20 Best All Mountain Skis For Women (2023 Updated)

I love these skis! Fun for racing down groomers and carving it up in variable snow conditions. They eat through crud like nothing and give great stability without being overly heavy and stiff. Very confidence-inspiring! I feel like I can ski faster than ever before, partly because they are extremely stable at high speeds but also because the high tips make it very unlikely to get stuck on any chunky crud.

I am 5’6″, 140 lb and am loving the 172 length. They do not feel unwieldy at all- in fact, I love the extra length and wish I had upgraded to longer skis sooner. They are even fun and responsive in moguls despite their length.

For reference, I have been skiing on Blizzard Vivas in 160 length for the last few years. I honestly think moguls and short, fast turns are easier with the SA’s than they were with my Blizzards, even though they were significantly shorter!.

I’ve been touring on the Unlimited 88’s all winter and found them incredibly playful and versatile for skiing with confidence in a variety of conditions. I’ve found this out the hard way because it’s been a low-snow winter with challenging conditions ranging from corn to bulletproof crust to windboard, condensed powder, loose powder, and everything in between.

The Unlimited 88’s have really sailed through anything I’ve thrown at them. I’m super happy with this everyday hard-charging ski, and it’s light enough that I can cover some serious mileage.

Better than expected! Was a bit nervous because the flex of the ski was not noted on the website. My personal opinion is about a medium flex, which I what I was wanting! Absolute beautiful design. Also the staff at the Denver store was the best customer service I have ever had when I brought them in to see about mounting the bindings.

Could not be happier. Best outdoor website around and even better staff at the main stores!!!.

These skis are some of the lightest 100mm wide skis available, and most skimo-co customers would probably consider that a pow-ski size. If you’re using these skis for powder or really any soft snow, they are fantastic.

Great float and very stable for their weight. The tips don’t get hung up on dense snow and crusts as much as most other touring skis I’ve used. They are extremely maneuverable in tight spaces, making jump turns, chutes, and brushy exits easier.

My one complaint is that these skis don’t hold an edge very well and have a hard time gripping firm snow. With a good tune this isn’t as much of an issue, but I’m not the kind of person who tunes my skis regularly and I haven’t had issues with edge grip on my other skis.

I kind of think this issue is inherent to the Atomic 100mm shape. I have demoed the Bentchetler 100 and Maverick 100 ti, which both share a very similar shape to the Backland 100, and all 3 skis struggled on firm snow.

I know the Bentchetler 100 has a lot of fans, so if you like that ski and want a lighter touring version that doesn’t sacrifice too much performance you will love the Backland 100. I know a lot of us on this website have narrower skis for firm snow, if that is you then the Backland 100 is a great lightweight powder tool.

I’ve skied a ton of skis in this general category (Alp Tracks 89-169; Trab Maximo 171; Zero G 95-171; Blacklight 88-172; BD Cirque 78-169) but never the Backland 85 UL. However, I skied the Backland 78-163 for a full season as my only ski and really liked it, so I’ve wanted to get on these for a while.

Fortunately, I had a chance to ski a friend’s pair in 172 recently. I only skied these for a few hours, so take it with a grain of salt. I’m 5’8″, 150 lbs, self-taught but expert skier. In short, these skis feel exactly like you’d think they would based on paper.

Like other Atomic skis, they are good skis, but they don’t have the special dampness of Ski Trab, Movement, or Aski (which is totally fine!!). Like other thin Backland skis, they are easy to ski, make a variety of turn shapes, have a huge sweet spot, etc.

They are softer & less demanding than a Zero G or Trab ski but also probably not as uber-high-performing as those skis on the top end/when ripping. On my 78, I found that the HRZN tip was real tech and not just marketing material – it actually does help in soft snow (unfortunately I had no such snow during my demo).

Overall, such a fun ski. They are just so easy to ski while also being kg-weight. I think for any intermediate skier, or even expert skiers who don’t want to always “be on,” these are absolute dynamite.

Can’t go wrong. The one thing I would prefer Atomic would be to increase the turn radii of their skis to a consistent 18m or so. 17 is a bit short for my preferences; I would absolutely get a 163 length in the 85 or 78, but at a 15-16m radius it’s unskiable at high speeds.

Bought these as a level-up from my short, skinny beginner set-up. And they have been lovely! Perfect for all conditions, being from the east coast I like to carve a lot and the edges are great! They have also performed very well on the Cascadian concreate of the PNW and even felt wonderful underfoot when we got some powder.

The M10 bindings were super easy to get set-up and react wonderfully to any stress I put on them. Love that they are Grip-Walk compatible, looking at getting a new pair of boots too, but also that they still take standard alpine boots.

