Womens Alpine skiing employs the use of aerial acrobatics and balance. Alpine skiing was developed in the 1970s into a style called Hotdogging. More recently, Alpine freestyle has evolved into the current style called Freeskiing or freestyle skiing, a new style of skiing that started in the late 1990s, specifically 1998 when the Salomon "Teneighty" twin-tip ski (the first successfully marketed twin-tip ski) flew off the shelves, changing the ski industry and culture forever. The very first twin-tip ski ever made remains the "Olin Mark IV comp". In this type of skiing, skiers use jumps (also called kickers or launches) or rails to do aerial tricks. The use of rails is known as grinding or jibbing. Alpine freestyle was pioneered by Stein Eriksen in 1962.

Womens skis may have a wood core
enabling high performance in a lightweight construction. For example, K2
uses a Bioflex core. A blend of fir and spruce combine to give the ski a
blend of stability and forgiveness. K2 explains that the the Bioflex core
is that it “produces a lighter weight core which translates into skis that
are easier to maneuver and causes less fatigue than a comparable men’s
size and model.”
Altered distribution of the ski's mass. Referred to as MOD structure.
According to the manufacturers, "The shape of the MOD structure is
sculpted to distribute mass in ways that ensure the smoothest ride."
Women's skis are shaped differently since the optimum location and
thickness of mass differs from men to women.
Graphics appealing to ladies according to individual companies market
research.
Shorter ski size range
Skis built with maneuverable ski tips through use of softer materials
(e.g. Spruce softwood rather than Fir) and rocker technology.
