Völkl Rise High 88 (Backcountry Touring Ski 2024/2025)

Product Summary

Due to its lighweight construction the Völkl Rise High 88 is easy to handle not only downhill but also during longer ascents. The Völkl Rise High 88's full retail price is € 900. The Ski costs roughly € 280 more than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it a real luxury Ski. The ski is very smooth and forgiving. It's the perfect tool for intermediate skiers. The Rise High 88 is a more off-piste oriented ski which rides great in deep powder. Thanks to its versatility however, it is also fun on groomers from time to time. The ski is available from 160 to 180cm.

The ski in details

Ultra-light carbon for the experienced ski tourer

What are the key criteria for demanding ski tourers? Weight? Uphill performance? Riding qualities? Behaviour in unfavourable conditions? All of it? Then this is the perfect ski! The Rise High 88 with a full carbon jacket offers a fantastic weight-performance ratio and optimum stability. Despite weighing in at just 1,065 g (at 170 cm), it offers great durability on long, demanding tours in high alpine terrain, making it ideal for experienced ski mountaineers. In addition to the carbon construction, the 88 also features the unique Smart Skinclip attachment system, which is compatible with both Fibre Tech and Smart Glue skins.

A particularly light and complex wood core specially developed for touring skis. In the area around the steel edges, a poplar wood hand-picked by weight provides the necessary stability, while in the center of the ski, the soft and light Paulownia wood ensures the ski's flexibility.

Multilayer Woodcore 1
The side wall is laminated to extremely stable layers of wood on the sides of the sandwich core.

Smart Skinclip
The newly developed Smart Skinclip system allows the ski tourer to decide for himself, depending on the situation, in which direction he should pull the skin on and off.
