the iciest days! Really just a very well rounded ski that you can take anywhere without worrying about the conditions!

The new fully unisex Fisher Ranger Line is breaking boundaries on a lightweight and powerful ski - fun at any speed and any snow condition, these skis are ready for you to have a great day!

Super wide for float, but still stout and stable for firm days, or just bombing the cat tracks back to the lift. While a bit wide for true all mountain skiing, the 116 is a fantastic freeride choice for the playful skier. Best suited for deep, wide, and fast skiing, the 116 loves to be pointed down the fall line and ripped around the biggest lines and pillows on the hill.

Amazing powerful turns on groomed terrain, and at 96mm underfoot this ski can hack the cruddy and the soft when the skies open up. This ski has a double sheet of metal, so it really grabs those groomers for an incredible turn. It is surprisingly light and can hack pretty much anything you throw at it!

Want skis that float like a true powder ski but grip and rip like your edge is a serrated knife? Do you want skis that are playful like your favorite rocker ski but will pop you up onto any rail with ease? These are your sticks. The triple camber makes sure that these skis come preloaded with energy and have twice the initial points of contact when initiating your edge. As you power into it, the rest of the edge grips in with even pressure ensuring that you don't slow down on your turn and actually accelerate you out of it. The rocker in the tip and tail is super playful and opens the whole mountain up to look like a playground. If there is one ski that changes the entire way you look at and ride a mountain, this is it.

Wood tube lite core with carbon rods along the side cut. These are ideal for the skier that spends time on and off the trails. Unique right and left ski from Elan these even at 106mm wide in the waist are easy edge to edge. The inner edges have more camber for holding edge on variable terrain. Where the outer edges have more rocker and help these smear pow turns. With less carbon rods than the Black Edition these will be softer and more forgiving. A great choice for a slightly wider all mountain ski.

Groomers, Hard Pack, Low-tide Tree and Mogul Skiing, A Modicum of New Snow. One of the narrowest of the Mindbender line, the Titinal Y-Beam construction and All-Terrain Rocker construction of the Women's Mindbender 89TI will give you stability at speed; easy turn initiation; and a low-chatter ride that makes this a perfect low-tide/groomer driver that will feel at home on and off piste.

These are the widest model in Völkl's All-Mountain Freeride women's collection. The Völkl Secret 102 are built with the same materials and construction as the more firm-snow-focused Kenja 88. Metal runs along the edges of the ski in both the tip and tail, however, the metal does not connect underfoot in order to provide a strong, stable feel on edge- it lightens the ski as well! They have implemented a 3D Radius sidecut which uses a longer radius in the tips and tails, and a tighter radius underfoot to allow for different turn shapes dependent on how you're shifting weight.

The Atomic Backland 98 is made to be a women's backcountry ski that can do it all. With a 98 mm waist and Atomic's HRZN tech tip, it can easily float in powder, but with lightweight wood core reinforced by a carbon backbone, it is stiff and responsive enough for steep descents where you need to trust in your ski. It is also deliciously lightweight, weighing in at just 1200 grams per ski in the 164 cm length. this is a serious touring ski that makes the uphill a delight and the downhill whatever you want it to be.
