Völkl Rise Up 82 W (Backcountry Touring Ski 2023/2024)

Product Summary

The Völkl Rise Up 82 W is the perfect tool during both downhill rides and steep ascents. Thanks to its low weight, the ski is easy to master even on longer trips. The Völkl Rise Up 82 W's full retail price is 500 €. The Ski is roughly 110 € cheaper than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it a mid-range model. Effortless to ride at all speeds, this ski is just right for all intermediate skiers. The Rise Up 82 W 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. Available lengths for the ski are ranging between 149 and 170cm.

The ski in details

The ski for athletic lady tourers who want an easy ascent followed by a creative descent. Agility and manoeuvrability are the focus.

The Rise Up 82 W is designed for people who like to set out whatever the conditions and enjoy everything that touring has to offer. It’s aimed at women who are always on the lookout for untouched snow and who treat ski touring as a form of meditation. Once they have found it, the Rise Up 82 W offers ample reward on the ascent. Its narrower waist and hybrid multi-layer wood core reduce its weight for lighter ascents, but are rugged enough to handle everything that varied descents have to throw at it. A 3D radius sidecut along the whole length of the ski make it incredibly versatile, because it can cope with very varied radii, depending on how you apply pressure at the edges. The Rise Up 82 W is basically built for ascending, but its potential for descending shouldn’t be underestimated, especially on hard snow.
