Blizzard Viva Power 350 review 2014
Women's skis 2014 > Women's intermediate Best ski 2014
The Viva Power 350 is an athletic ski. Slightly more demanding than the other skis in the freeride category, our testers loved it. Its performance positions it between the Versatile Freeride and the Advanced categories. An excellent choice for athletic skiers from more or less good to very good indeed, and who're looking for a ski that's easy to use, enjoyable and extremely efficient.

SportmaniaDynastar Neva 74 review 2014
Women's skis 2014 > Women's intermediate Best ski 2014
Like the Mya 5, the Neva is a perfect ski for making progress, and is very well positioned in this category. The model is highly accessible and will help beginners and intermediate skiers to make good progress.

Blizzard Viva7.7 Susp review 2014
Women's skis 2014 > Women's advanced Best ski 2014
It may not be very playful, but the Viva 7.7 is fluid, very easy to use, enjoyable, and a wonderful toy that you won't get tired of. Its accessibility and level of performance make it an ideal ski for the Advanced category, and we heartily recommend it for a wide range of skiers, from intermediate to expert.

Head MYA 5 review 2014
Women's skis 2014 > Women's intermediate Best ski 2014
The MYA 5 is the ideal ski for this category. Accessible to all, it will help its owner advance to the next level, especially when carving out turns.
There's no doubt that the Unique 6 from Rossignol is highly accessible. It loses some points for its lack of grip though, which meant it just missed out on "the reviewers' recommendation." However, it remains a good friend for beginners and experienced skiers looking for ease-of-use above all else.

SportmaniaK2 Supersticious review 2014
Women's skis 2014 > Women's advanced Best performance!
The Supersticious, manufactured by K2, means you can hit the slopes on Friday 13 without your heart in your mouth. It's an incredibly efficient ski, which is nonetheless comfortable and versatile. Recommended for technically skilled riders who want performance without sacrificing comfort.

Stöckli Spirit Motion review 2014
Women's skis 2014 > Women's advanced Best performance!
The ultimate pleasure/performance ski, the Spirit Motion is designed to rip across the slopes, linking long turns till the sun goes down. The ski requires a good technique, so we recommend it for expert riders who enjoy speed and performance.
The Rossignol is a docile ski that does what you ask of it, but no more! Globally efficient but not particularly playful, it's a ski for intermediate riders who want a model that gives them confidence and is designed for serious practice.
It also loses points for its lack of athletism. The K2 Supersmooth is nonetheless a good ski for beginners and intermediate skiers looking for a 'cool' ski. More technical or athletic skiers will probably prefer a different model.
While the Mya 5 did well in the Intermediate category, the Mya 6 was disappointing in the Advanced category, where, despite its unquestionable accessibility, it lost points for its overall lack of performance and insufficient comfort in carving.
Easy and comfortable in skids at medium speeds, the Elite Light is far less comfortable once you begin to hot up the pace. This is a good model for beginner to intermediate riders who mainly want to develop their skidded turns.
