Here you’ll find all the men’s skis that we tested this season. There’s a huge variety of skis in here. From dedicated carving and race skis to massive powder skis and lightweight touring skis, there’s certainly something for everyone. We’ve seen some impressive innovations in ski construction in recent years resulting in lighter skis and more refined performance overall. There are a handful of carry-over models from last season, and some with just new graphics and colors, but you’ll also find a whole slew of brand new skis or updated constructions compared to previous years. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need more help determining what model is right for you.

In these sections, you’ll find all the women’s skis we tested. Just like the men’s sections, you’ll find a ton of variety here. Whether you’re a beginner moving away from rental equipment or a seasoned vet looking for your next ride, there’s a ski here for you. We talk about this concept a lot at SkiEssentials.com, but female skiers shouldn’t be afraid to choose “men’s” skis, especially if you’re a more aggressive skier or need a longer length. In fact, many companies actually design their women’s skis the same as the men’s skis. Some are even going as far as just making skis and not signifying a gender at all, like DPS. Others, however, use specific builds and shapes designed for female skiers. Whenever applicable, we will call out whether the “men’s” (we actually prefer “unisex”) are the same as the skis you’ll find here.
