When powder seems like a distant memory and youre almost on the verge of tears, climb into the Volkl Unlimited AC50, open up the throttle, and see how the other side gets its jollies. With its GS-spec sidecut and integrated, free-flexing Marker Motion iPT binding system, this ski RIPS on hard snow, period. Volkls Extended Double Grip design applies every calorie of effort directly to the edges, giving the AC50 the appearance of a mid-fat but the grip of a race-room slalom ski when you lean it over. Meanwhile, dual titanium-alloy sheets sandwich the AC50s full-length wood core, giving you power and dampness to handle cheek-rippling velocities. Should you find yourself atop a crud field or a mogul run, dont panic; the AC50s dimensions mean it can and will perform admirably in adverse conditions, and itll even ski powder if you sleep through the forecast. But make no mistake: the AC50 is bred to go fast, and the Unlimited name is referring to your opportunities for pass revocation.
