THE ALL-NEW WNDR ALPINE INTENTION 108 REPLACES THE WELL-KNOWN 110 THIS YEAR, and while we were skeptical of the slim-down, we have to admit: We’re not mad about it. Built for adventurous backcountry skiers who see the mountain as their playground, the new WNDR Alpine Intention 108 features a slightly shorter turn radius and stiffer flex than its predecessor, a trusty platform to boost cliffs and arc fast turns. “The Intention 108 is for someone who’s ready to charge,” reported one FREESKIER tester. “I like the shape of the tail… and the stiffness [of the ski] for terrain that demands a ski with a backbone. The more aggressive the skier, the better they will like this ski.” The updated ski also features WNDR’s new SpiralMade technology, utilizing production waste from their own manufacturing to build new products. Like all WNDR Alpine skis, the Intention 108 comes in either reverse camber or camber profiles (we tried both) and is constructed with algae-based materials, so you can grab the ski that suits your style and feel good about the commitment.
