I'm new to skiing and recently bought these on super clearance at a sportgoods store. I didn't realize until I got home that they were Mens and I was wondering if they would be okay for a woman or if I should only look for skiis specifically designed for women?
Thanks!

They will be fine. Womens skis are slightly softer than the mens ski that they are compared with and the center of the ski is positioned up to 2cm closer to the front because women have a lower center of gravity and this puts women over the proper part of the ski when skiing. If you are just starting out, it doesnt matter much. Learn on these and get a womens ski as your next ski. It is more important for your boots to fit properly. I am a woman and I ski mens skis most of the time.
