Salomon Instinct Rush 2008

The Rush is a great looking and nomble womens allmountain/piste ski. They performed much better on piste to be fair and even though they are marketed as an advanced ski my intermediate level girlfriend found them stable and very responsive. They score highly for agility and enable you to feel confident and throw the skis around a little without feeling insecure. The combination of lightness, grip and slalom style radius make for a really good allround intermediate to advanced ski for the one or two week a year skier.

The manufacturer says this about the Salomon, Instinct, Rush, 2008, Womens, Piste, Carver, Intermediate, Advanced, Skis:

Powerful ski for maximum performance.
For women with character, the Instinct Rush will more than meet your highest expectations. Performance, precision and excellent energy transmission all in a light ski designed to match your own carving talent.

Salomon Jewel Crystal 2008

The Jewel Crystal is a lovely allround ladies ski. Ideal for the progressing intermediate. Very comfortable on blues and reds, easy to control, the slightly wider shape gives you added stability and also a helping hand when you are fortunate enough to have fresh snow.
The light construction gives you lots of agility but at the expense of stability so more aggressive advanced skiers may want to head for the Jade or Origin.
The graphic looks great, the Crystal is a very pretty ski and should prove very popular with blue and red run skiers.

The manufacturer says this about the Salomon, Jewel, Crystal, 2008, Womens, Piste, Recreational, intermediate, Advanced, Skis:

All terrain pleasure.
All-mountain skiing performance is at your fingertips with the Jewel Crystal skis. Extreme stability and control combined with tolerance and forgiveness make this ski perfect for you topped off with the funky feminine design to ski in style.

Salomon Jewel Origins 2008

The Salomon Jewel Origin’s are a gorgeous pair of skis. With hand-laid fresh flowers under the tough topsheet the sweet looks belie one of the most versatile and tougher skis in Salomon’s women’s line. The 74 mm underfoot is capable of skiing offpiste and yet still laying down a decent carve on the firmer stuff.
Available in a limited edition and at quite a hefty price last season the success of an expert womens ski with a feminine look has been proven and this year the Origin is widely available and should be a first port of call for the experienced skier looking for a one ski does it all offer.
Grippy, lively, great in medium to larger turns the Origin is an excellent pair of skis for the adventurous advaced skier or expert who has her racing days behind her but fun days ahead.

The manufacturer says this about the Salomon, Jewel, Origins, 2008, Womens, Allround, Advanced, Expert, Allterrain, Skis:

Unique and authentic feminine design meets technical superiority.

The game of seduction begins with the tantalizing design featuring hand placed flowers on a visible wood core making each ski unique. Completed with the best of our technologies including a womens specific sidecut for precision, the Jewel Origins is a ski of prestige.

Salomon Instinct Fever 2008

Extremely light and agile. Great in short turns and the Fever will really get you carving and feeling like you have grip and control on piste. They are great skis for the intermediate skier or slightly timid advanced skier without pretentions to ski off piste or to attempt the jumps and spins of the park.
Instinct Fever are skis that are slalom-like in their turn shape so make very neat short to medium length turns but can feel a little twitchy when you wind up the knots and start hurling youself down the reds and blacks.
In all a very positive and fun pair of skis for the aspiring intermediate or female advanced skier who’d love a nippy, agile pair of friends.

The manufacturer says this about the Salomon, Instinct, Fever, 2008, Womens, Piste, Allround, Intermediate, Carver, skis:

Fire up the slopes with speed and precision!

For women who want it all: light manouevrablem tolerant and not lacking in performance. The iNstinct fever will let you experience the sensations you have been searching for. Carve in style, ski with your instinct!

Salomon Temptress 2008

The Temptress is the latest incarnation of the legendary 1080 but with a feminine graphic. Again Salomon have their graphics sorted for this year and the Temptress looks fantastic. The core is an isocell woodcore with a mix of wood and isocell foam- so you have the lightness and agility from the foam plus stability and durability of the wood.
The Temptress is one of the most versatile skis available with something to offer everyone from intermediate to expert skier and its not only freestylers who will have fun with this pair of twin-tips.
Highly recommended.

The manufacturer says this about the Salomon, Temptress, 2008, Women, Freestyle, Advanced, Expert, Recreational, Skis:

Lead them to temptation.

Tempted to follow the boys to the park…don’t follow, lead them to the park! With all our latest freestyle technologies you’ve got better rail contact and even smoother landings. Just because you can stomp tricks with the best of them does not mean you can’t be punchy and feminine. Show them what you’ve got with this ski inspired by you.

Salomon Mynx 2008

Agile, mid-bodied and enough strength to let you tear it up. The Mynx is developed from the hugely popular Foil but with a graphic inspired for women. For 2008 they look great, feminine but cool without being too girly.
They ski very well and are great allmountain skis and very easy in fresh snow and heavy spring conditions. The light construction makes the Mynx easy to use for even the holiday skier whilst the seasonaire will find them adept throughout the winter.
Perhaps a touch wide for use in the bumps and also a little flappy at speed or on firm snow the Mynx is happiest when cruising off piste or on fresh snow. Both advanced and expert skiers will enjoy the Mynx in the right conditions.

The manufacturer says this about the Salomon, Mynx, 2008, Womens, Freestyle, Freeride, Advanced, Expert, Skis:

Rock solid femininty….

The natural, elegant design of the Mynx may be feminine and delicate but you can still experience twintip action on the whole mountain with this rock solid ski packed with versatility. Show the guys who reigns the mountain!
