Völkl Kenja 88 Skis · 2021
A great alternative to the highly recommended Black Pearl's. Arguably more stable and damp in the crud, ice, and hardpack than its competition thanks to a Titanal frame and carbon tips. This is the perfect ski for an intermediate-expert skier that wants something that can charge down the groomers but can also have fun in the bumps, trees, and occasional powder day.
This is a narrower version of Völkl's most popular ski. This one has a wood core with a titanal metal frame that makes it crazy stable on ice and at speed. It has a decent amount of pop underfoot for super easy turn transitions, it is seriously a fun ski! This ski is built for all-day groomer and ice ripping. A solid light core and metal frame makes this ski stable and maneuverable.
A great frontside classic from the Volkl family. At 88mm underfoot, these are great for carving up the groomers and enjoying the trees, as well. A lively pop with slight camber and rockered tips/tails allows the ski to float through those great powder days! Great for frontside, groomers, bumps, and trees.
Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Skis
This is a GREAT resort ski that will serve you at Stratton when the conditions get firmer. This ski will have awesome edge hold on harder snow. However, the slightly wide waist will allow you to venture into fresh snow and more variable terrain as well when you take those trips to Colorado!
A classic for a reason! Really versatile all mountain ski that loves skiing groomers but is also capable in softer conditions.
A classic for a reason. Really versatile women's ski that loves skiing groomers but then also cruising fresh powder.
Blizzard Black Pearl 97 Skis · 2022
With a 98mm waist width, rocker in the tip and tail, and metal in the construction of the ski, the Black Pearl is the Gold Standard of women's all-mountain skis! These babies can handle anything you might come across on the mountain - they carve beautifully down groomers, are maneuverable through trees and moguls, and stable at high speeds!
A wide variety of all-mountain terrain. With a 97 mm waist, this ski is wide enough to help you float through soft snow and variable conditions, while still being narrow enough to maintain great hold on groomers and hardpack. This ski will perform great both on and off-piste.
This is the gold standard of all-mountain skis as they can handle anything the resort has. Lightweight and responsive, the Black Pearl's are great for gripping groomers and carving into the woods when you see a perfect line.
Völkl Secret 92 Women's Skis · 2021
This ski will handle groomers and powder with easy! Responsive and damp meaning you'll have a super smooth ride!

All-mountain skiing - anything from icy East Coast groomers to powdered tree runs!
Blizzard Sheeva 10 Skis · 2022
This ski is great off-piste and has a relatively short turn radius. (This makes turning super easy when it gets tight in the trees and bumps!) It has great stability at speed and really charges all over the mountain. Not to mention these skis rule in the deep stuff, no matter where you take these, you are bound to have a top-notch time.
Float! With the wider underfoot and soft tips and tails, the Sheevas will be a dream come true in the powder. The metal laminate is light enough that you can still make this a touring ski and strong enough that you won't be sacrificing any stability.
Going from on-piste to off-piste without even thinking about it. Metal laminate underfoot makes this very very stable at speed, but not heavy. And it's wide enough for great powder performance as well.
Nordica Women's Santa ANA 88 Skis
This is a true all-mountain ski with a rocker profile, which will help you initiate turns on the groomed snow and float a little easier in the soft stuff. This is a light and nimble all-terrain performer that will help boost your confidence to the next level!
A bread and butter women’s ski, the terrain-specific metal and 88 waist width make these puppies versatile across hardpack, groomers, and soft snow alike. A higher-end ski for those looking to grow with their skis and do some hard carvig.
K2 Mindbender 88 TI Alliance Skis · 2020
The 88 TI's waist is 88 mm, with K2's new technology called Torsion Control Design. This is a Y shaped titanal in the tip which allows you to initiate our turns. There is a wide and strong titanal plate underfoot for great edge retention, and the titanal in the tail of the ski is geared toward the middle of the ski so it is compliant and allows you to change your turn shape. Also, it is a very lightweight ski.
Versatility all over the mountain. K2's Y-Beam metal laminate profile provides a ton of stability through the effective edge without making the ski feel terribly cumbersome at slower speeds, moguls or in low angle terrain.
This is an extremely versatile ski that offers a great blend of stability and forgiveness. Stable and precise on edge, but quick and maneuverable when you need them to be.
Blizzard Black Pearl 82 Skis
This is a lightweight but stable ski that loves to get on edge and carve. Amazing grip on groomers and ice!
All-mountain destroyer that wants to get on edge and carve! Ridiculous grip on groomers and ice!
Fischer Ranger 99 TI Women's Skis · 2021
Despite a very lightweight construction this ski is going to be good for just about anything that you throw at it. The skis stiff build means you'll be able to move from edge to edge quickly when you're on piste, but it's 99 mm waist means that you'll float when you get into the deep stuff.
Drawing from Fischer's race heritage, this ski is very precise on edge and the metal construction will give it increased stability at speed and variable conditions.
Can stomp powder, go fast, and lightweight, making it a blast.
Salomon Stance 94 Women's Skis
Brand new for 2021 the stance is one of the most reactive skis in it's class. This ski is a wood core with a titanal metal sheet over the top giving it incredible responsiveness and edge to edge ability. This ski handles crud like a queen and is much lighter than most others at this width.
Its lightweight construction makes it quick and reactive on varying terrain but this ski also likes to rip! Charging groomers and going fast is in its makeup! Although it has a very stable build, the ski is very capable in the bumps and trees with the right driver!
Mellow groomers, POWDER, and all around good times!
