These skis take a commitment, not just when it comes to turning but also when opening the wallet. Luckily with the BMX 118, you get what you pay for. These are not meant for the recreational woman. Testers said, “It takes a burly lady to handle these boards,” but added, “They are perfect for rippin’ big lines.” An early rise tip and tail, traditional camber underfoot, and a large 29m sidecut radius allow technically versed females to power through all conditions. Testers reported that they were great on “groomers in between your favorite pow stashes.”
