Move over doggy, the Shadow has come to take your place as girl’s best friend. Like a loyal golden retriever, this ski is reported to be forgiving and sensitive to the skier’s movements. It’s responsive thanks to its soft, lively flex, which comes from its aspen core construction. A buttery tip to tail symmetry allows ladies to perfect switch riding. Testers also said these skis were ideal for petite park skiers or those looking to learn new tricks.
