Q-103 Stella Ski - Women's

With a 102mm waist, the Salomon Women's Q-103 Stella Ski is wide enough for those big-time powder days, but it certainly isn't too big and clunky to rip down hardpack and groomers. The Stella's Utility Rocker profile provides flotation and control in deep power, crud, or variable snow, and Edgy Monocoque construction provides responsive maneuverability all over the mountain. Stunning graphics are sure to turn some heads, when they aren't covered in powder, that is.

If you're sick of riding a ski so heavy that your legs feel like jelly by last chair, the Stella is a good option, as it has honeycomb construction in the tip, which reduces weight in non-crucial areas. The full poplar wood core keeps it strong and stable, so your ski won't flap in the wind or chatter on runouts. The gentle-rise tail adds control and strong rebound from turn to turn. If you're a powderhound that lives for backside explorations, then these are your boards.
