Belle

The Bella has been the best-selling women’s ski and a staple of the lineup for nearly two decades—for good reason. Born to play in powder, its deep rocker lines, progressive mount, and twin-tipped profile let you pivot, slash, and frolic in the fluff. While camber underfoot and a long effective edge make no issue of laying trenches when things firm up.

Here’s the deal though: While the Bella is without a doubt the cult-favorite, must-have women’s model—so much so that we’d recommend you try it regardless of what you might think you need or want in a ski—that isn’t just a sales pitch, it’s a well-earned reputation.

Don’t believe us? As around, you’ll see. Plenty of ladies out there picked up a pair to compliment a daily driver only to find that more often than not, a pair of Bellas on their feet is the only way to play. Surprisingly nimble and impressively stable the Bella makes a mid-fat pow ski feel more like a do-all, be-all, toss-em-in-the-hatchback-and-forget-the-forecast kind of ride.

We won’t go so far as to say it’s the daily driver for everyone, just know that this ain’t no powder-specific ski to keep in the back of the closet under lock and key. Try a pair, you’ll see.
