Salomon Women's H Origins Topaz Skis w/ LZ9 B80 Bindings
While classified as an "all-mountain sport" ski by Salomon, the women's Origins Topaz with integrated LZ9 binding shouldn't be confused with cheap "sport" ski designs made from flimsy components and sold at deep discounts in sporting good chains. Salomon's Origins Topaz features high-end components like titanium reinforcements, the same vibration-reducing Pulse Pad elastomer found on the top-end skis, and new innovations like the 3D Stealth Tip helps minimize chatter at speed. Unlike the top performance skis in the Salomon women's all-mountain series, the Origins Topaz doesn't use the same woodcore construction--it has a composite fiber core that remains remarkably forgiving without adding excess ounces. This means that the ski absorbs the vibrations and shock of unanticipated (or unseen) undulations in the snow. The result is an all-mountain ski with a sidecut profile that excels on groomed without being too bogged down during excursions into untracked terrain. If you crave stability and dislike chatter at high speeds, the Origins Topaz is the perfect confidence-builder. This incarnation of the Origins Topaz comes with the integrated LZ9 binding, one of the most affordable ski bindings available from Salomon this season. Because the DIN scale settings are 2.5-9 for women skiers up to 220 lbs. (factor in clothes, backcountry pack, etc.). If you think you'll be racing in top-tier competition, you may need a ski/binding pairing with higher DIN settings.
