Völkl Rise High 88 24/25 Touring Ski
Product description
An ultra-light full carbon ski for the experienced ski tourer.
What are the key criteria for demanding ski tourers? Weight? Uphill performance? Riding qualities? Behaviour in unfavourable conditions? All of it? Then this is the perfect ski! The Rise High 88 with a full carbon jacket offers a fantastic weight-performance ratio and optimum stability. Despite weighing in at just 1,065 g (@ 170 cm), it offers great durability on long, demanding tours in high alpine terrain, making it ideal for experienced ski mountaineers.
In addition to the carbon construction, the 88 also features the unique Smart Skin Clip attachment system, which is compatible with both Fibre Tech and Smart Glue skins.

The extra-light hybrid multilayer wood core is a very complex core that is used in the Blaze. Light and very stable poplar and beech woods, individually weighed and selected by weight before gluing, are used in this wood core. In the tip-to-tail construction, the wood extends to the tip of the blade and end, giving them the sophisticated combination of good stability and low weight. In the center of the core, a CNC-milled Isocore area contributes to optimal liveliness and dynamic development. All in all, this design allows the stability of the ski to meet the high demands of a freeride ski, and this at a weight that is only slightly higher than that of a touring ski.
Material layup for direct transmission and high reliability/stability at the lighest possible weight.
A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.
BRUSHED base structure on flat skis with wider widths Superficial & shallow structure matches with wide skis and their bigger bearing face › optimum agility & turning characteristics.
- Less catching
- Easier & smooth turn initiation
Only bends upwards in the shovel area, while the middle and tail of the ski feature a camber shape. The Völkl rocker construction is directly integrated into the production cycle, so the rocker shape doesn’t need to be bent afterwards, which makes the matching between the rocker and the other components much more harmonized and precise:
