The 10 Best Women's Big Mountain Skis of 2027
Shop our full selection of women's big mountain skis.
Big skis for big terrain.
For those of us ladies skiing the steep and deep, the best women's big mountain skis are where you want to be. These women's freeride skis help you float in deep snow, stabilize you in soft chop, all while being versatile enough to navigate hot groomer laps with the pals and zipper bump lines. Between 100mm and 112mm underfoot, they give you the best of both worlds. We love these skis as daily drivers for lady shredders out west dealing with softer snow conditions, or as a powder ski for drier climates. If you run on the lighter and shorter side, these skis are a great option as a dedicated powder ski. These skis are the ideal partner in crime if powder hunting off-trail is your M.O., while still needing something quick enough for daily skiing.
Most women's skis are identical to men's skis, just offered in shorter sizes, especially in the big-mountain category. More and more, skis are becoming unisex, with wider size ranges for different sized skiers. If you have any questions about a specific model, feel free to reach out to us!
