The first choice for demanding alpinists in high-altitude terrain, for whom ascents and descents are equally important. The Völkl Rise Above 88 is the most versatile ski in the new touring range, with equal strengths in both ascents and descents.

The Hybrid Tourlite Woodcore provides an impressive combination of minimal weight (1190gr @ 170) and riding stability. The 3D radius sidecut provides a highly resistant tip which is especially useful when skiing in wind-blown snow conditions.

The sidecut construction provides both agility as well as maneuverability in narrow passages. For ski tours with heavy loads, the combination of a more narrow waist under the foot and moderate shaping in the tip and tail areas helps skiers to stay in control and requires less effort when changing the direction.

The Rise Above 88 also comes with Völkl's new Smart Skinclip which is available with Fibre Tech and Smart Glue skins.
