About this product
The Maven 88 CTi is a frontside-focused women’s all-mountain ski built for precise, confident skiing on firm snow. It offers quick edge changes and a composed feel while remaining adaptable enough for varied terrain.
Why we like it:
It feels intuitive and responsive, with strong grip on hardpack and a smooth, stable ride through mixed conditions. It rewards good technique without feeling overly punishing.
Who it's for:
Advanced to Expert women skiers who spend most of their time on groomed trails and value edge hold and predictability, with occasional ventures into bumps or light off-trail snow.
Highlights:
A Poplar and Ash wood core reinforced with carbon and titanal enhances torsional stiffness for reliable edge grip and stability. The 88 mm waist promotes fast edge-to-edge transitions and clean carving performance, but the ski is wide enough to track true through chop and crud. Subtle tip rocker helps initiate turns smoothly while camber underfoot maintains consistent contact on firmer surfaces.
Things to consider:
Its narrower platform favors firm snow performance and isn't meant to provide significant float in deeper conditions. Skiers seeking a looser, more playful personality may prefer a softer or wider option.
Fit & sizing considerations:
The Maven 88 CTi skis true to size with strong edge engagement and a supportive tail. Most skiers should select their usual length for balanced performance. Those who prioritize quicker turns at moderate speeds may consider sizing down slightly.
