Here’s the deal: The Bella is without a doubt the cult-favorite, must-have women’s model in our lineup—so much so that we’d recommend you try it regardless of what you think you need or want in a ski—that isn’t a sales pitch, it’s a well-earned reputation.
Don’t believe us? Ask around—you’ll see. There are plenty of ladies out there who picked up a pair to compliment a daily driver only to find that more days than not, there’s a pair of Bellas on their feet. It’s not by chance that it’s been the best selling staple of the women’s line for nearly two decades.
Born to play in powder, its deep rocker lines, progressive mount, and twin-tipped profile let you pivot, slash, and frolic in the soft stuff. Camber underfoot and a long extended effective edge make no issue of laying trenches when things firm up. Surprisingly nimble and impressively stable the Bella makes a mid-fat pow ski feel more like a do-all, be-all, toss-em-in-the-hatchback-and-forget-the-forecast kind of ride.
We won’t go so far as to say it’s a perfect daily driver for everyone, just know that this ain’t no powder-specific ski to keep in the back of the closet under lock and key. Try a pair, you’ll see.
