Best skis: over 110 kg advanced, all-mountain

How we chose

We ran the Edge Lab model for a 120 kg advanced skier on groomed, all-mountain snow, the middle of the over 110 kg band. It works out carve radius, edge hold and float for every ski in the catalogue (547of them), then ranks them. These are the best available in our catalogue today, in the model’s order, not ours.

No reviews behind these picks yet, so this is the model on its own. When reviews of these skis are added, testers within 10 kg of you and at your ability count for more.

Shops never change the order. Where a number is our estimate rather than the maker’s, it says est..
