Designed specifically for women, the lightweight Alpina Control LW skis offer super stability, a long kick zone and soft flex pattern, making them a smart choice for both in- and off-track conditions.

  • Wide sidecut makes them easy and predictable to control
  • Ultra-grip, waxless base supplies strong kick in all conditions
  • Tip-to-tail wood core with cap construction has a resilient feel and great stability
  • Durable Scuff-Tuff™ top skins keep snow from sticking to the skis and keeps the skis looking new, year after year

Precise design and feminine flair make up the Alpina Women’s Control LW Cross Country Touring Ski. A longer kick zone and softer flex pattern help you get the most control out of your strides. Alpina capped off the Control LW with its Scuff Tuff top deck for added durability when it’s time to wander off trail and pick up some speed on the downhills.

Good all around ski

Rating:****
This is my first pair of cross country skis and I am very happy with them. My husband bought a pair of the Alpina men's after seeing how good mine were. We have used them on groomed trails and in back country areas and I have been happy with them. The specs say they have a metal edge, but they do not have a metal edge.
