If you like ripping down the frontside of any mountain worth skiing, then you owe it to yourself to check out the Volkl Charisma. At 79mm underfoot, this is a nimble, stable plank--and quick enough edge-to-edge to satisfy the most demanding carver. It's back for 2016 without any changes except an updated topsheet graphic. A bit of tip rocker eases that turn initiation, while delivering a nice bit of versatility for when the ungroomed snow starts calling. Meanwhile, camber underfoot provides power and precise edge grip on the firmest stuff. Under the hood, a proprietary XTD XtraLIGHT woodcore is built from a light and snappy Paulowina wood with channels milled out of the bottom to save some heft while maintaining liveliness. A bit of spring steel rounds out the core, offering dampness and stability even at the fastest of speeds. And, of course, there is the women's-specific Bio-Logic Technology which is an adjustment in the sidecut, flex, and stance for a female skier. Get out there with this advanced women's carving ski!Ski FeaturesAbility: Advanced, ExpertConditions: 80% Groomed, 20% PowderCore: Extended Wood Core xTRA LightConstruction: Bio-Logic, Double Grip XTD, Powered by SteelRocker: Tip Rocker
