Softer than margarine sold by the bucket, the Soulmate 86 is meant to nurse a timorous skier into a state of sufficient confidence that she can putter around groomed terrain, no problem. Properly edged and pressured, it’ll produce a tidy short-radius turn, putting the priority on speed control.But skidding is second nature to the Soulmate 86, so it isn’t insistent on good technique to maintain speed control, if that’s all its mistress can muster. The Soulmate 86 is a fine choice for the first-time female buyer; it will feel like liberation itself after the horrors of a fleet rental ski or a battered hand-me-down.

Women’s Test Data Advisory
Please be advised that our 2022 women’s ski reviews do not show any test data, on either our public or members’ sites. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we haven’t been able to collect sufficient test results to justify showing a statistical summary.
While Realskiers members won’t be able to see stats on women’s reviews, they will see a longer, more in-depth narrative than what’s posted on our public site.
We appreciate your continued support through these troublesome times.
