WNDR AlpineVital 98 Camber 2025 Skis

Touring perfection designed with biotechnology

The Vital 98 is a premium touring-ski wit a predictable, precise, and stable platform. By slightly increasing the tip stiffness and extending the running surface, stability has been improved. The inclusion of a SpiralMade™ binding retention plate creates even flexural properties, while the Algal Core and Algal Wall reduce weight and vibration. An updated tail block improves tail clip retention and easily punches through stubborn layers in the snowpack - a massive benefit for kick turns in steep terrain.

Riding Style
A touring ski for advanced riders. This ski has been designed for all kinds of ski touring. Robust, lightweight and manoeuvrable - perfect for exploring untouched terrain or for touring at the resort.

Shape
The directional shape has a slightly wider nose than tail. The binding and sidecut are set back slightly. This increases stability at higher speeds and flotation in soft snow. 

Profile
This ski features a classic camber under the binding, a rocker area in the tip and a smaller rocker in the tail. The rockered nose improves manoeuvrability and floatation, while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response for firm snow.

Construction
AlgalTech™ materials take novel biobased materials derived from microalgae, designed from the ground up, to create superior performance. The Algal Core is a vertically laminated composite of biobased high density polyurethane and domestically sourced aspen. Algal Wall is a biobased cast polyurethane sidewall that protects the Algal Core and delivers better damping than a traditional, petroleum-based ABS sidewall. The SpiralMade™ boot plate and insert pack outperform traditional maple in pullout strength testing, resulting in greater durability and binding retention.
