Roxy: Mumbo Jumbo Skis

It's not technical mumbo that makes you float freely across untracked powder--it's Roxy's Mumbo Jumbo freeride ski. For years guys have enjoyed advanced and expert wide rides, but the powder ski options for seasoned women skiers ranged somewhere between slim and nonexistent. Just like the most popular backcountry boy toys, the Roxy Mumbo Jumbo has a reverse camber shape and distinct profile that looks exactly like Rossignol's S7 Cabellero--because aside from a lighter wood core weight, this ski is essentially identical. It has the same rocker (Rossignol calls it a "Rocking Chair Effect") and 30-degree sidewall profile that gives the Roxy Mumbo Jumbo improved balance so it's easier to turn on hardpack and powder than traditional backcountry skis. Roxy paired their Mumbo Jumbo with their PX15 Pro XXL binding, making it a complete package for any woman who craves knee-deep powder in black-diamond and double-black diamond terrain. The only drawback might be the limited lengths--Roxy made one size for their Mumbo Jumbo this season: 176 centimeters. If that measures up to your standards, you'll love the effortless floatation and easy turn potential.
