Racer ready, well not quite racer perhaps but very sporty and feisty females are required to tame a pair of Sonic’s. No bad thing at all, if you want to ski with some fire in your loins and cease to remain a soporific skiing slacker then grab some skis with fire in their [...]

The Viva G-3 is mid-range in Blizzard’s women’s specific Viva range. The G-3 retains the IQ system of an integrated binding and ski. The Viva G-3 is a clean looking ski with a light-construction and versatile profile for the all-mountain skier.
The G-3 Viva has a sharper turn than lower models plus a [...]

Large “universal shredders.” Amplid’s kinda “all-mountain” ski for girls. Stylish and certainly aimed at freeskiing but I think you’d definitely be happier in the back-country with these babies opposed to attempting to “shred” a line on firm East Coast boiler-plate or European ice early in the season. A great ski for the [...]

Not having tested this ski but having taken a seat when regarding the price I hope this is one hell of a ski. It looks the part, the finish of the Infrapearl is gorgeous and the dimensions are perfect for the expert female skier who spends her days ripping up the back-country. [...]

Very funky and very attractive, even alluring. Maybe some of the more established manufacturers need to wake up to Amplid fresh designs and purposeful constructions. The Allure may be aimed squarely at female riders but this ain’t a pussy of a ski, this is a full-blown park animal with every bit of [...]

Tamer siblings to the Sl 12, a great ski. A touch more forgiving, not that the standard 12’s aren’t forgiving for the expert. Perhaps the advanced skier looking for their first pair of slalom skis would enjoy the 11’s or, if they are very light, then the 10’s.
Sharing a similar side-cut to [...]

New girl specific freeski from Atomic at a great price point. The Bad Kitty keeps things lightweight and agile with its Densolite core. A slanted cap also helps in the Park for spinning and the waists are wide enough to stomp landings and cruise the mountain when you’ve finished with the kickers [...]

Ahhhh interesting! Atomic have been intelligent here with the range topping Raisin’ Hell range. In fact this is a range rather than one pair of skis in differing lengths. If you are an expert female looking for a slalom ski or short turn race carver then plump for the very aggressive [...]

Female specific big-mountain skis with that ever-feminine of adornments, a “leather embossed” top-sheet! In fact the Heaven ‘n Hell is quite a pleasing ski on the eye, guess all skiers, and especially women, do get bored of some of the marketing crap out there.
Anyhow, to the snow where this ski belongs. [...]

Lovely looking pair of skis with lots of agility and versatility for intermediate and advanced level groom run skiers. The ‘9’s look fantastic and ski very well. Their 73 mm waist inspires confidence and is easy to balance upon, even in fresh or chopped up snow. On groomed runs the 9 [...]
