Our StoryStormrider VXL
The Stormrider VXL is an all-mountain ski that shares performance and heritage with the Stormrider 78 with a little more oomph and girth. The wide shovel and 87 to 88 mm waist (depending on length) is designed to offer some float in powder and crud bustability to tame variable snow conditions, while maintaining a deep side-cut to allow for great edge control on the hard pack. The versatile VXL is built strong enough for jaunts in the side country with a slightly stiffer flex and wider footprint than its more front side oriented sibling, the 78. Its wood core surrounded by fiberglass makes the VXL a top performer with great longevity.