Only complaint I have is that they were damaged out-of-box. One ski had a gouge at the top of the metal edging. I took them back to the Seattle store and they quickly filled in the gouge and gave the skis a nice wax over.

Could have probably been prevented if the edging went the entire way around the ski, but who needs tip edging anyway. Would definitely buy again and I’m sure that in the wider size they might be perfect in the powder.

This ski excels when you want to go fast and charge hard. From a powder day at the resort that turns to chopped up, bumpy variable snow to skiing the biggest lines of your life in Alaska to jumping and stomping cliffs – this ski holds it own.

If you’re the type to press the pedal to the metal this ski does not waiver. It’s not the most forgiving ski if you are looking to spin 180 butters or if you’re apprehensive to “open it up. ” The Sheeva 11s are 100% reliable which in turn instills confidence in one’s skiing abilities.

This ski makes you feel like a rock star ready for the big stage.

Love these! Perfect ski for hitting the trees and moguls. Way more manoeuvrable than I expected for the length at 172cm. They carve well on groomers too and hold an edge admirably in icy conditions. Coming from a narrower ski, it took me some time to adjust my skiing to get the edge angle right to avoid chatter on faster carved turns.

I love these skis! I popped some Salomon Shift bindings on these and use them for backcountry and inbounds skiing. They can cut through just about anything and float really nicely in deep powder. They are super fun on groomers as well and very playful.

My favorite skis yet. Only downside is they are heavy for backcountry use going uphill, but the ski down is fantastic! The trade off is worth it to me.

I had a pair of Kore 93’s from last year 2021 and I thought they were great. Unfortunately I watched Ski Essentials reviews and they raved that 87’s were much improved for bigger heavier guys that like to go fast.

Wrong. I am 250 lbs and I could not get these new Kore 87s to do anything. They are lifeless stiff planks on your feet no fun at all and all the bumps go directly up into your legs because they are pretty lightweight.

The 87s unfortunately are just a do nothing, no fun ski. I gave them to my neice’s boyfriend. The good news is I just tried a pair of Fisher 94 FR at Deer Valley over New Years 2022 and they were a ton of fun.

Super easy to turn and great edge hold on the groomed. I was railing connecting turns. Under foot is thick and stiff and gives you total control. I bought a pair to bring home. I was so impressed I might also buy a pair of 92ti.

I normally ski a 181cm-`184cm and I was in a hurry to get out on the hill. At the end of the day I noticed I was on the 94FR in a 177cm. And I read that they ski short due to the rocker. That my be true but because of the beefy construction under foot the 94FR’s did not exhibit the typical unstable behavior of a shorter ski at speed.

Anyway, my advice is buy the previous generation Kore’s or check out the Fisher 94FR’s which are a lot of fun.

I’ve been an east coast skier for 30 years and this ski is by far the most fun ski I’ve ever experienced. It is light and snappy but still damp, confident and FAST! I’ve skied dozens of models over time and the Kore is my personal favorite.

I ski the Kore93 180cm and it excels everywhere. Short turns, long turns, steeps, trees, powder, ice, moguls, park features. The ski literally can do it all. Compared to skis like the Enforcer, Mantra, Experience, Brahma, the Kore just seems to be more versatile and all mountain friendly when skied in comparison.

The tails are a bit softer (but still not too soft) and it’s easier to be more agile through trees and bumps. It is also a lot lighter so there is less fatigue when you are on skis all day. This is one ski that I’ve been on that instantly makes you feel like a better skier, which is a confidence booster.

If you are a novice skier, maybe not the best choice, as it likes to be on edge and rewards a good technique. HEAD is known for the ski racing technology and so much of that heritage is apparent in this ski.

Well balanced, well engineered design and performance, and just pure fun. Get a pair!.

I purchased these skis after reading the glowing reviews on this and other websites. I ordered both my skis and bindings from Evo, then excited to try my new skis, used them one time in perfect powder conditions.

I started to notice scratches appearing all over the surface of the ski throughout the day. As they are a dark color, I found this very noticeable. My previous pair of skis, K2 supermodel series, never had an issue with this after 3 years of wear.

I ski 15+ days a year. I called Evo immediately upon returning home with my skis and though they are brand new, basically tried them once, was told I have to initiate the warranty process, and that many new skis scratch easily.

So far I’m disappointed not only in the ski, but also in Evo’s unwillingness to stand behind the product they sell, making resolution of the defect a simple process for the customer. If you only care about the actual ski of this product, you’re probably fine, but if you want to also have your surface paint stand up to any sort of normal use, then I’d look elsewhere.

I?m east coast based and bought these intending for them to be my west coast powder skis. I ended up using them all season even home here on the East where I only ski tour. I mounted them with kingpins and they are light enough for my purposes.

