2025 Volkl Secret 88 Women's Skis

Kenja 88 fans can breathe a sigh of relief – while the name has changed to Secret 88, the ski itself is the same solid, high-performance all-mountain ripper we know and love. By blending a wood core with carbon and titanal, Volkl utilizes its best technologies to create a ski with unrivaled strength and power for uncompromised carving with the ability to confidently venture off trail into mixed terrain and soft snow.

Why we like it:

The Secret 88 is one of the best and most loved high-performance all-mountain skis for advanced and expert women on the market. Volkl has hit on something truly special with the Secret 88 – it’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t love this ski.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert women looking for a versatile all-mountain ski that feels precise, stable, energetic, and bulletproof. East Coasters especially love the Secret 88 as their go-to daily driver.

Highlights:

The Secret 88 hits the sweet spot for all mountain versatility, especially here in the East. A Poplar and Beech wood core generates energy and provides a consistent and predictable flex, while Volkl’s Tailored Titanal Frame adds power and damping for precision and smoothness through the turn. Rocker in the tips and tails means you can take the Secret 88 into mixed snow and powder knowing it will be playful and maneuverable. When you’re back on trail, the Tailored Carbon Tips make for easy turn initiation, and the 3D Radius sidecut ensures you can make a variety of turn shapes effortlessly.

Things to consider:

The Secret 88 is very much a directional ski with a traditional feel, so those with a more creative skiing style will find other options are better suited to their needs. This is a fairly stiff ski, so strong skiers do best here, and those still working on their fundamentals should look for something more forgiving to help their progression.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
