Völkl VTA 108

Völkl promises "the optimum balance between ascent and descent performance" for the VTA 108. This balance between low weight on the ascent and stability as well as maximum length and width for the descent has been the holy grail of freeride ski manufacturers for a few years now. We tested whether Völkl has found the holy grail with the VTA 108.

As every year, PowderGuide is once again reporting on the new products from our partners at Ispo 2017 with a slight delay. Some of the articles have already been mentioned in the other ISPO reports, but here we will once again explicitly cover the ISPO highlights from our partners for the coming winter 2017/2018. The second part is about products from Dynafit, Icebreaker, Mammut, Marker, Salomon, Scott, Sweet Protection and Völkl. Have fun reading and find out about neon-colored skis, water-repellent wool, the new long-range Barryvöxes, heat-regulating helmets, ski touring boots with walk mode at the front and particularly light ski touring boots with walk mode at the back, a backpack with back protector and a few more efficient ski touring skis.
