Volkl Rise Beyond 96 2025

The Völkl Rise Beyond 96 is a powder-oriented touring ski built around a 3D Radius sidecut, blending three radii into one platform for lively, versatile descents. Its tip rocker lifts the shovel for impressive float in soft snow, while the cambered mid-section and tail keep the ski composed on firmer terrain. A hybrid multilayer wood core, reinforced with Carbon.Tip, keeps weight low without sacrificing the stability demanded by freeride-oriented touring.

On the ascent, the Rise Beyond 96 proves to be a dependable partner: the lightweight construction and balanced flex make long climbs efficient, while the same 3D radius shape rewards both wide, sweeping powder turns and tighter, agile lines when the terrain narrows. This is a ski for ski tourers who want one board for the uphill and the downhill—equally at home in all-mountain touring terrain and soft-snow freeride.
