If chasing clean arcs and ripping around piste runs is your thing, then a piste ski is the ultimate choice. To help you make the most of the freshly groomed cordouroy, here are our best Men's and Women's piste skis for the 2022 ski season.
Best Men's Piste Skis
Head Supershape Magnum
- Rocker: Tip Rocker
- Radius: Short
- Construction: Full Sidewall
- Core: Wood, Carbon, Titanal Laminate, Graphene
This latest incarnation of a serial award winner carries on the trend by taking our Piste Ski of the Year award. Like previous versions it has impressive grip, controlled handling and responsive power. The addition of the EMC has made it even smoother, boosting not only groomed piste performance but also chopped conditions and fresh snow. There aren't many piste skis that feel so good on marked runs and there aren't any that deal with other conditions like an e-Magnum.
K2 Disruption Mti
- Rocker: Tip Rocker
- Radius: Medium
- Construction: Full Sidewall
- Core: Wood, Titanal Laminate
Sparkin' arcs. Burning Sidewall. Whatever your flavour, we hope you like skiing fast, because the K2 Disruption MTi is primed and ready. With a longer turning radius, Titanal I-Beam, and Dark Matter Damping, the MTi feels quiet and smooth while maintaining stability throughout every turn shape and snow condition. It's time to go fast. Like really, really fast.
Salomon S/Force Bold
- Rocker: Tip Rocker
- Radius: Medium
- Construction: Full Sidewall
- Core: Wood, Titanal Laminate
The Bold sits at the top of Salomon's very successful S/Force range. It's a ski built for going fast with big, long open turns. The Crossover Tip has the perfect shape that makes slicing or carving through any on piste terrain effortless. It's built with a full wood core, double Titanal laminate and a full ABS sidewall to really boost the power to a maximum and provide total stability at top speeds. This version comes with the brilliant race-inspired X12 binding.
XO Skis XO 77 V3
- Rocker: Tip Rocker
- Radius: Short
- Construction: Full Sidewall
- Core: Wood
The XO 77 V3 is a lightweight piste performance ski with a special touch of class and exclusivity. The V3 shares the same shape and construction as the V7 with a narrow waist and short sidecut radius for slalom style handling. However, the V3 has had a tweak in its core for the perfect amount of precision and edge hold for top end speed on firm snow. It's a must for anyone looking to achieve carving perfection. Exclusive to Ellis Brigham in the UK.
Salomon S/Force 7
- Rocker: Tip Rocker
- Radius: Medium
- Construction: Semi Sidewall
- Core: Wood
Salomon’s S/Force 7 is the ideal choice for intermediates who want a piste ski that will cruise round all day with smooth carves and easy handling. The shape makes turning effortless and the width ensures stability even when the snow isn’t perfect. It’s a ski great to relax on but also to push your skills and mix up the turn shapes, thanks to its surprising grip and just how comfortable it is at speed.
Best Women's Piste Skis
Head Real Joy
- Rocker: Tip Rocker
- Radius: Short
- Construction: Full Sidewall
- Core: Wood, Composite, Graphene
The Real Joy is sure to do well thanks to the blend of easy handling and fun performance. It's a piste ski for mixing up the speeds and the slopes; simple to ski when the energy levels drop, fast and responsive when the mood takes you. The light construction of wood core and Graphene keeps the weight down but also makes it lively. The narrow waist of 73mm and short radius provide quick tums with ERA 3.0 ensuring hassle-free control.
K2 Anthem RX
- Rocker: Tip Rocker
- Radius: Short
- Construction: Full Sidewall
- Core: Wood, Carbon
Exclusive to Ellis Brigham in the UK, the Anthem 74RX delivers top performance skiing on groomed snow, without being punishing to use. Its 74mm waist makes switching from edge to edge efficient and snappy. The BIOkonic Carbon core and Correct Flex are designed to work specifically with female biomechanics and overcome the overly stiff flex pattern that shorter skis can have. Speed Rocker helps smooth out the ride on a ski that doesn't mind pushing the limits on piste.
Salomon S/Max 8 W
- Rocker: Full Camber
- Radius: Short
- Construction: Semi Sidewall
- Core: Wood, Titanal Laminate
With shaping influenced by the race department and a user-friendly construction the S/Max 8 W is the perfect choice for aspiring piste skiers. Edge Amplifier helps maintain grip throughout the turn by transferring maximum power to the edge and just the right amount of rocker allows turn initiation to be effortless for fluid linked carves on groomed snow.
Atomic Cloud 9
- Rocker: Tip Rocker
- Radius: Short
- Construction: Full Sidewall
- Core: Wood, Composite, Titanal laminate
With light, easy handling and sporty performance the Cloud 9 is one of the best selling skis globally and this latest version is set to carry the tradition on. An improved shape has resulted in a slightly longer radius and an even better stability so it feels more comfortable whether cruising, speeding or dealing with rougher snow. Full sidewalls ensure good grip on firm conditions, a wood core adds response and the Servotec Light smoothes the ride.
Salomon S/Force 7 W
- Rocker: Tip Rocker
- Radius: Short
- Construction: Semi Sidewall
- Core: Wood
Much like the men's version the S/Force W 7 is a piste cruiser extraordinaire, happy to just take it easy and glide around or to be pushed and worked harder. The key is the shape, the long nose and slight rocker make turn initiation hassle-free at any speed, the width underfoot adds stability and the size of the tail helps with clean turn completion. It's firm enough that it's happy at speed, but not so stiff that it is hard to use.
