Description of Volkl Unlimited AC50 Alpine Ski w/ Motion iPT Wide Ride 14.0 Binding: |
|
Volkl’s Unlimited Series is a reference for all-mountain performance, and the Unlimited AC50 Ski is the biggest dog in the pack. This bad mid-fat mother updates last year’s award-winning Unlimited AC40 with a tad more beef in the waist, and comes complete with the Marker Motion iPT Wide Ride 14.0 Binding—a testament to the epic terrain this ski was built to shred. The AC50 has two sheets of titanium alloy sandwiching a full Sensorwood core for a smooth, powerful ride in chop, and an 85mm waist to keep you grinning in fresh powder. Meanwhile, the all-new, 30% wider iPT Wide Ride mounting system and longer Double Grip edge profile let you rail out groomers like a bullet train and carve up bulletproof steeps like an ice sculptor. If this sounds too good to be true, we suggest reading your copy of POWDER a second time. Basically, if the only things you avoid on the mountain are greens, blues, gapers and mogul comps, and you can only afford a single ski this season, well…get out your wallet.
Bottom Line: Truly Unlimited.

| AC40 owner 11-11-08 |
R.Barclay (15):  |
| such is the case in the ski world. I bought the AC40s last year, and they're sick. I can't imagine them being any better, but apparently the AC50s are. Ice? That was ice? It felt like butter. These things love to turn, but will hold on as long as you can in longer arcs. Fast, fast, fast. Don't forget to breath. I ski my AC40s at 170cm, volkl recommended 163. The longer ski is still effortless. I feel like I'm cheating at the sport. This may not be the best in the powder, but for most people, having a powder ski is like having expensive sunglasses in Kodiak. In my opinion, this is the one ski to have in your arsenal. You absolutely will not regret buying these. I actually skipped classes last year to ski these... and my grades improved!! Must have been the extra endorphines. For the record, I had a 12 year ski hiatus from 5 knee surgeries, then finished college. I'm 31 now, so if I can ski these, anyone can. |

| AC50's & Iron Maiden, a match made in... 02-11-09 |
| tnt4451 (3): |
| Caution: Mixing the Volkl AC50's with Iron Maiden blaring in your ears can be potentially hazardous to your health if you are not prepared for the consequences. These ski's rip. As any adrenaline junkie or ex-racer will appreciate, Iron Maiden during free skiing or training seems to make everything much more intense and fast. These ski's have the same impact to your skiing as the intensity of The Number of the Beast. While I haven't had them in deep powder, whether moderate powder, chop, crud, groomed, ice, these ski truly perform...stable, smooth, & powerful. If you ski these like they were meant to be, they don't carve, they launch you on rails. Hang on! I'm 5'7" and ski the 177 and find it performs extremely well at both long and short turns. You can turn the volumn down and have fun skiing on them at moderate speeds & turns, but the skis strengths definitely shine the faster and harder you ski them...in any terrain. Need a big dump out here to see how they do in deeper powder... |

| AC50s are a bullet train 12-31-08 |
Josh Orum (1):  |
| Wow, these are fast. If you want to rip down the mountain and love a long turn radius, these are your dream come true. Buy your ticket, climb aboard and rocket down the mountain.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a pair of groomer/bump skis and prefer slalom over GS turns (like me), I'd choose to the AC30s.
I'm 5'8" 155lbs and skied the 170s. |
