These skis don’t just shrink it and pink it, they are designed to be quick, nimble, versatile and aggressive across a range of terrain and conditions. Buckle up; the 2027 women’s skis are ready for fast and firm groomers, winter’s deepest days and everything in between. 

Icelantic Tempest 94

Lengths 155, 162, 169, 176 cm

DIM 135-94-119 mm

Radius 14 m @ 169 cm

Following a successful redesign of its Nomad line, Icelantic is showcasing another major overhaul for 2027. The new Tempest replaces the directional Riveter, bringing a livelier core, increased camber and an exciting shape that truly makes it stand out in the directional all-mountain category.

K2 Mindbender 96 W

Lengths 153, 158, 163, 168, 173 cm

DIM 135-96-123 mm

Radius 16m @ 168 cm

The younger sibling to K2's Mindbender 101 W, this ski has been entirely redesigned for girls who want a damp and versatile ride that's fun in any snow condition. We're talking a new shape, profile, core construction and most importantly, new damping tech, which delivers in spades.

Head Kore 99 TI W

Lengths 156, 163, 170, 177 cm

DIM 132-99-121 mm @ 170 cm

Radius 15.6 m @ 170 cm

Last year, Head updated the shapes, rocker profiles, core constructions and flex profiles of the Kore series. Those updates brought unrelenting all-mountain performance and returned unchanged for 2027. Going the opposite direction of many other brands, Head decided to beef up the collection, making it quite appealing to demanding riders.

Armada Antimatter 100 W

Lengths 154, 161, 168, 175 cm

DIM 130-100-120 mm @168 cm

Radius 16 m @ 168 cm

The brand-new Antimatter line from Armada is the result of direct feedback from the brand's athletes, especially Max Palm. The Antimatter series blends directional stability with Armada's freestyle DNA to create a directional freeride ski that's still made to jib. This lady commands your immediate attention with a shape that instantly grabs hold when laid on edge.

Liberty Horizon 100

Lengths 159, 167, 173 cm

DIM 135-100-123

Radius 15 m @ 159 cm

Debuting as the widest ski in Liberty's growing Horizon collection, the Horizon 100 brings the line's damp, powerful character to a wider range of terrain. This ski is designed to reward a skier who lives in the front of their boots and prioritizes carving performance.

Blizzard Sheeva 10

DIM 133.5-102-122.5 mm @ 174 cm

Radius 16.5 m @ 174 cm

The Sheeva 10 is arguably the most underrated player in Blizzard's lineup. A Jill of all trades, the Sheeva 10 balances the ability to drive with speed and aggression with a more approachable personality for the average rider.

Atomic Maven 103 CTI

Lengths 156, 162, 170, 178 cm

DIM 128.5-103-117.5 mm @ 162 cm

Radius 16 m @ 162 cm

Sporting a fresh topsheet design for 2027, the Maven 103 returns with its big-mountain capabilities intact in a lightweight package. These skis are geared toward girls who prioritize turn technique over everything else, which is why you'll see professional big-mountain skiers like Amie Engerbretson gravitating toward them.

K2 Mindbender 101 W

Lengths 157, 164, 171 cm

DIM 130-101-122 mm
