Best Overall

The Blizzard Zero G 105 claims the title of best overall women’s touring ski for 2025, offering the perfect balance between weight, strength, and downhill confidence. With a 105mm waist and Carbon Drive 3.0 construction, it delivers exceptional precision and stability on steep, technical descents without weighing you down on the climb.

The lightweight paulownia wood core keeps ascents efficient, while the ski’s rockered tip and camber underfoot ensure solid edge hold and maneuverability across mixed snow conditions. Whether you’re tackling big alpine lines or powder-filled backcountry bowls, the Zero G 105 delivers top-tier performance both up and down.

Best for Big Vertical Days

The DPS Pagoda Tour CFL 105 is the lightest and most efficient touring ski on this list, designed for long, demanding missions where every gram matters. With a 105mm waist and aerospace-grade carbon laminate construction, it floats through powder effortlessly while remaining snappy and responsive underfoot.

Despite its featherweight build, the Pagoda Tour CFL 105 offers surprising dampness and control on descents, making it a trustworthy partner even when conditions get variable. It’s the perfect choice for serious backcountry skiers looking to maximize uphill efficiency without sacrificing fun or stability on the way down.

Most Playful

The Black Crows Camox Freebird remains the most playful women’s touring ski in 2025, ideal for skiers who prioritize energy and creativity on their descents. With a 96mm waist, a progressive flex, and a forgiving rocker-camber-rocker profile, it’s designed for quick turns, slashes, and surfy powder runs.

The paulownia core reinforced with carbon fiber ensures a lightweight yet lively ride, while the ski’s friendly flex makes it approachable for a wide range of skiers. If you love skiing trees, chasing soft snow, and playing your way down the mountain, the Camox Freebird is a top-tier option.

Best for Deep Powder

The Salomon QST Echo 106 is the best women's ski for powder-focused touring in 2025. With a 106mm waist, full rocker-camber-rocker profile, and lightweight Karuba/poplar core construction, it excels in deep snow without feeling sluggish on the skintrack.

C/FX carbon flax layers add strength and dampness, ensuring the ski handles tracked-up or variable snow just as well as fresh powder. For skiers looking for a one-ski quiver that prioritizes float but can still tackle big objectives, the Echo 106 is an exceptional choice.

Most Stable

The Stereo Wolf MK5 is the most stable women’s touring ski in variable conditions for 2025. Featuring a 104mm waist and a hybrid poplar-carbon fiber core, it strikes an excellent balance between lightweight uphill performance and downhill muscle.

The ski’s moderate flex and directional shape provide a planted, predictable feel when the snow gets choppy, crusty, or inconsistent. If you’re the kind of skier who ventures out no matter what the conditions look like, the Wolf MK5 will give you the stability and confidence to tackle anything you encounter.
