Women's All-mountain ski reviews 2019


In this category, we select skis designed for 70% piste and 30% freeride. The qualities required include piste performance (initiation, turn performance and grip, stability, rebound, etc.), comfort, overall versatility and freeride behaviour (flotation in powder, rotation, behaviour in challenging snow conditions). The skis are generally between 82 and 88 mm underfoot with a large tip and rocker, and a relatively straight design.

They're designed for good to excellent riders looking for a highly efficient ski for the groomers that will also take them off-piste when the conditions are right.

The PROSKILAB reviewers were surprised by the excellent all-mountain skis in K2's Pinnacle series, which stood out for their great compromise between facility and performance.

In this "women's all mountain" category, the All-LUvit 88 shines in the same way thanks to its balance and adaptability.

The ski is happy on all terrains. On the piste, it's remarkable for its overall... Read on

Völkl's reputation for all mountain skis is well established. The brand has been at the forefront of the market for several years with products that are benchmarks, like the Mantra or the Kendo for men.


Unlike the brand's best sellers for men, which are geared more towards performance, the Yumi is extremely user-friendly.

The ski is especially happy on the piste. With smooth turn... Read on

The Stormrider 85 stands out on the piste for its excellent grip and outstanding stability. The ski responds powerfully and fast and is comfortable in all areas, especially in long turns.

The Vertis Birdie, with its Freeride DNA, is a perfect match for the PROSKILAB guidelines for this category.

Despite its 85 mm at the waist, the ski can't hide its origins and is particularly comfortable off-piste. The reviewers were full of praise for its fantastic accessibility. Riders who want to discover the joys of the powder without having a stick that's too wide underfoot will simply love it.... Read on

With an impressive 98 mm underfoot, the Great Joy goes way beyond the PROSKILAB guidelines for this category.

This no-surprise freeride-style ski behaves well off-piste and has excellent float in powder.

Its behaviour on the groomed runs is fine, and the PROSKILAB reviewers especially liked the easy turn initiation and stability in long turns at high speed.

On the other hand, the reviewers... Read on

The Santa Ana 93 is the narrowest in the Santa Ana all-mountain and freeski line.

On the groomed runs, the ski was notable for its liveliness and the grip provided by the ski's tail as long as you don't ride it too far forward. The ski is relatively snappy for this category and super fun in short turns.

Off-piste, it floats easily in powder and cuts through chopped-up snow because it has a... Read on
