Rise Above 88
Rise Above 88
The Völkl Rise Above 88 is a versatile ski for touring ascents and descents. Its 88 mm waist and three-radius shape help it manoeuvre through narrow terrain. A layered wood core combines low weight with stability and smoothness. Continuous sidewalls support a stable construction, while the raised tip helps the ski move through the snow.
Model features
- Tip–waist–tail dimensions: 131–88–111 mm.
- Tip rocker and 3D-radius sidecut.
- Layered wood core and continuous sidewalls.
- Smart Skin Clip skin attachment.
- Lengths offered here: 156, 163, 170 and 177 cm.
Choosing your setup
Match ski length to your height, skiing ability and touring plans. Consider both the climb and the descent, including narrow passages in the terrain. Völkl identifies Fibre Tech and Smart Glue as compatible skin systems for the Smart Skin Clip. Select the skin version that suits the ski length. Check the binding and ski boot against their approvals and mounting requirements; the ski's waist width alone does not establish a fully compatible setup.
Before use
Have the binding professionally mounted, adjusted and tested. Inspect the skis, binding and skins for visible damage before touring, and follow each manufacturer's instructions when caring for your equipment.
