it's worth it!
The Rise Above 88 is a freeride, touring ski for men from Völkl which represents an ideal compromise between lightness and stability to have as much fun on the way up as on the way down.
Designed with a Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore core made of light-weight poplar and paulownia wood, this ski is perfect for ascents, with good maneuverability in difficult and narrow passages. On the descent, the rocker in the spatula offers an extraordinary flotation and its flat tail brings rigidity to be stable at high speed.
The 3D Radius Sidecut design allows the Rise Above 88 to perform well in large turns while being very manoeuvrable in short, narrow passages. It also features Smart Skinclip technology, which makes it easier and faster to apply the skins so you can save time and energy on your climbs.
- P-Tex 2100 sintered polyethylene base offers ideal strength and glide
- Tip Rocker with traditional camber at the waist
- Hybrid multi-layer core Woodcore (poplar and paulownia)
- Marker Alpinist bindings recommended

Turn radius 3D RADIUS:
The use of the long radius in the tip and tail for large high speed turns provides excellent manoeuvrability and easy turn clearance. The use of the shorter radius for smaller, medium-speed turns provides agility and easier turn initiation for smoother short turns.

Smart Skinclip :
This system allows the skier to decide, depending on the situation, which direction to put on and remove the skin. A standard carabiner at the rear end of the ski allows the skin to be attached and detached from the rear. The skin can also be applied and removed quickly and easily from the front. The spring carabiner is easy to use with gloves. A slight indent in the tip of the ski gives the hook lateral guidance and prevents it from unintentionally releasing the skin while walking.
