Featuring Volkl’s infamous 3D radius sidecut, it’s been designed to adapt to the specific nature of the terrain, enabling you to make the switch between tight turns in steep couloirs to guns blazin’ high speed long GS-style turns on wide open faces with grinnable ease.
Other touring specific features of note include a Tourlight hybrid wood core and Volkl’s new Smart Skin Clip attachment tech, which allows you to attach and detach skins from the tip or tail of the ski.

A versatile waist and the necessary lightweight DNA to strike the balance between uphill performance and downhill skiability.