I love how stable these are on chop and how easily they turn even in tight east coast glades, which is surprising at 116 under the foot. They shined in variable conditions going from pow to awful choppy snow, and they are fun on groomers too.

I?m most impressed with how durable they are.

I am 48 years old and this is my 20+ year skiing. I skied 150+ runs on the Mindbender 85 Alliance and started on them as an intermediate with some Black Diamonds under my belt. I quickly found myself progressing with confidence from Blue to Double Black this season.

Location: Southeast; Beech Mountain NC, Snowshoe Resort WV, Silver Creek WV Slopes: Green, Blue, Black Diamond, Double Black Diamonds Top speed: 47. 5 mph Impression: great edge hold and control, more control at speed, stable, handles crud, floats in 5″ powder, carves ice, easy edge to edge transition, easy to ski and quickly builds confidence.

This ski is affordable, versatile and worth the try!.

I am 50 years old and this is my 3rd skiing. I skied 150+ runs on the Mindbender 85 and started on them as an intermediate. I quickly found myself progressing with confidence from Blue to Black and playing on moguls this season.

Location: Southeast; Beech Mountain NC, Snowshoe Resort WV, Silver Creek WV Slopes: Green, Blue, Black Diamond, Double Black Diamonds Top speed: 51. 4mph Impression: great edge hold and control, more control at speed, stable, handles crud, floats in 5″ powder, carves ice, easy edge to edge transition, easy to ski and quickly builds confidence.

This ski is affordable, versatile and worth the try!.

These skis are a big step for me! For 30+ years I’ve skied only on race skis. primarily slalom or GS. and was looking for an all-mountain ski. Something more playful and lighter weight. So I thought I’d really change it up and try women-specific skis after only skiing on men’s skis for 60+ years! I demoed a couple pair of friends’ skis last season, all were fat 88 or wider underfoot, and a couple pair were women’s.

I just had my first day on these skis and the first run was a bit tentative as I got used to the wider width. The second run was on steeper terrain and I let them go! What a blast!! The rest of the day was shear joy! I have to say, they’re not much lighter than my slalom skis, and while I can cut the turn radius way down, it’s work! They love big GS turns.

But it’s only the first day! I’m 5’8″, 135 lbs and bought the 173 cm length. I could probably have gone down a size or two but these were within my size range. And I got an incredible deal on them! One more thng.

the skis didn’t show up on the anticipated date, so I sent an email to evo and soon I had news from Tony, who had tracked them down in the Midwest. He gave me a new delivery date and was awesome to work with! Great customer service!! Thanks, Tony and evo!!.

This is a really nice ski. Took them out for the first time today on solid east coast hardpack and they were a lot of fun. They’re not super heavy and are pretty easy to move around despite a fairly substantial waist width.

They finished turns nicely in the softer snow. They’re pretty stiff so this is definitely a ski for someone who is comfortable getting aggressive in order to make the ski do the work for those clean arcs.

Didn’t seek out any bumps today but I expect they’ll do pretty well based on the weight and feel. I was looking for a solid ice coast expert womens all mountain ski and I think I found it!.

Bought as a set these 88TI Rossi’s with some Marker Griffon 13 bindings and Atomic poles. I called before finalizing the order and found the support very helpful and knowledgeable. It was with their help I was able to narrow down this selection for my Son’s Xmas gift.

The process was easy, support was fantastic and the cost was great. Oh. and the skis / equipment are great. my son loves them.

I have pandora 104s which I LOVE and thought I might like something thinner/lighter for spring touring so decided to try these as the price point is right compared to most of light touring skis. I personally would not use them as a powder day ski, coming of the 104s which are so fun and surfy on pow, they do not float well in more than a foot.

They do excel at moguls, trees, and packed or groomed snow and tracked out snow to some extent. They are very stable at speed, not at all chattery, as well as responsive and nimble. If you ski “in the back seat” they aren’t very forgiving of that, you really do need to lean forward /”charge” for them to perform well, so not the best option for someone trying to push themselves into uncomfortable or new terrain.

I found if I was nervous and leaning back I caught the tail like crazy. Overall though, if you are a confident or advanced skier looking for a price conscious touring option this is absolutely it. It is also an excellent spring ski or groomer ski as well.

For reference an I 5’5″ and picked 158 length.

I bought these sight unseen based on reviews. My prior skis were Volkl Kiku which I loved but had lost its pop. I just returned from a trip to snowbird which saw several feet of snow so I was able to ski these in various conditions.

They loved fluffy knee high powder and were speedier than expected on hard pack. They were very fun and easy to maneuver in moguls and trees. When I got tired, it was easy to get tips crossed in moguls so you do need to stay on top of them.

