Volkl Secret 96 Ski - 2024 - Women's One Color, 149cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""The Secret 96 is one of the most confidence-inspiring skis I’ve ridden. It grips hard on groomers, feels smooth through variable snow, and has enough width to float in powder. The tailored Titanal frame gives it power without making it punishing, and the carbon tips keep it light and responsive. It’s become my do-it-all ski for resort days.""Who It’s For Advanced to Expert All-Mountain Skiers: This ski is built for women who want a powerful, stable platform that handles everything from steep groomers to off-piste powder. Best for aggressive skiers who need confidence at speed but still want agility in mixed terrain. What It’s For All-Mountain Charging with Soft-Snow Versatility: With a 96mm waist, the Secret 96 thrives in nearly any condition. Rocker in the tip and tail adds float and forgiveness, while camber underfoot ensures edge grip on icy mornings. It’s equally at home carving groomers or exploring powder-filled trees. Why We Like It Strong, Smooth, and Capable Anywhere: We like how Volkl’s multilayer wood core places denser beech near the edges for stability while keeping the ski lighter and more forgiving in the center. The tailored Titanal frame and carbon tips combine power with precision, while the P-Tex base keeps it gliding fast. It’s a ski that feels equally confident on hardpack and in fresh snow."
