The Vision 98 is one of our top picks for a crossover touring ski. It's lightweight but strong construction is wonderfully versatile in all snow conditions and makes uphill a breeze

A perfect mixture of carbon, aramid (think Kevlar) and fibreglass render a lightweight playfulness and stability at speed for a setup that rallies whatever you throw in its path. This is the best ski for skiing the entire mountain and then going for a tour after the lifts stop.

The Vision will rally blown out snow, arc on groomers, and even motor skin-tracks if that's your thing. The 98mm waist footprint offers versatility for those days that you don't need the float.
