Fly through the park in the Roxy Women's Black Magic Skis. These twintip skis give plenty of pop off the rails and have the width to float through pure powder days. The Black Magic Skis' spring-blade technology layers fiberglass through the middle of the ski, which helps smooth out your landings. With a wide shovel and 92mm underfoot, the Black Magic Ski takes you out of the park to seek out jumps in backcountry.
Bottom Line: Conjuring up the spirits of dead people won't help you rip on the slopes. Luckily, Roxy's Black Magic Skis will.

Big mountain or park, Black Magic will go. 10-24-07

Roxy built this one right. Fat enough to bust through crud, float in powder and provide stability at speed and on steeps. Super light swingweight means tight trees and bumps are no problem. Add to that plenty of energy to rip in the park and pipe. No need to change out skis, these do it all! Finally a ski company understands the desires of us ladies. Thanks!
I skied the Black Magic for the first time today in Vail and was super impressed. I bought these on somewhat of whim and they are definitely worth every penny.
Women's skis can be kind of hit and miss in general, and often end up being too soft for girls who can rip on whatever the mountain dishes out. I've had a couple of sub-par experiences with K2's, which were forgiving, but put them on edge with speed and they would chatter like crazy. They were great on powder days but drove me a little nuts the other 90% of the time when it's tracked out, crudded up, or hard packed.
These skis ruled in the crud, the trees, the bumps, big turns on the groomers...and we're talking early season snow here people. I can't wait to get them out on a big snow day. They have great turn initiation and feel light but solid underfoot, handled both short and long radius turns like a champ. The width underfoot wasn't an issue at all on the fast groomers. They are stiff and solid, but not unforgiving...I could charge and feel confident.
Rumor has it that Roxy's parent company, Dynastar, perhaps had a hand in the design of these skis - and if they did, they did a damn good job. I also put on a pair of the Roxy Black Magic bindings and they are perfect.
All in all, I'm super psyched about these skis and if you are a girl who likes to ski the big mountains out West you will not be disappointed.
Took a chance and got these a few weeks ago wanting something wider for powder than my all mountain volkl attiva tierra's. All I can say is that I may never ride my volkl's again. These were awesome thru some nice powder in WInter Park, plowed thru some choppy spots, and they even did well on the groomers making nice big turns. Only downside I felt was quickness on short turns, but otherwise, these just ripped. I was a little concerned with length (got the 166's) being 5'7" 135#, but they did suprisingly well even in the bumps. All around awesome ski!
