- K2
- HardSide
At 98 mm underfoot, the HardSide is the narrowest ski built with the Hybritech sidewall construction. A few short years ago, it would have been considered a powder ski, and it certainly won't disappoint on the deep days. However, it's designed for skiers who's off piste playgrounds consist more of cut up crud and firm snow than bottomless powder, with a slight shovel rocker for versatility, and a powerful metal laminate construction for race room precision, stability and edge hold.
- SideStash
The ideal ski for trashing the obvious lines and hidden secret Stashes on your hit list regardless of it being a powder day at the resort or week old powder just outside the ropes.
- DarkSide
The DarkSide boasts the widest dimensions in our Adventure line, and
combined with the Hybritech sidewall construction, it will inspire you
to hold the throttle wide open while arcing super G turns down an AK
face.
However, when the terrain chokes down to a tight couloir, rock garden
or steep glade, the normal cambered tail allows you to scrub speed on
demand and the 10/20 shovel rocker delivers surprising quickness and
agility.
- GotBack
This women's powder ski makes no apologies for her full figured 102mm waist. In fact, that's one of her most alluring qualities. Add slight 2/30 shovel rocker and you've got a ski with phenomenal float and exceptional maneuverability.
- PayBack
The PayBack ski for women confidently walks the rope line between resort and backcountry. Telemark or locked heel, the Bioflex core and two sheets of metal provide the precision and stability required to charge in-bounds, and the Triaxial braided Bioflex core keeps the weight down for all-day tours.
- LottaLuv
This women's ski is 82mm under foot while keeping the performance characteristics of a narrower waisted ski. This translates into a ski with high end performance and unsurpassed versatility in any snow conditions.
- Volkl
- AC50 Motion
The Unlimited AC50 is yet another example of how Motion iPT Wide Ride
brings the versatility of wide, big mountain skis to a new height. The
shape of 128-85-112 is wide, yet paired with the iPT Wide Ride, it's
incredibly nimble. For good skiers who like to bust through crud and
cruise through powder, yet still have a ski that can truly rip the
groomers, the AC50 is the best solution we've ever offered.
- Gotama
The new Gotama features an all new shape of 137-106-122mm. The powder
and switch-riding performance is incredible, and yet if you want to use
it as an every day ski you will be able to do so. Leave it to Völkl to
introduce what just a few years ago would have been inconceivable: a
rockered, big mountain twin tip that you can use every day at the
resort.

The Kuro is Völkl’s widest ski, with a shape of 164-132-139, combined
with Völkl's exclusive Extended Low Profile (ELP) rocker technology.

performance in all snow conditions, even on firm, groomed snow.
- Katana
The Katana features a top-end, wood core and vertical sidewall
construction, with two sheets of titanium. A 111mm waist gives you
float, while the beefy construction gives it great handling on harder
snow. For good skiers who want a deep powder ski that they can use on
the groomed from time to time.

deep stuff, yet still have a solid, all-mountain feel on the front of
the mountain. Still unparalleled in the market, it’s the go-to ski for

manueverability in the deep stuff, combined with sold groomed-snow
performance.

- JJ
This ski could very well be sold out this season, so get on a pair from our demo fleet to find out what the hype is about. With rocker at the tip and tails, camber
under foot, and strategically located width, the JJ floats like a yacht
in deep snow and carves like a three-fin thruster to the lift line.
- ARG
The ARG is optimized for the deepest snow imaginable—maximum rocker,
minimum sidecut—but because it features Elf Shoe Tech, the ski
nevertheless performs in a variety of conditions. From wind-hammered
snow to cut-up powder fields to the hard pack you encounter skiing back
to the lift, it floats when you want it to and turns when you need it
to. AR 50 Sidewall construction combines the benefits of cap
construction with those of ABS, while the Ultra Light Hybrid Core
ensures that what looks like a tank skis like a coupe.
- ARV
When the ARV was born seven years ago, skiers demanding park-style
performance all over the mountain were cutting edge innovators. Today,
it's not just the Armada team members who require pop off terrain
features and stability at speeds wrapped in a wide enough package for
flotation in any snow condition—it's every high caliber, all-mountain
skier. Like the AR6, this is an Armada legacy product and it remains
virtually unchanged from last year because we haven't found a way to
improve upon it. The ARV remains the benchmark in traditional
all-mountain versatility.
