No such thing as men's skis. There are unisex skis and then pink noodle things with different mounting points. Ski the Net with snowHeads. You talking about the skis or the ladys here? How much to the mounting points differ and more to the point why? And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
Thanks to Jeannie Thoren, many women are discovering the benefits of a forward binding mount position. According to Thoren, a women's center of gravity is about one inch lower and further back than a man's.
A female skier also carries more weight below the waist. In general, women have larger hips, buttocks, and thighs than men. In contrast, men are broader in the chest and shoulders. As such, they carry their weight above the waist. When it comes to optimal skier alignment, these anatomical differences often put women at a disadvantage. The extra weight in the lower body pushes their weight towards the back of the ski, and into a position known as the "backseat.
If you consider the mechanics of a ski turn, you will understand why this is a problem. A skier initiates turns from the front end of the skis. If a skier's weight is concentrated on the tail of the ski, the unweighted tips can either shoot forward, wander or cross.
Many experts, including Thoren, believe that mounting the ski bindings in a position that is forward of center can help a female skier keep her weight over the ski's sweet spot, and thus gain more control. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much.

I have a pair of Auras and while not super stiff are not noodles and definitely stiffer than Rossi S3s. But once we were done and as we continued to develop more models specifically for women, I realized I was wrong.
A: I think the biggest difference is the materials inside the ski. Our skis are softer, more forgiving, and the narrowest point in the ski, the waist, is farther forward.
A: A testing day is a long day. Up at a. Out the door at 6. At the base of Mt. Boot up, meet with the engineers and go over the groups, get test cards, screw drivers, extra clothing and water.
Each of us take two or three pair of skis to the lift. Load the lift at 7. We split into two groups, and each group takes a category. For example if we are designing a new ski that is 90mm underfoot , there will be five skis in this category. The other testers will do another category, like a mm underfoot. We take one run on each ski in the category, making notes on our cards on the lift.
Get to the top, adjust binding, switch skis and do it again. Once we have skied all five in the group we switch groups.
