The read

This women's frontside piste ski targets recreational and intermediate skiers focused on groomed terrain and carved turns. Its very short turn radius sits at the low end of the piste cohort, favoring quick, tight arcs, while its poplar wood core and tip rocker keep it notably light and easy to initiate. Skiers who want a nimble, confidence-building carver on groomed runs will find it well suited to their needs.

Specs & what they mean

What the Nova 6 Skis's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A short 11.0-meter radius with a wide, tapered tip makes for quick, easily-pivoted turns — it hooks into a turn fast and releases it just as readily.

Stability & dampness

At 1,550 g this is a light ski, quick to move underfoot.

Float & width

At 75 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
