Scott Maya review 2013
Women's skis 2013 > Women's advanced Best ski 2013
The testers favourite for 2013, the Scott Maya is an excellent Advanced ski, which is both versatile and impressive, enjoyable and playful. It's a very good choice for both good and very good skiers looking for a one-quiver ski that is fluid and enjoyable in all conditions.
"A very good ski for this category" according to one of our testers. The ski perfectly matches the Women's Advanced category criteria, as we're looking, above all, for a well-balanced, versatile and comfortable ski. The Attraxion 8 Echo is designed for intermediate to good female skiers, with the focus on ease of use.
The Elan Insomnia is a ski for intermediate skiers or even beginners who are looking for comfort and facility.
The K2 is a real success. It's a bit more performance-oriented than the Dynastar Active Light, and is positioned halfway between the ProSkiLab™ Intermediate and Freeride Midfat categories. It's an excellent ski for intermediate sports-oriented riders who're looking for a lively and playful ski.
The Blizzard Utra Sonic is a technical and enjoybale ski for good to very good, sports-oriented skiers, who're looking for high performance. Despite its qualities, it lacks the accessibility, comfort and versatility that's the trademark of the Advanced category.
We were unable to get a unanimous opinion of the Exclusive Elite Light from the reviewers. Some of them found it easy to handle and a good performer, while others were disappointed by the uneven performance in turn initiation and edge control. Best to try out this ski first before buying.
The model we tested suffers from a problem of preparation which hampered the slide qualities and performance so we can't give a reliable review of this model. We'll have to test it again next season.
Easy to handle, enjoyable, and a great performer in carve turns, the ski is not accessible enough for this category. We nonetheless recommend the Attraxion Echo 3 for intermediate riders with a good carving technique as they'll find this an enjoyable and dynamic model.
