Women's Cruisers ski reviews 2020
In this category, we select and review skis with a focus on harmony. We look for models that offer a well-balanced mix of performance/comfort/accessibility. These skis perform well but require limited physical engagement, absorb the terrain well, are happy in all snow conditions and all turns, and can easily switch between carving and skid turns.They're ideal for intermediary to good riders who want to make progress on a very versatile ski, or more experienced skiers who want to ride and enjoy themselves all day long without burning themselves out.

Rossignol Nova 14 Ti review 2020
Women's skis 2020 > Cruisers Best ski 2020
For women's skis (just as with men's), in this "Cruiser" category we select skis that have an overall quality of consistency. We are not looking for the most high performance or the most accessible skis on the market, we are looking for those which offer a balance between efficiency, comfort, ease of use and versatility.

Dynastar Speed Elite review 2020
Women's skis 2020 > Cruisers Best performance!
Last year's "Best Ski", the Dynastar Speed Elite has been dethroned this year by a more versatile and consistent model.

The Flair SC (Slalom Carver) is defined by Völkl as being "a rigid but light piste ski, made for short turns".
The overall performance is good, although not the best in the category. The testers enjoyed the compromise between performance and comfort: "not too rigid" but with a "good rebound".
The ski is "easy and fun", especially suited to short turns but... Read on
Kästle's DX73 W "Vogue" is a women's version of the men's DX73. The testers tried the ski very short (156cm) and would have preferred having a few extra centimetres in edge length.
Without a doubt, it is the accessibility of the ski that is its best quality. Put simply, it is excellent. Judged particularly "easy to handle", the DX73 W doesn't need special instructions,... Read on
The Anthem is a new series of women's all round/piste skis from K2. The Anthem 80 is the second widest ski in the range.
It's a soft ski, which has its advantages and inconveniences.
As it is easy to flex, it's a very accessible ski which is easy to turn and at ease in skid turns. The lightness is also an advantage.
The lack of rigidity becomes more apparent when the rhythm picks... Read on