I also found them a little tough in deep heavy snow but that could be more indicative of my skill. They were more than competent plowing through crud. As reference I have demoed black crows camox birdie (fun but not speedy) and volkl secret (heavy, tough to maneuver in steep trees, but delightfully speedy).

Overall a great ski that I am looking forward to play around with this winter.

First off I love these skis! Before these, I had a basic pair that I learned with. 3 years later, it was time to get a new pair. I had been doing some park, getting into blacks and double blacks but always felt nervous with my old skis.

With these new Line skis, I feel like I can crush anything! They float on top of powder, they do great with groomers and even on some icy runs. They also give you some sweet style points on the mountain.

Highly recommend.

For past 36 years, I have been on various skis from FIS world cup skis to wide powder skis and this pair is one of few pairs made me wow right away. After three separate days of skiing in different snow conditions on all three days, Experience 82 TI quickly became top of my favorite pairs without any doubt.

In my view, this is the pair truly performs both “Stable and Versatile. ” What I loved the most was that 82 TI felt to bring back the 1st generation of Experience line’s strengths and blend with the 2nd generation by blending two and adding new technologies into this pair, which was almost a shock to me.

Out of tons of good things I have been feeling so far, most impressive feelings are strong edge grip & stability on hard-pack groomed slope and quietness at the tips even on ice ball filled slopes. In my humble opinion, not all skis with metal can do what I mentioned based on my 36 years of ski life and I can say without doubt, this is very strong firm snow carving capable all mountain pair.

Along with strong carving side aspect, this pair still shows what we expect from all-mountain categories – Versatile and playful. This may be little narrow to be claimed as all-mountain category in big mountains out west, but 82 waist is perfect for every-day all-mountain fun skiing here in OH.

A day after a foot of white gift from the sky, I skied on 82 TI and surely had so much fun going thru off-trail areas and the light fluffy powder snow. Hate to say this, but one thing I also noticed was that this pair may not be for all levels of skiers.

As much as this pair does everything it promises, definitely it requires a skier to do their duty to feel all those. But as long as you do your part, you will feel all those good things just like I felt.

Very very happy with Experience 82 TI and will not hesitate to recommend to other fellow skiers. Bottom line is, if someone is looking for a strong carving all-mountain pair, Experience 82 TI is the one without any doubt.

I ski on Nordica Enforcers and Head SL rebels. These rossignol E86 are replacing Volkl Tigershark 10s. And these Rossis fill the bill. They are super stable and can switch from big deep carving turn to right short right turns.

They are nimble and agile. Great overall ski. These will be my new daily go to ski.

Phenomenal skis! Took out for a few hours and could not believe how well they turn, regardless of terrain. Great on icier patches and powder and work great in moguls! Can’t recommend enough!

Purchased these in 177cm as my first lightweight touring/mountaineering ski to use in the Wasatch back. Coming from a beef setup, these feel soooo light—in a good way. Paired with the Ski Trab Titan Vario Adjustable binding and Arc’teryx Procline Carbon boots.

After some resort days, a 8+ hours of fitness laps, and one standard backcountry adventure day, here are my thoughts: Quick & dirty: Stiffer ski that can float and carve without weighing you down on the up.

Highly recommend for a one-ski backcountry quiver without breaking the bank. The shop did a fantastic job getting me into such a great match with these skis. What I dig: Skimo Co. ‘s description pretty much nails it.

These pups carved like a boss on resort groomers, had great edge hold on steeper icier stuff, and have an uncanny ability to float for their waist width because of the tip construction and shape. I also skied the new Dynastar Legend x106 189cm this year with alpine bindings, and loved that ski, too.

It felt in many ways like a bigger Mythic, so it’s understandable why I liked it—stiff mid-rear flex, great carving hold, still able to smear as needed, and super fun floaty playfulness up front. The Mythic does not strike me as good a ski for beginners, though.

My alpine daily driver is a Volkl Mantra M5 184cm (19-20), so I like stiffer fall-line skis. My boots are a good match for the Mythic, particularly in the shorter length for me (weight savings motivated).

Even being stiff, though, the ski seemed to track great when in “auto-pilot mode” on a long traverse or flat trail section. What I didn’t expect: This one isn’t a deal breaker, but more of a required adaptation for those who haven’t skied such light skis before.

Because the skis are so light, they don’t weigh themselves down—in chopped powder, for instance. So, when the downhill ski is weighted, the uphill ski can potentially plane up and get squirrelly. To counteract this, one simply needs to apply a bit more pressure to the uphill ski (i.

e. ski a bit more two-footed) than may otherwise be habit. The lightness is also noticeable at absolute max speed, in that the ski isn’t as damp as a 2200gram ski (duh), but certainly doesn’t feel unsafe.

