Völkl continues its women-focused, all-mountain carving Shine line with the addition of the 78. Like all the skis in the family, it likes to rail turns on hard snow, but our female (and plenty of male) testers found it was adaptable. “Really versatile on all terrain,” said Julie Hammel. “Off-piste, trees, groomers: I found the sweet spot easily.” A tight turning radius meant the ski loves slalom turns, but a multi-radius sidecut gives it stability in big turns, too. “It doesn’t take much effort to lay this ski over, making it an excellent choice for skiers looking for both power and ease of control,” said another tester.
