Volkl One Ski

When you use a little imagination, it's tough not to think of the Volkl One Ski as your beefy, bull brained bodyguard whose girthy waist and point and shoot attitude not only inspire confidence in your big mountain aspirations, but ensure you're up to snuff in terms of performance too. Moreover, the One Ski has a fairly chunky waist coming in hot at 116mm, making it ideal for power lunching through powder. Also, it boasts a strong poplar and ash core, torsion box wrap, and fiberglass reinforcements that add up to quickness, stability, and all terrain power. And while the One is a soft snow ski at heart typical bodyguard bluff, its full rocker lets you slash and slarve giant, loose turns. However, the Power Tough Box construction keeps the ski stiff, so you can rail hardpack turns like you're on a much narrower plank. A large radius sidecut means you'll be stable as a table, with none of the high speed twitchiness that can sometimes plague rockered skis, and the vertical sidewalls make sure the ski doesn't twist or feel squirrely when you're putting it through its paces. The One's tapered tip and tail let you make smooth, catch free turns in soft snow and on hardpack, too, so you can take it through perfect pow, windbuff, chunder, and hardpack without batting an eyelash.