It just takes a bit more attentiveness when going supersonic. Other thoughts: I modified my skin tips to use the Colltex Ace Tip attachments w/ hammer rivets, and they work really well with this ski, even though it has a very round tip.

They stay put in transit, but remain very easy to remove for tip-first skin rips.

A truly iconic (2012) Legend reincarnated ! Excellent energy return, straight/pin/flat’ish tail, slightly/early rockered tip, bomber construction. what more can an absolutely insane freeheeler ask for?? This ski is NOT for the fair-weather, weekend warrior.

One can quite easily get caught off guard, and as usual the LPR will B’slap you for being a lazy puta (aka: not a forgiving sk)! HOWEVER, if you are willing to give ‘er [email protected] pushing it to your limits, these planks will reward, as there isn’t much that can stop these legendary beast.

other than you: absolute-crud-busting-potato-smash-point ’em-down-hoping-to-achieve-mach-while-capable-of-floating-atop-champagne-dreams. My only gripe is how many hoops I had to dive through to get these puppies as Dynastar obviously tried hard to ensure this Canadian did get my grubby mitts on ’em—not sold in Canada, and authorized dealers won’t ship =(.

Skiing on these through semi-slushy snow and in spots that were slippery showed that these skis are an awesome all-mountain option. They initiated turns immediately, and were truly fun to carve on. Though often overlooked, the Dynastar Legends are really an awesome option for any lady out there that skis the whole mountain and who likes a speedy and playful ski.

My only complaint, and it’s petty is that the top sheet isn’t great. It’s a personal qualm, but also one that seems to make the Legend 96W’s easy to overlook when there are so many bright and modern looking skis out there.

Again, it has nothing to do with the actual ski itself, which is awesome. I just want it to receive the attention it deserves!.

Purchased from a local reputable ski store, but ordered from their warehouse because my length not in stock in the store. One ski color darker than the other. After first time skiing, noticed the edges chipped and minor slight peelings of top sheet.

I am not a beginner. My old Rossignol skis I’ve used for years still look great and these Salomon’s look like they’ve been used by a beginner. Disappointing for spending $600. I had read negative reviews about the top sheet problems, but figured they were the minority.

Really would prefer my money back.

These skis were exactly what I was looking for and I love them. They are super fun and allow me to make tighter, faster carving turns versus my powder skis and the fat skis that we’ve all been skiing.

I call them my morning carving skis and I love them. I believe people who are having problems with the top sheet chipping off are banging their skis together on the lift. This is my second season on them and they are in perfect condition.

I mainly ski Utah, Colorado and Idaho. My only complaint is that they don’t hold an edge on ice or plow through crud but that’s not what I bought them for.

Really happy with this package. Adjusting the binding to my boot size was a breeze and allowed me to let a friend try them and they were smiling the whole time. The edge hold was great for the New England firm snow.

The 84mm waist worked surprisingly well for soft spring corn. The tips do not catch the piles and toss you. The weight is just right for longer days. Found myself taking extra runs!.

I had the chance to demo the Salomon QST 106 in both the 181 and 188 length. I ultimately purchased the 181 due to the more playful and quick edge to edge transition vs. the 188. The 188s seemed a bit too heavy for my liking, and I found myself smearing turns more than cutting harder (which I prefer).

For a 6’1-6’2, 170lb guy, who likes to bomb groomers, pick lines in the trees/bumps, and enjoy the fresh CO pow when we are graced with it- the QST 106 handled it all well. I also took out the Nordica Enforcer 104, Elan Ripstick 96, Atomic Bent Chetler 100 and a few pairs in between.

The enforcers felt like you were on rails at high speeds and were incredibly confidence inspiring, but a bit heavy for quicker maneuverability in tighter glades. The ripsticks allowed very quick cuts even in a powder day, but almost stuck too much on edge that they weren’t as fun otherwise.

The bent Chetlers were too light for my liking and speed on groomers, and I often found myself slowing down on less than ideal conditions to avoid losing an edge. Again, after skiing some of these back to back, the QST 106s were a perfect blend of grip and maneuverability, while remaining playful enough that I found I was popping off little bumps with ease making me feel like I was back in my 20s.

For someone who has not plunged into the depths of investing in a multi-pair ski quiver, these skis seem to do it all and are even planned for some light touring this season. My buddy has the previous year and he’s used them several times off resort.

I always recommend trying several pairs before you commit to buying, but if you are in my range of build, ski level, and interest- you’ll be quite happy with these skis, I know I sure am!.

I had a unique experience with these skis. My riding style is Big Mountain, Hard Charging and I was underwhelmed by these. Unfortunately the day I took these out we had little-to-none fresh snow so I could not enjoy these to the fullest so I gave them a 4 star rating, but if I had fresh snow and they performed how they did, I would probably rate them lower.

