“
The Blizzard Black Pearl is one of our favorite women's all mountain skis, and another winner in the Blizzard Flipcore line that we really love.
Like the Blizzard Kabookie, this ski forgoes a metal laminate to reduce weight and make for a livelier, less stiff ride, without going too soft like some women's skis out there. This is certainly not a "shrink it and pink it" treatment for...” --Start Haus

“The Aura remains unchanged since it's inception, with the exception of Volkl discontinuing the 177cm size for 2008-2009, and for good reason....it's a versatile, powerful, rock solid women's ski that does almost everything exceptionally well. I demoed the 2007-2008 in the 163cm, own the 2006-2007 in 177cm (purchased used), and wish I could afford to own both sizes. Discontinuing the 177cm was a...” --volklgirl

At 84mm. underfoot the K2 Superstitious could be the one ski that makes the other sizes in your quiver redundant. I find I choose this Super Model 4 out of 5 days because they're almost always the most appropriate for the conditions of the day. The ski is a tip-to-tail turner that rewards assertive driving but can be punishing if you lose focus. If you are a strong skier looking to buy...” --nolo

If you're a recreational lady skier looking to feel more comfortable on the mountain (i.e., you appreciate the beauty of those extreme ski photos posted all over the resort brochures, but they still scare the bejeezus out of you), the K2 T Nine Sweet Luv Alpine Ski is one sweet solution. You're working hard at polishing your turns on the groomers, and perhaps make the occasional...

“I demoed the Lotta Luv in January of 2008. I was not impressed. I found it too soft and damp for my liking, it got knocked around in the cut up crud quite a bit, and it had a definite speed limit where it just shut down. That said, I found that it had a HUGE sweet spot, it was calm and confidence inspiring at slower speeds, it maneuvered easily at slow speeds, it carved nicely on the groomers...” --volklgirl

The Salomon Lux is a ski that is sure to inspire women who are ready to get off the groomers and explore more of the mountain. The forgiving flex and playful shape of this ski made it fun to play in the bumps, stable in the variables that popped up and was easy to ski the groomers when it was time to head back to home base.
I think Salomon is on the right track with this...” --Trekchick

Review:
When I got off the chair lift, before making the first turn, I felt that the Temptation 88 was stable with a solid platform, which translates to forgiveness in a lot of skis. Then I made my first turn and was surprised by the quickness.....I mean, really surprised. After recovering from the shock of the first turn, I proceeded as usual on my test route,...” --Trekchick
