Sierra says: For 09 the Burnin' Luv has gotten a major upgrade with the change to a sidewall/laminate construction. In years past, the BL has had a rap of not being stout enough for some very aggressive skiers or those who regularly deal with east coast ice. With this new build, that has all changed for the better. The new BL has more grip, more stability and more energy than in the past. For...

Katherine says: The K2 Burnin Luv has an assortment of talents to offer the advanced to the ez-expert women skier. It handles everything from groomed trail, to moguls, to crud. Its real talent is having a damp, predictable ride that promotes confidence and reliability in its rider. Overall, because of its width underfoot, this ski really shines on piste and has the ability to make variety of t...

Sierra says: The Lotta (like the unisex Recon) has been the best selling women's on road/off road ski for some years now. This is a crowd pleaser for many reasons. Lotta is smooth, stable and quiet on the roughest snow imaginable. The K2 Mod dampening system makes this ski the "Cadillac" of the skis in this category. The LL is softer than some other women's expert skis in this ...

Sierra says: The One Luv is amazingly comfortable in a wide variety of snow conditions. The waist width @ 74mm is wide for the 90/10 category and when combined with the fairly soft flex makes this the easiest of the 90/10 skis in variable conditions. This, like all K2's has a smooth, stable, and quiet ride over rough snow. While not as nimble as some lighter skis, the One Luv pays the skier b...

Katherine says: The K2 Phat Luv with its PHAT figure is a true "powder tool" in the crud and deeper snow. Offering smooth and stable manageability off-piste, the Phat Luv is a solid partner for the expert female skier. Thanks to its unique construction, that offers stronger wood underfoot for stability along with lighter wood in the tip and tail for easier control, the Phat Luv emanat...

Sierra says: Here is another K2 that has been the sales leader in it's category since it was introduced. The Phat Luv takes the middle ground in most of it's characteristics with a great blend of width, flex, shape and weight to give women a Big Mountain ski with some potential for all around use. Among women's specific skis this is one of the wider offerings and the flotation and s...

Sierra says: For an entry level ski they don't get much sweeter then the K2 Sweet Luv. Easy and fun to ski while still allowing you to learn the basics well. For somebody that may not get up very often or is just looking to get out of the rental line the K2 Sweet Luv is a great ski for that.

Sierra says: The Sweet Luv gets a new shape this year with a wider waist and a notably wider tip. This gives the aspiring skier more shape to work with as she develops turning skills and starts to break the skidding style of the lower level skier and learn the more Carve oriented style of the intermediate. The Sweet has less of the secondary "Mod" core material and thus is lighter and le...

Sierra says: The Tough Luv is K2's 50/50 ski in the Women's category. This one qualifies as a wide cruiser for a pretty aggressive skier. The TL is not terribly stiff, but it is wide and fairly heavy so nimbleness in bumps is not its forte'. However, those qualities make the TL stunningly stable in soft, deep, and especially broken snow. I felt that the progressive sidecut enabled t...

Sierra says: The Tru Luv is K2's classic "recreational" ski. To many, that might mean a pretty nondescript performer or an unsophisticated construction. In this case, that wouldn't be accurate. The Tru Luv still has much of the "Mod" dampening technology of the higher level skis. This technology makes the Tru Luv smoother than most other offerings in the mid-price ran...

For the past few years the K2 True Luv has been one of the leading intermediate skis on the market. With a nice balance between ease of turns and stability the True Luv for many intermediate women skiers a great ski. It is not so light that you can feel uncomfortable at higher speeds or steep terrain and at the same time the True Luv is not so heavy that when you are walking from the car to the re...

The Attraxion III returns to the Rossi lineup unchanged from last year. This is a ski that fits the term "all mountain cruiser" to a 'T’ The A-3 is fairly firm in flex but has enough shape to turn easily at moderate speeds. This ski is at its best in medium and even long turns and rides exceptionally quiet on the hardest snow. The grip is enough for all but the most aggressive advan...

A great low priced alternative to get you out on the snow and having a great time skiing, the Rossignol Passion is your ticket. If you're looking for a reason to get out on the groomers and to stop sitting in the bar while everyone else is out in the fresh air having fun, then look no further. The Passion will get you there.

The Voodo is an entirely new ski that replaces both of the prior B2 and B3 models. This is an exceptionally versatile ski that was built with the 70/30 skier in mind. Like most Rossis of the past, the Voodo has a light and easy feel. Where the Voodo improves on the prior offerings is in energy and stability. The new lightweight milled wood core delivers a snappier feel than the prior skis and the ...

Sierra says: If its good enough for Sarah Burke its good enough for you. The Roxy Broomstix is a hard hitting mid fat ski that will hit rail, jumps and the pipe, then when you ready to hit the backcountry the Broomstix will kill it there too. With a waist width of 86mm the Broomstix has definitely got a sweet spot for a one ski quiver. ***Bindings Not Included***

With spring blade technology this ski has incredible energy for jumps and com...

Sierra says: Last season the Joyrider was one of Sierra Skis most popular womens skis. The Joyrider is a 70/30 ski with a waist width of 74mm. There is a common misconception about Roxy, that they are ski for teenagers this is simply not true. The Joyrider is a perfect example of how Roxy knows what to do to build a great ski, in 2008 it was ski of the year. With a great balance between high speed...

Sierra says: The Roxy Juicy is the perfect escape route out of the rental line. With an easy going flex that will easily let you progress quicker with ease and comfort you will have a sweet ride. This ski would be a great ski for a teenager that is too big for junior skis but at the same time is not quite advanced enough to ski more aggressive adult skis. With a 70mm waist width this 90/10 ski wil...

Sierra says: The Roxy NX10 is a great binding for any intermediate to advanced women skier that is looking for a binding to mount on a flat ski. This binding was specifically designed to be used on a freeride/freestyle ski. With the addition of a wider break, light weight construction and compression pads under the foot this binding is not only durable but also a great addition to any flat mid-fat...

This ski has a Carbon Y structure that allows intermediate skiers to turn with ease. Along with a forward mounting position this ski makes turning effortless.

Sierra says: The Crystal is back from last year unchanged except for a new graphic. This is a nice step above an entry level ski for the woman just getting into the sport or for a more seasoned but cautious skier. When you go up the line from beginner skis, you get more edge grip, stability, and dampening. Taken in the proper doses these attributes won't hold back a novice but will also give ...

Sierra says: The Topaz returns from '07-'08 with a new graphic but is unchanged otherwise. This is another ski that bears the Salomon family characteristics. Light, nimble, and energetic are the hallmarks of the Topaz. This is a 90/10 ski with a moderate shape and enough edge grip and stability for most skiers up to the solid advanced level. The Topaz has a fairly conservative sidecut an...