I’ll start with what I really liked. The float on these would have been amazing. You can tell they were built for that deeper day and meant to be ripped all mountain. The camber profile was good when you could get on edge, however, I found the edge hard to find.

At low speeds they were very good and I felt fully supported through whatever I went through. Here are my drawbacks. I felt like the ski was hard to get on edge and when you were on steeper terrain, the lack of that edge made them hard to stop.

My face made contact with the snow 3 times on these because of this. This could be because I had the wrong size as I feel like a smaller one would have worked for me better but I typically ride an 180-185 so I cannot say for sure.

On hardpack, as I mentioned above, the performance lacked compared to what I was used to. Edge was hard to hook up on and it felt like a burden to start your turns. I will say when you found the edge they were very enjoyable minus some more aggressive chatter.

Finally, they just did not fit my riding style which is something I’m taking into account. If you are a rider who likes deeper snow and smooth turns at lower speeds these are the skis for you. They would truly be a great pair for that kind of day.

I unfortunately did not have that weather. Demo these before you pull the trigger but I could see how the right skier would love them.

Everything about the QST 106 is Solid, clean, and easy to love. The QST lineup is the perfect medium of a soft freeride ski and a hard charger, that can go everywhere, do almost anything, and simply, vibe.

At 5’6″, the 173 is the length I’d pick for wide open spaces, hikes, and basically anything but trees. Before I tried this ski, I watched my friend, fellow reviewer, and probably the best technical skier I know Jarett deftly maneuver steep slopes and rip impeccable carves down runs I could only bumble over.

The point is, I knew the QST was a powerhouse, but experiencing it myself was something else. Carves on the icy snow felt effortless and secure compared to my every day driver which crumbles under the pressure of the extra high speeds I’m drawn to.

When I worked at the Seattle Evo, the QST series was an easy sell for this very reason. If you’re looking for something that’ll do it all without overwhelming your weight, height, skill, style, or number of other factors that impact how we drive skis, the QST 106 is for you.

I’m a “girl,” but the construction has been standardized across genders, so pick what colors and lengths match you best. They SKI SHORT, which means if you’re waffling in between sizes it’s okay to go taller.

Although again, I prefer a shorter ski for the trees so make sure you consider your priorities. Love this ski. If you find yourself overthinking and stuck in between your next quiver addition stop. Come here.

And buy this.

What struck me about the ski, which is now my daily driver, is just how easy and forgiving it was for its relatively damp feel and how well it responds to good technique. It’s not as damp as the new bonafide or M6 Mantra but it is a far more forgiving ski and more versatile off-piste while providing at least a similiar level of dampness.

the mount point at 8. 25 back v 11. 25 back for bonafide and M6 is pretty significant but it still feels like there is enough ski in front of you. Very smooth flex and kind of a unique smooth feel to the ski.

Very good in bumps and tight spaces v. its competitors. Very easy to bend into a turn. As a bigger guy at 6’4 205, I wouldn’t necessarily want longer, but I wonder what another 150 – 200 grams of weight with the same smooth flex pattern would do for dampness? For me, a little added dampness is the only improvement I could think of, but I wouldn’t want it at expense of the ski’s unique smooth feel on good snow.

Great all-mountain ski for all but the deep pow days. Great carver, even with 99 underfoot. Transitions well when I go from carving to slarving and slashing. Handles Northeast ice, corn and packed man made snow with no problems, even better than my Volkl Kendos (90 underfoot) that I was skiing.

Turns much tighter than it should on paper. Artwork is great, and the quality is apparent. You don’t see many 4FRNT skis in the Northeast, and I get compliments from skiers, patrol and the lift guys all the time.

Only critique, and this is probably my fault for hard charging in ****** conditions, is they look a bit beaten up after 10+ ski days but I blame operator error (and one out of control snowboarder LOL).

Outstanding skis. I have the 172 and I’m 5’9”, 140 and reside in NE. Perfect length for me. They do everything well, carving, cutting through crud and pow. We caught 2 dumps while in Utah this March and these skis provided really nice, controllable float in 12-18 inches of powder.

They are damp, responsive, smooth and just feel very planted at all times. They are stiff enough but they have the right amount of flex in the bumps. They are the perfect all mountain ski in my mind.

I also have a pair of Enforcer 100s and these are lighter and more nimble than the enforcers and all around a better ski for me. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. As a bonus, I love the graphics as well.

I was skiing on a 15 year old pair of Volkl G3 skis that at that time were great All Mtn skis for the Sierra, NV and OR/ skiing. So going from a 70mm to the new ski widths I didn’t want to jump too wide since skiing again after a 5 year hiatus.

