The Volkl Peregrine 76 is a narrow-waisted all-mountain frontside ski built for skiers who spend their days on groomed terrain. A multi-radius sidecut, a poplar and beech wood core, and titanal layering give it a smooth, grippy character that makes carving feel easy and natural for skiers still dialing in their technique.

Why we like it:

The multi-radius sidecut is a smart touch on a ski at this level, letting it mix short and long turns instead of forcing one shape. There's a forgiving, confidence-building feel here that doesn't punish a less-than-perfect stance.

Who it's for:

Intermediate skiers working toward a stronger, more confident carving game on trail. A solid fit for someone who skis mostly groomers and wants a ski that grips well without demanding expert input.

Highlights:

The Peregrine 76 leans on Volkl's 3D Radius sidecut, which blends a longer tip radius for stability, a tighter center radius for easy short turns, and an open tail radius for a smooth exit. Underfoot sits a multilayer poplar and beech wood core, with denser beech worked toward the edges for grip and lighter poplar through the center for an easier, peppier feel. Volkl adds titanal for damping and power along with its 3D Glass laminate, which folds the fiberglass into a three-dimensional shape to boost stiffness and snap over a flat laminate. Tailored carbon tips keep the shovel light and responsive. It's an approachable, planted platform that rewards progression.

Things to consider:

This is a frontside ski through and through. Take it into deep snow or heavy chop and the narrow waist will show its limits. Skiers who already charge hard will likely want more metal and muscle than the Peregrine 76 offers.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Peregrine 76 sizes true to length. Pick your usual size; drop a length for easier handling or bump up for more stability as your speed grows.
