Radius:10.5 Demensions 103/82/119
Blizzard Bonafide 97
K2 Mindbender 99 Ti W
The K2 Mindbender 99Ti W is a women’s-specific all-mountain freeride ski built for those who demand both complete versatility and stability day-in and day-out. Equipped with Titanal Y-Beam construction the 99Ti offers a damp and stable ride for when speeds are high, and conditions get choppy. At a more versatile width, the Mindbender 99Ti still maintains its big mountain power. Its vertical sidewall construction improves power transfer edge-to-edge keeping you charging down the fall line all day long. Outfitted with an all-terrain rocker that delivers added control and agility for when you find yourself in those tight spots. The Mindbender 99Ti W is the ultimate champion of versatility in a powerful package.
Salomon Stance 96
The marquee ski in Salomon’s all-mountain Stance line, the 96 is unrivaled in strength-to-weight ratio. This all-mountain driver offers a butter-smooth ride at any speed. Two titanal plates run the length of the ski to provide impressive edge grip when the going gets firm, and release torsional stiffness for poppy, powerful turns. Radius: 19 Dimensions: 126_94_108
Völkl Kenja 88
If you don’t want to choose between piste and powder, between moguls and groomed carving slopes, then the Kenja 88 with its revised geometry is the perfect partner for every occasion. This all-mountain freerider with state-of-the-art build is suitable for female skiers who value performance but don’t want to be confined to piste or terrain. Its impressive carving performance is due to the three different radii in the 3D Radius Sidecut. Different parts of the ski are involved at different speeds and as the edges are engaged and disengaged, helping it manage different turns, terrains and forces perfectly. The tip and tail rocker makes initiating turns smoother and forgives mistakes on slopes deep with powder or crud. The centre radius is shorter by a metre, allowing the ski to be steered with noticeably less effort. With the Kenja 88 beneath your feet, you can take on everything the mountains have to offer. Radius: 13 Dimensions: 113/88/129
Völkl Secret 96
A ski for demanding freeride girls who take things to the limits under any conditions and want a ski they can rely on all the way from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley – and which leaves them with enough left in the tank to party hard at the après ski. Radius: 13m Dimensions: 135_96_11
Völkl Kendo 88
This is an all-mountain freerider with a state-of-the-art build that can be used for so many different things by experienced skiers who relish powerful turns on any terrain and on any piste. Like the new Mantra and Kenja, the Kendo 88 comes with revised geometry and a one metre shorter centre radius in its 3D Radius Sidecut. The key is that the three different radii combined in one ski make for enormously versatile cornering. The new 16 m radius in the middle further increases its radius variability. Thrills await if you love tight turns cut fully on the edge. This ski encourages a sporty, intuitive style on groomed slopes, but also provides the manoeuvrability you need to get through challenging terrain. Less force is required too, thanks to a shorter centre radius. This season, the Kendo 88 also features Tailored Carbon Tips and a Tailored Titanal Frame. So if it wasn’t clear already, there can now be no doubt that fun is the Kendo’s middle name. Radius: 15 Dimensions: 111/8/129
Völkl M6 Mantra
How do you improve a legend? You retain the features that made the ski famous and add the latest innovations, which allow progress where a year ago you couldn’t see any room for improvement. The Mantra M6 again comes with a multilayer wood core and tip and tail rocker. But in the coming season, the newly designed ski body will, for the first time, be adapted to a 3D radius sidecut concept with a tailored Titanal frame. By adapting the Titanal components to the various ski lengths and thus to the skier’s proportions, not only can the tip and tail ends be weight-optimised, but the torsional stiffness can also be influenced, thereby improving the ride qualities. This retains the familiar stability of a Titanal ski while also making the Mantra M6 noticeably lighter and more agile to control. The handling characteristics of the Mantra M6 are also enhanced by the tailored carbon tip. The dedicated positioning of the carbon fibres results in a precise tip response and vastly improves the ski’s torsional stiffness. In summary, the Mantra M6 is even more versatile than its predecessor and once again offers maximum fun! Radius: 21 Dimensions: 135_96_119
Volkl KANJO 84
With an 84 mm waist, the Kanjo offers a lively yet stable feel for cruising on piste thanks to its Titanal binding platform and new 3D radius sidecut. Its glass frame and tip and tail rocker design also give it an effortless surfing feel. The Kanjo is the perfect on-piste ski for off-piste skiers who dig piste skiing but never want to be regarded as on-piste skiers. If you’re a freeskier looking for an on-piste ski suitable for freeriding that offers fun and performance, the Kanjo is for you. Radius(m): 17 Dimensious: 125_84_107