I absolutely love the stability of these skis at high speeds and the edge-to-edge carving on crud, off-piste,. some fresh powder and hard park/frozen skiing found in ID. One thing i learned skiing Volkl skis is they force you to become a better skier.

With the 3 side cuts for short, medium or long cruiser turns they fit pretty much every type Advanced to Expert skiers. I went with the 170mm as I am 67 yrs old and I don’t need to blast down the hill in racing mode even though these skis will let you do that.

I ski with a few buddies that are on 163 in Mantra or these skis and they all zip down the hill with no problems. I noted one buyer who went with the new Volkl Kango 92mm skies since he felt the 88’s were a downgrade, really, we are talking the 4mm difference = 0.

157 inches!.

Researched my next pair of skis all year long and pulled the trigger when I saw Evo’s amazing end of year sale. While most people moved on to spring activities, I was able to test these out for two late season powder days and some spring groomers at my local mountain in Boise, ID.

These skis are so much fun! They initiate turns on with very little effort and want to be pushed to go fast. They really shine on the hard pack groomers – super stable and easy to get on edge, but have enough float and waist width to be my all mountain skis for many years to come.

Super thrilled with my purchase and a little sad I didn’t get to enjoy these all season long. I sized down slightly to 163 for increased maneuverability in tight spots. For reference I am 5’9″, 140 lbs.

If you are an aggressive, fast skier wanting a one ski quiver – look no further than the Volkl Secret 92!.

These skis are awesome. I have them in the 184 length. They are a great balance of downhill performance and uphill lightness. The small camber with long rocker profile makes this quite forgiving in many different conditions.

It is relatively damp for a ski of this size/weight. Curious how the new 96 waisted version is. This iteration was a home run. Plan on running these into the ground.

From early morning aggressive runs to leg trembling end of day runs this ski can do it all! It’s responsive and poppy when driving in to turns and then stable and effortless when cruising distractedly.

10/10 recommend this ski for any intermediate skier looking to continue growing their skill, or for any advanced/expert skier looking for a quiver killing ski.

Tried these out west at big white as “high performance” rentals and fell in love! So fun and easy, but grab the mountain like nobody’s business so you feel safe and taken care of! Tried them at Blue Mountain in only 3 runs open spring skiing and they were great!!.

My ears prick up and my eyebrows rise when I hear the term “women’s version” but this ski was the surprise of the session. As a self-described”charger” who normally skis something in the 180cm range, the rep’s suggestion that I try the new QST Lux 92 in the 168 seemed curious, but he confirmed he had skied it for 2 days himself.

The Lux was awesome; precise and forgiving at the same time, easy to coax into turns and had excellent grip on the ice. This ski will be a winner for skiers from advanced beginner to expert (women’s version is the same as men’s).

I am an instructor and have worked with a lot of women who are good intermediate skiers, but whose skiing is held back because they don’t have skis designed for them. This is a lightweight and responsive ski but with great vibration control so it holds an edge in variable conditions extremely well.

I bought a pair for my wife who never believed she was good enough a skier to tell the difference between skis, and she was blown away by these skis. Great all mountain intermediate skis for most skiers.

Great style that harkens back to the great classic Rossignol strato skis of the 70’s, a major contributor to the Rossignol legacy.

Rented them as demos at Berkshire East. Had a choice between these and the blackops. Really glad i chose these; great carving on groomed and ice runs. Extremely stable and predictable. The control i had higher speeds was the best i ever experienced.

These are the skis i want to purchase for any groomed East coast skiing. Can’t recommend enough.

These skis are fantastic! I’m a female in my 50’s and I’m 5’6 tall and weigh 115 so I went with 144 length. I am an intermediate level skier. These skis cut well on turns and are light in weight. I absolutely love these skis and would recommend them to above mentioned level skier.

Demo on New Years Day in 20 cm at Tremblant. Closest thing to « fat » I was willing to try. Played trees, bumps. Speed. BOUGHT. Tried again last week at Tremblant. More trees, on piste. held. Loving these.

Today put them on edge in Southern Ontario at Brimacombe. WOW. Seriously held an edge. I am so ecstatic. Women’s skis. Fat skis (by my estimation ). 5’8”, 170 lbs, advanced expert, and powerful. Yes.

I love. And I also have some Redsters. which I would normally be on at Brimacombe man made.

I gifted these skis to 55 year old mother who is a beginner on the slopes so she uses them for greens and some blues in NH and Vermont. She’s expressed multiple times they’re the perfect ski without being heavy but still feeling solid on the ground when carving.

Haven’t had a chance to use these skis, but I’m really looking forward to it! They came packaged safely and are exactly what I was hoping for. Looking forward to the first snow!

