Can a guy ski on skis labeled as womans?

Question

wondering if a guy can use a ski labeled as womans. The skis are rossignol bandit b1 w's. Thinking about using them if no harm would be down.....have no clue?

Answer 1

There will be no harm done. The basic difference between a mens ski and a women's ski is the fact that a woman's ski will have a slightly softer tip and the bindings are mounted a bit further forward. This is to help a woman, who will generally have a lower center of gravity than a man (a man typically carries more weight in his upper body and a woman carries more weight in her hips), affect the tips of the skis more.

So, yeah. You could ski a woman's specific ski with little or no worries. It'll offer some performance gains that you don't need and may take them away in other areas. All in all, you'd probably barely notice a difference.

Answer 2

Yes.
