2010 Women’s Specific Roxy Swell Scores 83 out of 100 points
By: Julie Sexton
Roxy “Swell” was just that, swell. The ski is made for beginner to intermediate skiers that may need a confidence boost while on the slopes. Roxy determined that since many ladies ski in the ‘backseat’ they would design a ski that would make backseat skiing comfortable and easy to turn. Thus, the “Roxy Roller” technology was born. This design feature is like a ‘roll’ in the tail of the ski, and assists the skier to initiate a comfortable turn at most speeds from whatever stance they prefer. This ski, with a fun feminine graphic, will make beginner/intermediate women look like heroes out there!
