Women's Cruisers ski reviews 2016


In this category, we select and review skis with a focus on harmony. We look for models that offer a well-balanced mix of performance/comfort/accessibility. These skis perform well but require limited physical engagement, absorb the terrain well, are happy in all snow conditions and all turns, and can easily switch between carving and skid turns.

They're ideal for intermediary to good riders who want to make progress on a very versatile ski, or more experienced skiers who want to ride and enjoy themselves all day long without burning themselves out.

It’s still a good model and we recommend it for intermediate riders who're mainly looking for comfort and pleasure.
