Some may call it futuristic, others may think it’s insane, but the fact of the matter is that the Volkl Katana V.Werks Skis are exactly what is needed for a select few. This select group of skiers spends most of their time in the deepest, most challenging terrain, seeking out direct, big mountain lines that defy the odds of aggression. When the Katana V.Werks’ robust frame is considered, its unique appeal becomes rather unsurprising for those referenced above. At 112mm underfoot, this tried-and-true athlete has an undeniable preference for deeper snow, enlisting the expertise of its fully-rockered construction to get it there and get it done, flawlessly. When Volkl’s Full Carbon Jacket is added to the mix, the Katana V.Werks transforms from a surfy powder king into a quick-turning demon. Unwavering stiffness, uncompromised precision, and unbelievable quickness are a direct result of this construction, with each of these characteristics allowing the Katana V.Werks to retain its signature strength and power despite its minimal inclusion of wood. The final product is a true test of ingenuity that serves to defy the odds of skiing magic by endowing expert skiers with a strikingly aggressive feel that can be found in none other than the Volkl Katana V.Werks Ski.
