Better Skiing: Women's Skis

Happy Leap Day everyone and welcome to this edition of Better Skiing, I’m Bruce Ruff.
If you’re a female skier you know that buying equipment in the past has been a trying ordeal. Now equipment manufacturers are not just changing the graphics on men’s equipment to suit women but are actually re-engineering skis and boots to accommodate the difference in a woman’s anatomy.

You know that your hip structure is different from a man’s. You know that your heel is narrow and your calf is lower than a man’s. You know flexing a man’s ski is difficult because you are lighter. You know all of this because you have had to deal with these topics for years. Not anymore. Skis are lighter and softer as are the boots, and the actual shape of the ski may differ to accommodate your center of gravity. Finally, there is equipment for women – designed by women. Now you don’t have to struggle with ill fitting boots and stiff skis. Check out your favorite shop for the new women’s equipment.
