Description
The Volkl Racetiger SC Ski features a titanal strip and tailored carbon tips. This season, a slightly wider carbon shovel impresses with its extreme turning ability, yet it can still be skied extremely smooth and balanced. Of course, the Racetiger SC requires a certain level of experience, but it is a slalom ski with a wide range of use and surprisingly effortless to ride for sporty skiers. It provides lots of control at the limit, but you can just as easily slow down whenever you feel like going a little smoother. Pleasure skiing at its best.

On average, your skis should fall somewhere between your chin and forehead when held upright. There are a few additional details that play a significant role in determining which ski size is best fit for you. After consulting the size chart, be sure to consider your weight, skill level, skiing style and the type of terrain you’ll be frequenting.
Here are some reasons for sizing up or down:
Weight
- Size up if you are closer to the high end of your weight range or above average weight for your height.
- Size down if you are closer to the low end of your weight range or below average weight for your height.
Skill Level and Style
-
Size up if you are an advanced/expert skier who prefers
to be fast and aggressive in style.
- Longer skis tend to have a more stable feel.
-
Size down if you are a beginner/intermediate skier who
prefers skiing at a more leisurely pace with quick turns.
- Shorter skis offer higher overall manoeuverability.
Terrain
- Size up if you love to explore the backcountry. Most off-piste skiers lean towards longer skis.
- Size down if you prefer carving your way down a well-groomed mountain or hard pack snow.
