Volkl Rise Beyond 96 Skin

The Volkl Rise Beyond 96 Skins are a fantastic choice for skiers who are putting as much emphasis on the ups as they are the downs. The explosion of backcountry, touring, and alpine touring skiing over the past few years has been nothing short of astonishing. Skinning up and skiing down has quickly become a very popular way to recreate at the mountains, and while that can certainly be said for the past decades as well, the number of skiers in the backcountry, or simply those who are skinning up for early-morning laps has definitely increased. As a result, ski companies have caught up fairly quickly, and one of the coolest things on the market today are pre-cut skins that fit properly to backcountry-specific skis. The Volkl Rise Beyond 96 skins fit to the skis of the same name, per length, and this is a great way to get a custom-fit skin right out of the box that you can adhere to the base of your ski and head right out to ski. One of the coolest features of this niche of a product is the Smart Skin Clip that puts the decision-making process in the heart of the skier as to which way to remove the skin, from the tip or the tail. It may sound simple, but the number of times you’re out there and need to make an adjustment on the fly is pretty astounding. Built with a Mohair mix for grip and traction, these skins will take you to the top of the craggiest and most distant peaks with efficiency and confidence.
