Women's Allround

Damen AllroundIf you don't insist on dashing down the slope like our world-cup ladies these are the skis to go for!

Damen Allround Meanwhile the lady Carvers show that they are in top form – the range of skis available within the respective product lines perfectly matches the needs of female skiers and permits a very individual choice of skis.

Effortless handling, high amount of running stability and easy turning are the characteristics of these skis. And that they very generously display their visual charms may also spark some interest for the men.  
 
Criteria:
long turn, short turn, edge hold, running smoothness, overall effort to handle

Our severe testers include among others Martina Lechner from the Austrian national ski team, the former Slovenian world cup racer Urska Hrovat, public relations consultant Evelyn Rupperti, the Polish journalists Katazyna Ceglowska and Agnieszka Harat as well as students from the skiing and commercial school in Schladming and the skiing and hotel management school in Bad Hofgastein. Damen Allround

Elan Wave Magic Fusion Average: 36.4 Rating: Very good
DA07_Elan
Manufacturer's description Tester's opinion
The Magic Series has been designed primarily for intermediate to advanced skiers of a more classical inclination, with a taste for exclusivity.
Not wanting to exclude those starting out, the Silver Magic is ideal for beginner and recreational skiers with a taste for on-slope adventures. The Black Magic is a versatile ski that performs exceptionally when paired with skiers of intermediate to advanced ability thanks to its Reflex Sidecut. The Wave Magic features WaveFlexä and Lithium technology for high speed carving performance and durability, while the Speed Magic is a ski aimed at all on-slope experts – all of whom will love the WaveFlexä Technology and RST Sidewall construction delivering unparalleled carving performance.
He, or better said she, who likes to perform short turns with ease would be completely accurate in selecting the Elan Wave Magic Fusion. Besides, this exceptionally smooth running model secured 5th place at the Snow Style Awards.

Voelkl Agua Average: 35.3 Rating: Very good
DA07_Voelkl
Manufacturer's description Tester's opinion
Sun, wind, air and water - VÖLKL have also used innovative technology in the other elements of the new ATTIVA family. SOL, VIENTO, AIRE and AGUA have a brand new combination of Power Grip ski construction and 3Motion ski bindings. The new Power Grip construction that's interrupted in the binding area allows the contact between the ski boot and the edge to become even more direct. The fully integrated 3Motion binding system is embedded directly above the edges in the Power Grip construction, over four contact points. It creates a rounded ski flex in the sensitive binding area that has never been achieved before. VÖLKL has fitted the models with a new, active ADS dampening system for a smoother skiing experience. The Full Sensor Wood Core gives SOL a compact and energy-packed touch, while VIENTO, AIRE and AUGUA have more relaxed dynamics and sporty, but not too aggressive characteristics. With these balanced qualities they are best suited to sporty pleasure skiers. The Völkl did not disappoint, resonating soundly with almost all of our testers. The model received particularly high scores on long turns and edge stability.

Radius: 12,5 m Long turns 7.2
Tip/Waist/Tail: 117-72-103 Shorter turns 6.9
