It’s time to set forth as an all-conditions expert on Volkl’s latest Katana 108 Skis. With a titanal-powered construction, a moderate turn radius, and a robust shape, the Katana 108 serves to bridge the gap between all-mountain performance and deep snow expertise. Though it falls on the ultra-wide end of the all-mountain spectrum, the Katana 108 performs surprisingly well on groomed terrain and thus becomes the perfect new alternative to the tired choice between the laid-back powder surfer and the precise corduroy cruiser. A mostly-cambered profile has a hand in such precision, with Volkl’s overall intention being to maximize edge hold despite its wide frame. A 3D Radius Sidecut further emphasizes the Katana 108’s precise turning abilities, with a shorter turn radius underfoot and longer radii in the tips and tails. A 36-meter radius at the tip of the 177 indicates that the Katana 108 will confidently pursue some of the biggest, most sweeping turns at high speeds. When combined with Volkl’s Titanal Frame and Carbon Tips, the Volkl Katana 108 Ski becomes a tremendously aggressive performer that will delight the hearts of only the most demanding big mountain skiers.
