The new Icelantic Nia Pro is the result of some series R&D between the Icelantic women's pro team. Fully rockered and relatively stiff, it blends strength with playfulness. Super pivoty in bumps and trees yet strong on groomers. This ski is a staff favorite among Powder7's women. Heck, our marketing guy considered buying one in the 177cm size!
The Nordica Santa Ana 104 Free gives freeride-loving women skiers their own version of the wildly popular Enforcer 104 Free. Lighter-weight with more rocker than the Santa Ana 100, the 104 Free is even more fun in soft snow and just as strong in crud and mixed snow. It's hard to beat this ski.
The Salomon QST 106 Stella is a name that's been at the top of the women's big-mountain category for several years, and it's better than ever. The same ski as the men's version (which Cody Townsend skis in his 50 Project), the Stella does everything. Surfy, playful, stable, reliable, fast, slow -- it's a real freeride ski for real freeride women.
And lastly, the Elan Ripstick 102 W. This is the widest version of the women's Ripstick series, and it's been a shop favorite since Elan initially released it. Light enough to tour and strong enough to be a daily resort driver, it checks all the boxes for big-mountain skiing in 2021.
