Alpine Touring & Skinning

If you are looking for a powerful mission oriented ski, look no further than the DPS Pagoda Tour 94 C2. This is the thoroughbred touring ski created by DPS for skiing big lines, steep couloirs, early morning fitness laps, and GS turns on groomers. The DPS Pagoda Tour 94 C2 is a powerful that has no known speed limit. Ski fast with confidence and control.

When the skin track is looking steep and the powder is looking deep you'll happy to have the DPS Pagoda Tour 106 C2 Ski on our feet. This ski uses the popular C2 shape which provides float, stability, and maneuverability in powder and pairs it with a lighter Pagoda Tour construction. This lighter construction consists of full "pre-preg" carbon fiber laminates that are pre-injected with resin to eliminate any extra ounces and a foam, ash, and paulownia core that provides binding retention, weight savings, and damping. The result is a backcountry ski that gets us uphill with fresh legs and downhill with a smile on our face.

One of the stars of this year's trade show and demo circuit, the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 130 BOA GW Alpine Touring Ski Boots drop a bomb on the boot industry with the introduction of one of the only BOA® equipped narrow lasted hybrids on the market. The great things about the Hawx Ultra XTD remain the same - the Free/Lock 4.5 walk mode, the super effective Memory Fit heat molding capability, and the unparalleled fit around the ankle and midfoot - but the plastic has been changed from polyamide to True Flex Polyurethane for a much smoother and more progressive flex as well as improved ease of putting the boot on and taking it off. We also love the fresh new colorway!

Every serious backcountry skier knows all about the Marker Kingpin. It has a tech toe, an alpine heel, and offers a great balance of uphill and downhill performance. The one knock on them comes from people who spend a bit more time on the uptrack than most, and are looking for a lighter, more streamlined touring experience. Enter the Marker Kingpin M-Werks Alpine Touring Ski Bindings. With the same downhill stability as the OG Kingpins, but reworked with a carbon fiber build for a lighter weight, these high performance hybrid bindings might just tip the scales for the gram counting backcountry explorer.

Eager to tour on your favorite ski but don't want the added weight? The Salomon QST Echo 106 Skis are the answer.

The Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 105 GW Alpine Touring Ski Boots offer a Goldilocks flex of 105, perfectly balanced between the uber-stiff 115 and the moderate 95 and a great compromise for those who spend a lot of time in and out of the backcountry.

The Blaze 106 W is a light, agile powder ski that is constructed with maneuverability in mind. The thin Titanal Binding Platform underfoot harnesses power with little effort, creating an incredibly enjoyable and dynamic turning experience, immediately from initiation.

Meat huckers, hard chargers and Clydesdales who need touring capability, your time is now.

The introduction of the Mantra marked the beginning of Völkl's powerful freeriding ski line – for those who want to ride free without any restrictions but with all the control of a sporty all-mountain design. The Blaze series adds a new dimension for intuitive freeriders who like performance but appreciate a playful, agile feel as well The Blaze 94 weighs just 1,566 g (@ 179 cm) and is a highly versatile ski for outstanding performance in almost any condition. A 0.3 mm thick Titanal binding platform provides direct power transfer and builds pressure quickly for a fast response when switching edges. The ski's faster, more direct response is especially welcome in narrow and rough terrain – and takes less effort too. The secret largely lies in the 3D radius sidecut. The Blaze is designed primarily for short, fast turns, but its three different radii and tip-to-tail hybrid multi-layer wood core adapt to any riding style, however ambitious. Another notable feature is the suspension tip. An elasticated, rubbery material on the tip and tail acts like a bumper, especially in wind-blown and tracked conditions, making the ski more settled and providing fantastic flotation. The Blaze is popular for freeride touring too, thanks to its light weight. That's why Völkl also offers Smart Glue skins tailored to each Blaze model. - Binding plate premounted: no Recommended binding: - 7933U1.MA KINGPIN 13 75-100MM BLACK/RED - 7831T1.CS KINGPIN MWERKS 12 75-100MM BLACK/RED - 7650U1.ES DUKE PT 16 100MM BLACK/GUNMETAL - 7624U1.JB JESTER 16 ID 100MM BLACK/GRAY - 7524U1.GB GRIFFON 13 ID 100MM BLACK

The Blaze 94 W is what we like to call "sporty". It delivers on many levels, but it is made for the high-octane delight of a skier that loves to turn on a dime, in every type of terrain. The 0.3mm thick layer of titanal across the binding platform creates an impressively direct power transfer from skier movement to ski action. Keeping the titanal only under the foot creates an incredibly fun and responsive turning experience, immediately from initiation, with little effort. Although it is designed with short turn radius goals, the 3D Radius Sidecut and Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore significantly enhance the ski's liveliness and maneuverability for any turn shape. At only 1427g (@ 165cm length) and with the addition of the Suspension Tip and Tail (basically a rubbery "bumper" for whatever the ski comes in contact with), it is a fantastic touring ski as well. Regardless of resort skiing glory, off-piste endeavors, or backcountry objectives, the Blaze 94 offers an incredibly wide range of use in all conditions. - tip width: 134 - waist width: 94 - tail width: 116 - sidecut radius center: 11 - binding plate premounted: no - recommended binding: 7933U1.MA KINGPIN 13 75-100MM BLACK/RED;7831T1.CS KINGPIN MWERKS 12 75-100MM BLACK/RED;7550U1.ES DUKE PT 12 100MM BLACK/RED;7524U1.GF GRIFFON 13 ID 100MM WHITE

The Blaze 86 W builds on what the other models are known for lightness, versatility, and agility. Because there is no Titanal, the ski is a bit sprightly and also a bit lighter. The Blaze 86 W is designed for quick, tight turns, although the sidecut's three different radii also master demanding terrain, speed, and long, drawn-out curves. Suspension tips and tails give the ski composure, increase flotation and protect the ski off-piste. The Blaze 86 W is a great ski touring option for backcountry ladies who are happy to accept 100 g of extra weight in exchange for a much-improved skiing experience. Built around a light, high-performance, full tip-to-tail wood core, it can handle ascents and makes descending a pleasure (except if the snow is too deep). A highly versatile technological setup that gives the Blaze 86 W an intuitive feel and an unusual level of creativity.
