Getting down challenging, natural terrain, away from the piste and the bustling crowd is what freeride is all about. You need to have a set of skis that are stable and capable of handling difficult and mixed terrain. To help you find skis that do just that, here’s a list of our top Women’s freeride skis for 2021.
Elan
Women's Ripstick 94W
The Ripstick 94W has quietly been making a name for itself as one of the very best women’s skis out there, and this new version is about to ramp that up. It’s a freeride ski that is truly happy everywhere on the mountain from groomed pistes to fresh powder, with bumps, trees, slush and anything else in between. The key is the lightweight design and asymmetric Amphibio construction. There is a distinct left and right ski with more camber on the inside edge and increased rocker on the outside; the result is grip on firm snow and ease of use in soft conditions. Carbon reinforcement on the inside improves the precision and edge hold.
K2
Women's Mindbender 88Ti Alliance
Strong female skiers looking for a ski that will perform in all conditions need to consider the Mindbender 88Ti Alliance. A Ti Y-Beam and tuned Correct Flex core deliver power and grip to the edges for control on hard snow but keep the overall flex forgiving and smooth for tricky terrain. At 88mm under foot they are agile on piste but have ample float if you want to explore; the All Terrain Rocker ensures a balanced platform and predictable handling everywhere on the hill.
Nordica
Women's Santa Ana 93
The Santa Ana 93 shares the same name as the previous version but this model takes everything great from the old one and builds on it. True Tip reduces the overall weight and increases the manoeuvrability and playfulness by getting rid of excess ABS material and using more lightweight wood. Carbon Chassis brings the weight down further whilst also improving the strength and the stability. This is an all-terrain ski that shines in anything from hardpack to powder days, the shape makes it feel like a wider ski in soft snow and the construction ensures it deals with pistes and rough conditions.
Line
Women's Pandora 94
The Pandora 94 is for those skiers who see the whole mountain as a playground and need a versatile ski that is fun to use in all kinds of terrain and conditions. Line’s tried and tested Early Rise and Early Taper design ensure excellent handling in any snow, helping boost confidence when things gets tricky. The Aspenlite core and Capwall construction make sure it feels playful but still has the performance necessary for skiing faster, without ever becoming hard to use.
DPS
Women's Yvette A100 RP
The Yvette A100 is a very special ski that feels unique. Alchemist construction uses aerospace grade carbon to keep it impressively light and provide precise handling and a smooth ride. The dimensions mean it’s obviously comfortable in deep snow but the shape ensures it is happy railing turns on piste. The taper and rocker at the nose and tail produce a short effective edge, creating a 15m radius. It’s a different approach to other brands but works brilliantly, delivering comfortable pivots and slides as well as great float in powder and clean carves on hard snow. This is a high-performance ski that makes skiing easier.
