New flex pattern and shape, deliver a versatile easy turning ski for women." Ski-Review's Verdict: The new Mint, while enjoying a much needed makeover, has also been redesigned from tip to tail. A wider waist and better edge hold combined with an elegant graphic make it an alluring choice for Ladies who have solid fundamental skills, but want a ski that will encourage them to “push the envelope” a bit while tolerating some minor lapses in balance or edging miscalculations. One of the most forgiving Women’s skis, without compromising too much on the performance. They’re fun, and they are very conducive to some “game improvement.” While very few skiers become experts, its always nice to improve and as the ability climbs, the confidence builds enabling more skiers to ski more challenging terrain with a new enthusiasm. The new Olympia Mint will help ladies turn it up a notch as the X Balance system works to keep weight on the entire ski.
