Perhaps the most versatile big mountain women-specific ski on the spinning orb we call Earth, the Volkl Kiku continues to be a world-beater with its sublime combination of effortless float in powder and all-mountain precision. Unchanged for the winter of 2014 with the exception of a sweet new topsheet graphic, the Kiku benefits from a full rocker shape tip to tail, providing turn initiation at the speed of thought on any snow worth skiing. That rocker--combined with a 107mm waist width--also keeps the ski planing higher in the deep stuff for surfy turns. Under the hood, a burly but energetic multi-layer wood core provides a damp ride and lively pop, while Tough Box Construction powered by carbon lends power and durability. For advanced to expert level ladies who ski everything--and demand a world-class tool that does everything well.Ski Features:Core: Multi-Layer Sensorwood Powered by CarbonRocker Profile: Full RockerVertical Sidewall Torsion Box ConstructionIntended use: 30% Groomed/70% UngroomedAwards:Ski Magazine Gold Medal Gear 2014Ski Magazine Gold Medal Gear 2015Skiing Magazine Testers Choice 2014On The Snow Editors Choice 2014
