GREAT ONE £495

Last year's Women's Ski of the Year, this remains a favourite with women who don't seem to have changed their mind. It's a powerful, properly-constructed ski which is best for decent intermediates and up who are prepared to put a bit of effort in. Once you've powered it up you'll get turns all shapes from sharp to drawn-out and enough width to guarantee all-mountain ability. Pick a length just below head height if you're heading all over the hill.
