Salomon Mountain Explore 88 Skis - Women's

If you ski on groomed runs almost exclusively, this is the category you want to look at. On-Piste skis are designed to be used on groomed runs and will generally be shorter than skis used Off-Piste. Considerations: Heavier skiers will want to size up from the suggested length here as they will generate more force when going down and will benefit from a longer ski. Lighter skiers should also consider sizing down.

If you like to ski groomed snow, mixed snow and powder, this category will help you get the right size. Considerations: Heavier skiers and skiers who spend more time off-piste will want to size up from the suggested length to get the most out of their skis. Lighter skiers will also want to consider shorter skis to get the best experience.

If you're staying away from groomed runs and hardpack snow, this category will help you get the right size. Off-Piste skis are designed to float in powder and mixed conditions. They are wider and longer to provide the most float and control. Considerations: Skis in this category may have a large amount of Rocker, which will make the ski feel shorter than it is. Powder specific, full-rockered skis can be bought in a longer size to provide maximum floatability. Heavier and more experienced skiers should size up in order to get the best performance out of their skis. Lighter skiers will want to size down to get the most out of their skis.
