Volkl Mountain Skis 2008/9

Volkl Mountain Skis 2008/9

A classic design revamped for 08/09. The "Mountain" is a very lightweight pair of touring skis aimed at the serious ski tourer.

Coming in at only 1200 g per pair at 161 cm this is a ski that should float up the climbs and be perfect for longer ski tours such as the Haute Route. A lightweight wood-core give stability and comfort heading down and much needed security if the downhill gets steep. You need some grip when touring and the sidecut gives a smooth and skiddable (essential for washing-off speed) ski that is much more modern in its outlook whilst still remaining light, comfortable and competent heading upwards.

The manufacturer says this about the Volkl Mountain Skis 2008/9:
