2022 Rise Beyond 96 Women's Skis

Touring enthusiasts and backcountry skiers will love the blend of uphill efficiency and downhill performance of the Volkl Rise Beyond 96 women’s skis.

Why we like it:

We love skis that are meant for a specific purpose. The Rise Beyond 96 fits that description perfectly. Skiers who are looking for an easy climb and a fun descent will love how the Rise Beyond 96 rises to that occasion.

Who it's for:

Skiers who spend equal time going uphill and downhill. While some touring skis are billed as hybrid options, these Rise Beyond 96’s are happier in a pure backcountry format. You don’t normally ski the resort, and you’ll find a lot of success on the Rise Beyond 96.

Highlights:

Gratuitous tip rocker, a flat tail, and a light cap build round out the Rise Beyond’s highlight reel. These skis can easily go between firmer and more technical terrain and wide-open bowls as a result.

Things to consider:

Since the 96 is built and shaped to do everything quite well, it doesn’t necessarily excel in one particular area. The well-roundedness is great but can eliminate some potential strong points in the process.
