SPECS

Hardcore Ski

The Vlkl Katana V.Werks Skis are both lean for accessing those hare-to-get-to terrain goals and mean enough to slay the crazy snow conditions you just may find there. Whether you use the V.Werks as a nimble in-bounds ride or a ripping backcountry stick, this is about as light as you can go and not give up guts for the downhill. 3D.Ridge Carbon construction means the ski is normal thickness in the center and tapers to just about nothing at the edges, and ICE.OFF topsheets keep snow buildup to a minimum. A V.Werkable solution for the hardcore backcountry charger.

TECHNOLOGY

Skin Pin

100% secure and custom-fit connection of skin to ski.

3D. Ridge Carbon

Central Woodcore Ridge with superslim wings to significantly reduce weight and swing weight and keep the stability where necessary. Combined with Full Carbon Jacket for stability.

Ice Off Topsheet

The unique surface structure and material composition reduces icing as the snow simply slides off the topsheet. This leads to a drastic reduction of weight in use, on average up to 20% to 30%. Lighter skis prevent fatigue, especially on long and steep uphill sections.
