Designed to deliver the same power and precision in a narrower, more accessible format, the Shine 78 offers ladies an energetic ride and performance-driven feel, but with less demand on the skier. Its narrower waist and shorter turn radius make it nimble and intuitive, ideal for those who want high-level performance at a more relaxed pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the most versatile of the Shine lineup, the Shine 78 has a huge sweet spot for frontside skiers and will appeal to a large swath of women looking for a refined feel in an approachable ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdvancing intermediate skiers aiming to hone their technique on groomed terrain will find the Shine 78 an excellent fit. Advanced and expert skiers who prefer a smoother, more laid-back ride will also appreciate what this ski brings to the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolkl has adapted the proven shape and design of the wider Peregrines to the Shine 78, incorporating their signature 3D Radius sidecut and a subtle rocker\/taper profile in the tip and tail. These elements make it easy to vary turn shapes while maintaining a confident, maneuverable feel. Instead of a central Titanal band, the Shine 78 uses steel for a slightly softer flex, catering to lighter skiers yet offering the smooth, stable ride Volkl is known for—just in a more approachable form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery aggressive skiers may find the Shine 78 reaches its limits at higher speeds, as it’s designed for shorter turns at more moderate speeds.  With a 78 mm waist and directional shape, the Shine 78 is clearly geared toward frontside skiing—powder and deep snow adventurers will want to look wider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese ski true to size; selection should be made based on height, weight, and preferred terrain and skiing style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Volkl","offers":[{"title":"149","offer_id":50062131396904,"sku":"V2511053|149","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"156","offer_id":50062131429672,"sku":"V2511053|156","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"163","offer_id":50062131462440,"sku":"V2511053|163","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2026-volkl-shine-78-skis-w-lowride-11-tcx-bindings-v2511053-v2511053.jpg?v=1774449669","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2026-volkl-shine-78-skis-w-lowride-11-tcx-bindings-v2511053","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
