A must-see for female skiers! The latest 26-27 fat skis recommended by pros

"A powerfully evolved JJ" - an all-condition ski.
I've been a long-time user of the "ARMADA JJ," and because of its superb skiing performance, I was reluctant to switch... But to experience the performance of evolving fat skis firsthand, I took the plunge and switched to the "ARV112"!!

What a surprise! With handling that exceeds all expectations, even when venturing into the heavy, fresh snow of the Hokuriku region, I was able to surpass the speed of men's skis and draw unprecedented fall lines!

Lightweight and versatile for all snow conditions,
this is the women's version of the Backland skis, which are also recommended for male skiers. The key selling points are its light weight and versatility for all snow conditions. The '26-27 model features a chic color scheme and a sophisticated design.

High maneuverability, lightweight, and available in lengths starting from 164cm are some of the reasons to recommend
BENT's BC series. The BENT BC series is lightweight and has a soft flex. Its high maneuverability and smooth gliding performance in powder are key features! For women, a lightweight ski with high maneuverability and turning performance is very appealing. While there are few fat skis (with a center width of 110mm or more) that come in shorter sizes, the fact that these skis are available in lengths starting from 164cm is another reason to recommend them.

The long-awaited 164cm is here! A ski that connects you to the snowy mountains more freely.
The 164cm size that female skiers have been waiting for for years has finally made its debut! If you had given up on finding a ski because only longer sizes were available, the 26-27 model is your chance. Tested by former Olympic Japanese mogul skier Aiko Uemura, the 164cm is primarily targeted at women and has been adjusted to be enjoyable for female skiers.

The INTIMACY has been updated with a revised flex across all sizes, resulting in a softer, easier-to-handle, and more stable ski than ever before. It's sure to satisfy both backcountry and groomed skiers!

Perfect for petite and less powerful women,
this La Macine racket, though not often highlighted, truly lives up to its top-category status! It's incredibly lightweight yet offers unparalleled grip and stability! And it's easy to use, making it perfect for petite and less powerful women! Apparently, it's manufactured in a different factory than the regular models, giving it a very handmade feel, which contributes to its exceptional ease of use and quality!

This ski dispels the negative image of fat skis.
Compared to men, skiers are generally smaller in stature and have weaker leg strength (on average), so I chose this ski not because it was extremely wide, but because it provided sufficient buoyancy and was easy to handle. The twin-tip shape means you sit closer to the center of the ski (this can be adjusted to your preference), and it makes swinging easier. I think this ski will make you realize that fat skis are not heavy, long, and difficult to use, but rather that they are easy to maneuver and can be used on a variety of terrains.

Fat skis have the advantage of being strong not only in powder but also in slushy snow, and because they aren't too wide, they can also be used for cruising at resorts, so you can use one pair of skis throughout the season

its gentle flex and torsion, this ski is easy for women to handle
. It's generally soft flex and easy to manage. It's also available in a shorter 166cm size, and the ski is lightweight. The swallowtail sinks into powder, allowing the nose to naturally lift. Because of its gentle flex and torsion, it's recommended for female skiers.

It's recommended because it's flexible and the tail shape makes it easy to slide
. You can easily control it at low to medium speeds without wasting unnecessary force, and it provides stable skiing even at high speeds. It also handles moist powder with a lot of moisture. With its flexible flex and round pin tail shape, it's easy to slide, making it a good choice for those trying fat skis for the first time. For an average woman, this would probably be around 175cm.
