VÖLKL 100EIGHT W REVIEW — 2017

Testers had a resoundingly positive response to the 100Eight W’s on-edge capabilities. Comments ranged from “very stable, easy on edge” to “lays turns hard and skis true to its length” to “strong charger made for ripping women that want to ski fast and crank out turns.” A full rocker profile makes it reliable in soft snow and adds some play. A raised central ridge of the multilayer core, which levels out in front of and behind the binding, combined with carbon stringers, allows for on-the-money pressure distribution when transitioning from edge to edge. With the denser materials in the center, the ski sheds weight from the exterior, revealing a product that’s responsive and agile.