As a former NCAA racer and a bigger guy (6′, 220 lbs. ) it can be hard to find a ski that’s stiff enough to make the downhill enjoyable without adding a ton of weight ont he uphill. Scott has broken though for me with the Superguides.

These skis have plenty of downhill juice without a lot of extra weight. I live in Vermont and have skied these in conditions ranging from deep powder to groomers to firm crusty snow. I’m continually amazed by their performance.

If you want a long turn shape, these probably aren’t the perfect ski, although they certainly could wear that hat as well. But if you want a stiff, technical ski without a ton of weight for all sorts of conditions, the Superguides are worth a hard look.

For what it’s worth, I normally spend a few weeks a year skiing in Chamonix and these are the perfect ski high mountain terrain where you need serious trust in your gear. I paired with the Atomic Backland Pure bindings for a very tour-able setup.

Great combination for uphill and downhill performance.

I purchased two composite faux wood blinds for windows that are 8 feet off the ground. First, the pull cords are so short that I can just reach them. I’m 6′ 1″. My wife who is 5″1″, can’t come close.

Second, the blinds from about half way down, only close partially. There is at least a 5/8″ gap between all the slats. There’s no privacy and no shutting out the light. Finally, the valance had to be designed by a jr.

high student. It’s the poorest I’ve ever seen. I have no clue how I would ever get them off (without breaking them) to pull the blinds out of the window. Even with the sale, these were expensive. They are not close to being worth the price.

One positive thing I could say is that they did fit.

I was afraid to order blinds online and screw up the measurements or installation or selection, but my contractor strongly suggested I go to Blinds. com. I ordered 5 blinds, one faux wood and the rest fabric.

I’m so happy with the result! They’re all perfect. My contractor handled the installation which required much stronger skills & tools than I have as my window frames on our old house are concrete. The price was so much less than other local stores and the manufacture time & delivery was quicker than I expected.

Call me a very happy customer!.

I have been using Atomic skis for many years. I had an older pair that was recently stolen 🙁 and while they worked well for me the replacement is an improvement. I went from the Cloud Sevens to the Cloud Nines which are slightly wider/longer.

I am one to stick with what works well for me and these hold true, and the purchasing experience through EVO was phenomenal. I called the tech line with a question and he couldn’t immediately answer it and true to his promise, once he researched a little further, he called me back and I made the purchase.

KUDOS to EVO for product/price/service. I would definitely buy from them again.

I bought this Atomic Skis on Jan 2021 and skied with it many times this past winter. You can ski with full confidence in powder and snow. You can do easy fast turns with this skis. However, this ski is not suitable for icy conditions.

Every time I went on ice it started to lose control and I almost fell down.

These skis are so sleek looking! I love the shiny black and gray look. They’re the perfect length for me and great for going on groomed runs at my favorite ski resort.

On these skis for my second season now. Did season 1 on 186cm and moved down to 179cm for this season. This is a very versatile ski. It can rip groomers as well as float powder, possibly a West Coast quiver of one.

I mounted my new set with demo bindings (Griffons with a 120mm brake). The factory traditional mount point is as far back as you’d want to go. +1 certainly added to the carving ability and helped stabilize the ski on flats.

Traditional mount point had plenty of groomer performance and I think you’d be better off going mid forehead in length with traditional mount for more float rather than forward mount overhead length and fighting too long a ski.

Anyway the ski is light and has lots of float with it’s very wide tip. Lots of tail feel compared to the 100Eight. The firm tail makes if more forgiving if you get too far in the back seat but it’s not as loose as the 100eight.

Not a “hard charger” but it’s easy to ride and hat is a plus in my book. If you already have the 100eight save your money. But if you don’t it’s an easy going versatile lightweight ski that can carve/smear ok as well as float the deep stuff.

I got to try this ski on a groomer day, which I wouldn’t classify as this skis strength. That being said, I was thoroughly impressed with how it handled the groom. Although it has a 106 waist, I was still able to lean into a carve.

The ski is also stiff enough to handle some high speeds. The blaze is super light, which helps make it a little more playful, although I wouldn’t classify it as a poppy playful ski. I would primarily use this ski on days when there is some fresh snow to be had, but I would feel super comfortable laying down some turns in the corduroy.

Although there was a lot that I liked about these skis, they are just to soft for me. I’m an advanced skier weighing 135lbs who skis 70+ days per year. I wanted a more advanced ski with a bit more backbone.

These are great for the all mountain beginner-intermediate skier who loves to cruise. I ended up with the Volkl Secrets for hard charging days and chose the Elan Rip Stick over this ski even though I am a Volkl nut.

If I only skied a dozen days a year, or was traveling to do group casual vacation skiing, this is a great ski.
