Volkl Secret 96 Women's Flat Skis, 149cm Blue/White 2024

Partial-twin-tip womens ski from Volkl - made for all mountain skiers looking for a nimble, responsive dependable ride Built for demanding freeride ladies who want to explore the limits under any conditions, the Secret 96 from Volkl made for skiers who want a ski they can rely on all the way from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley and which leaves them with enough left in the tank to party hard at the aprs ski.The Secret 96 continues its formula of using a titanal frame and carbon tips to offer the balance between stability and manoeuvrability. Whilst the Secret now more suited than it ever has been to intermediate skiers it certainly not lacking in performance for advancedexpert skiers. To compensate for the lack of metal in the tip of the ski Volkl has added carbon tips that provide excellent levels of torsional stiffness without a large amount of added weight. These lightweight but stable tips allow you to ski hard and fast all over the mountain with Volkls renowned edges allowing you to cut through firm conditions without a second thought. One of the highlights of the Secret 96 the 3-radius sidecut. Due to the geometry of the side cut and depending on the riders speed the effective edge can become shorter for agile turns and longer for strong carves on fresh groomers. It enables the ski to be both stable and manoeuvrable, which something a traditional titanal ski couldnt achieve. Not only does the Secret excel in-bounds but it retains its ability to go anywhere with deep rocker lines providing good amounts of float and the moderate taper making it easy to initiate turns in soft, off-piste snow. This full-sidewall, directional charger well suited to a variety of ability levels and an excellent choice for skiers looking for one ski to do it all, with a slight focus more towards in-bounds skiing.
