Code Speedwall L UVO Ski with rMotion2 Code Green Binding

If you have one thing on your mind—carving up the frontside of the mountain—you probably have the Volkl Code Speedwall L UVO Ski with the rMotion 12.0 D Code Green Binding dancing in your dreams, even if you don't know it. With traditional camber underfoot, a layer of titanium, and a Speedwall 2.0 reinforced core, the Code is designed to be put on edge and cruise the groomers from the first bell to the last. The Speedwall 2.0 core, which utilizes hard wood by the edges and softer wood underfoot, gives the Code a powerful and grippy feel while remaining light and maneuverable. It also has a fairly deep sidecut, letting you rail powerful groomer turns without having to be overly aggressive.

The Code also has a few tricks up its sleeve. First, it's been constructed with a rockered tip and tail, which makes it easier to initiate turns and ride over uneven surfaces, and it gives you the ability to release from a turn at a moment's notice, so you never feel locked into a carve that's taking you right into a stand of trees. It also uses Volkl's UVO vibration-dampening system, which uses a free-floating counterbalance in the tip to counter 360 degrees of vibration, giving you a smooth, silky ride even when you're mobbing through rough snow.

Volkl also equipped the Code with the rMotion2 12.0 D binding, giving you a package that's ready to ride as soon as it hits your doorstep. With a footprint that's nearly as wide as the ski, it provides excellent power transmission to your edges, and comes with a DIN that ranges from 4-12, so it'll work for almost all skiers.
