A ski for the rad woman who is constantly searching for adrenaline-inducing powder opportunities, and wants to seriously shred everywhere else in the process.
The Secret 102 is the love child of powder-floating pontoons and versatile all-mountain sticks, creating a ski made for powder that rips across all terrain. All the Secrets have a heftier construction, plus the added width of the 102, this ski is made to wielded by a hard-charging, blizzard-chasing female.

Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:
