2027 Salomon S/Max N4 Skis with Dalbello Veloce 75 MV Boots and Poles

Women who spend their days on groomers are the target for the Salomon S/Max N4 XT. A poplar wood core, semi-sandwich sidewalls, and a 76 mm waist add up to a light, easy-handling frontside ski that gets on edge without much input, and the tuned flex keeps it forgiving through the mistakes that come with learning to carve. Intermediates get a patient platform for turning practice runs into real technique. [boot PKG overview]

Who it's for:

Women who spend their days on groomed trails and are working toward consistent carved turns. The tuned flex suits intermediates building technique rather than skiers already carving hard.

Things to consider:

A ski built to be patient has a ceiling, and a woman who starts carving with real intent will want more support. Narrow frontside skis also have nothing to give in soft snow, so powder days mean a second pair.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Sizing at or a touch below the skier's height keeps this ski easy to bring around, which is what supports the practice it's designed for. As turns become repeatable, a longer pair starts to make sense for the extra steadiness it brings at speed.
