 The Stöckli Nela 88 is the definition of an all-mountain ski. Lightweight construction paired with a thin Titanal sheet and vibration-absorbing sidewalls creates a balance of playfulness and stability.

Women testers described it as “fun, fast, and stable,” with high-speed carving prowess as well as nimble maneuverability in bumps and off-piste terrain. The tip and tail rocker keep it playful, while the metal reinforcement ensures reliable edge hold on firm snow.

Bottom line: The Nela 88 is a versatile, confidence-boosting ski that handles just about everything with style—an ideal choice for women who want one ski for the entire mountain.

Ryan Stuart has a ski for every possible condition and a jacket to match. Well maybe not quite, but the magazine’s Technical Editor has more than enough of both and can’t wait to test out whatever is coming next. When he’s not testing skis or writing the buyer’s guides, you can’t find him exploring his bumpy backyard on Vancouver Island. @ryan_adventures
