Women's Specific Skis

An important and ever-growing category is women’s specific ski. The most obvious question regarding this category, is “Why should I choose a women’s specific skis?” The answer has to do with women’s anatomy and the differences incorporated into the ski to accommodate these differences:

• Softer Flex: Skis are made softer by changing the thickness of the core or the material, such as by removing metal, resulting in a softer flex distribution. Translation: It takes less effort to make the ski bend and carve. +
• Lighter Construction: Either materials are omitted or cores are made from lighter weight wood and metal. Translation: Skis feel lively and turn easier.
• Shorter Lengths: Manufacturers now offer a variety of length options. Translation: Easier to find the right length for your height and ability.
• Forward Mounting Position: Skis are designed so bindings can be mounted farther forward (typically 1-2 cm) to accommodate a lower center of gravity and wider pelvis. Translation: Easier to find the sweet spot and stay centered.

When choosing skis, the most important step you can take is to demo several and get a feel for what is right for you and the type of terrain you will ski on. If you have any questions about women specific skis contact our staff at 866-808-1673.
