Hmmm. You should PM a price on the two shortys in the middle.a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Did some searching but not much info on the Rise Beyond
Some good deals right now: https://www.telemark-pyrenees.com/sk...nd-96-ski-2023
I wonder if they ski like a cambered tail or if the camber is minimal and the tails feel loose enough to not catch too much? Seems like a nice ski for mountaineering around here.

Missed any sizing info. Are there 191s?
-

No longs. 186 bode is prob the longest.
The puder luders may be 190
Anyone that claims a ski I'll honor once I get my hands on them. Peace

You guys have any experience with the Volkl Rise Beyond ski? I'm looking for a burly spring mountaineering ski. I'd also take an older VTA in what, 167-169- up to 171 (I'm 5.5 and 130#).

Anyone have thoughts on og katanas vs og bodacoius?
Buddy is giving me whatever, I'm on og devastators as the daily. Was thinking an old legend pro 94 waist for groomers. And the katana for the big ski. Now thinking the bodacoius for the big ski.
Both would prob be rad. Bodes would be more chargey me thinks

Bump, also interested in more data on these.
Tiphaine Duperier and Boris Langenstein are using the narrower versions to do some next level skiing!

They are skiing some incredible lines! I try not to take too much from what equipment pros are using since they are required to say good things, and they are skilled enough to make it work on any skis. For my and my mediocre ability, I found the tails on the Rise Beyond 98 to be too demanding in weird backcountry snow conditions but they were excellent on consistent firm snow and the construction is fantastic as one would expect with Volkl.

Those 184 Katanas are great skis. I daily drove those at Jackson Hole one season back in 2014. I had the 191s too, but was only 180lbs back then so the 184s saw a lot more use. Both sizes are some of my favorite skis of all time
Katana is a better daily driver, Bodacious is a better powder ski. Katana still skis powder well, and Bodacious can still be daily driven if you like a wide ski and/or ski at a high snowfall area.
Both charge great, but I think I’d give the nod to Bodacious in off piste terrain. The Bodacious will flap more though if you are just railing a groomer at high speeds, the Katana is better for mach snell on piste.

Both are cold dead hands skis for me. You should get a set of each if you can lol.
I can’t wait to ski my Katana 108s this upcoming season. I’m a little late to the party, but better late than never.
