Product Info
Rock solid and precise as they get, the Völkl Nanuq Skis are one of the few alpine touring skis that ski like a "real" (read "alpine") ski when the chips are down. Still light enough not to bog you down on a week-long hut trip and absolutely confidence inspiring on the steep, the Nanuq gets our vote for a ski that you can use both inbounds and out without some serious disappointment at either end of the spectrum.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Touring Tip Rocker – Only bends upwards in the shovel area, while the middle and tail of the ski feature a traditional camber shape. The cambered area underneath the foot and at the tail provides control and support.
Shape
Classic Shape
Core
Multi Layer Woodcore Light – Multi-layer core of very lightweight wood with channels milled out of the bottom for additional weight savings. Denser ash is used in the binding mount area for extra pullout strength, while lighter poplar is used in the tip and tail.
Laminates
Tough Box Construction – Völkl protects the goods (in this case the Multi Layer Wood Core) with a composite and fiberglass sheath for resilience, durability and snap.
Sidewalls
Full Sidewall – Direct and strong power transmission with full length sidewalls.
Base
P-Tex 2100 Base – A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.
Additional Features
Skin Pin – Tip fittings accept Völkl glue-free Vacuum techonology climbing skins.
Made in Germany
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain:
Alpine Touring

Terrain
Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level:

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

Turning Radius
Long > 22 m radius is best for powder and big-mountain.
- Core/Laminates: Wood

Tail Type:
Flat
More
Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
