Womens Skis

Shapes, skill levels and the package format

Every ski in this collection is a complete package — slalom ski, front boot and rear toe plate (RTP), matched and ready to ride out of the box. No extra purchases needed to get on the water. Why a womens-specific cut matters. Softer flex tuned to lighter average rider weight, narrower boot last for proper foot fit, shape geometry balanced for typical female proportions. A small mens ski doesn’t ride the same way a properly-cut womens ski does — too stiff, boot too wide, shape designed for a different load profile. Shape categories represented across the range. Beginner / wide body. Radar Womens Session (with Lyric Boa or Prime boot). Wider tip and tail for forgiving starts and easier rides at slower boat speeds. The right choice for first-time single skiers. Intermediate / wide-to-hybrid. Radar Womens Union (with Lyric Boa or Prime). KD Xenon (with Axcess), KD Neon (with Bliss). HO Omni Ultra (with Stance or Atop, in the White colourway). The largest category in this collection — stable and capable, suitable for most recreational womens skiers. Performance. Radar Lyric Alloy (with Prime or Lyric Boa boot). Sharper response than the intermediate range, for confident skiers chasing carve performance. Advanced. Radar Lyric Graphite (with Prime or Lyric Boot). Stiffer construction, more direct response, more demanding to ride. For experienced womens skiers at higher boat speeds. Note on the range. No oversized (Hovercraft-style) or tournament-spec (Vapor-equivalent) womens skis currently in stock. If you’re looking for either end of that spectrum, give the store a call — staff can recommend the right unisex alternative. Boot options. Most skis come with multiple boot choices, because the boot affects feel and response as much as the ski itself. Radar Lyric and Lyric Boa, Radar Prime, HO Stance and Atop, KD Bliss and Axcess are the main options. Mostly open-toe — one size fits a range of foot sizes, easy to share if multiple women in the family ski. Sizing. By rider weight AND boat speed. Beginners and slower-boat skiers go one size longer than the chart for stability and easier starts. Charts on each product page. If unsure, see the slalom ski size guide. Brand spread. Radar dominates with the Session, Union and Lyric ranges. KD covers intermediate (Xenon, Neon). HO has the Omni Ultra in womens colourways. Demo before you buy. Many skis here are part of the Try Before You Buy program — hire over a weekend, hire fees vary by product, and if you buy within 4 weeks the hire fee comes off the sale price.
