Salomon Women's Jade Ski w/ Z10 B80 Binding
Too many ski retailers and reviewers throw around that whole "quiver of one" phrase. Before you buy an all-mountain ski that claims to do everything well, consider how you like to define your all-mountain adventures. The truth is that most women's all-mountain skis either have a narrow waist oriented toward carving or a wider waist design that floats well in untracked conditions. When a "quiver of one" ski works for a reviewer, it's often more about the ski matching their ski style than a ski that hits every particle of snow on the mountain with perfection. That said, Salomon's Women's Jade with integrated Z10 binding has a wider 83-mm. waist for powder floatation and a lively full wood core that rebounds nicely in hardpack conditions. It won't be a ski that's everything for everyone, but the Jade is based on a long line of award-winning all-mountain skis that have a stellar reputation for pleasing the most discerning expert skiers. Unlike its male-oriented counterpart, Salomon's X-Wing Fury, the Jade has a lighter, female-specific construction that makes it far easier to turn and control than many unisex compromises on the mountain. The Jade also has a wider waist for slightly better performance in softer snow than the balanced Salomon Women's Opal. Like the Opal, the Jade has a special Pulse Pad--a distinct elastomer layer that runs along the edges for better shock absorption on ice and hardpack. The Pulse Pad also neutralizes vibrations at speed, which gives you a bit more stability to take on those blue-iced, wind-scraped patches on your favorite (or most dreaded) double-diamond ski runs. Salomon paired their Jade ski with the proven Z10 Ti B80 Binding. If quality is everything, Salomon's Z-concept bindings are at the top of the list with the best in construction and durable, lightweight components, so the Z10 Ti B80 is an ideal match for the Jade, especially if you're looking for top-shelf, all-mountain excellence.
