How to choose your women's ski + bindings package
Choosing a ski + bindings package suited to your body type and skill level is essential to fully enjoy the thrill of skiing. Today, manufacturers offer women-specific technologies that improve comfort, performance, and safety.
1. Define your skiing program
First, identify your main practice:
- Piste: For mostly groomed slope use. Opt for skis with a waist under 80 mm, offering good grip on hard snow.
- All-Mountain: If you alternate between piste and off-piste. Choose versatile skis with a waist between 80 and 95 mm.
- Freeride: For powder lovers. Prefer wide skis (waist over 95 mm) for better floatation.
- Freestyle: If you enjoy jumps and tricks. Look for twin-tip skis that are light and easy to maneuver.
2. Choose the right ski length
Ski length depends on your level, height, and skiing program:
- Beginner: Shorter skis (5 to 10 cm below your height) make learning easier.
- Intermediate: Skis at your height offer a good balance between control and stability.
- Expert: Longer skis (up to 10 cm above your height) provide more speed and stability.
3. Understand women-specific technologies
Women’s skis include adapted technologies:
- Flexibility: Softer flex for better handling.
- Weight: Lightweight materials to ease movement.
- Binding positioning: Moved forward to match women’s center of gravity.
- Design: A variety of patterns and colors combining performance and style.
4. Select the right bindings
Bindings should match your level and discipline:
- DIN setting: Adjusted according to your weight and skill level.
- Compatibility: Make sure your boots are compatible with the chosen bindings.
- Binding type: For freeride or touring, specific bindings are recommended.
