This ultralight all-carbon carver is a great all-mountain choice for women who don’t want to work too hard pushing a heavier wood-core ski around. Best suited to well-manicured groomers—think sunny mornings on blue cruisers—it doesn’t have the width for more than a few inches of powder, and crud can send this featherweight stick bouncing. It dives eagerly into arcs and pulls confidently across the hill. Highly maneuverable, it prefers medium speeds. Skis this light can take some getting used to, but you’ll be surprised at the energy you’ll save.

Responsive and eager to set an edge, this quick little number rips slalom turns with security and grace and doesn’t chatter at speed. But it’s forgiving, too—great for mellow weekend resort skiers who occasionally duck into the trees. Lightweight testers found it easy to turn without much muscle. Its stability and tracking enabled testers to work on two-footed carving technique. One tester called them “the Scarlett Johansson of skis: lush, curvy, and easy to look at.”

The Diamond put our women in a companionable mood—they called it “approachable,” “adaptive,” “friendly,” and “unintimidating.” Though it sports a relatively narrow waist and traditional camber, it smeared surprisingly well and seemed happiest dabbling in trees and bumps. It’s comfortable running slowly or with haste, and it’s easy to initiate. Hardpack performance is smooth and fluid. Medium turns are its preferred mode.
