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.
