Wonder Alpine Vital 98 Ski

The award-winning Vital 98 builds upon its predecessor with enhanced performance, stability, and versatility. Designed for those who seek precision and engagement on diverse terrain, this ski features optimized strength-to-weight ratios, improved stability, and advanced materials for a superior skiing experience.

Key Features:

• Dimensions: 126-98-117 mm
• Radius: 19.5 m @ 183 cm
• Weight: 1750 g @ 183 cm
• Flex: Progressive flex pattern with medium-to-stiff tail, transitioning to stiffer mid-section and softer tip. Provides solid stability underfoot and handles variable conditions with ease. The narrower width enhances torsional stiffness for optimal edge hold.
• Profile:
  • Camber: Ensures versatility, increased edge contact on-piste, and a traditional feel.
  • Reverse Camber: Offers playful off-piste float, charging capabilities, and pivotability.
• Intended Use: Perfect for all-mountain adventures, from boilerplate to boot-top powder.

Innovative Materials and Construction:

• Algal Core: A blend of microalgae-derived high-density polyurethane and aspen. Reduces weight and vibration while offering superior damping and stability.
• Algal Wall: Cast polyurethane sidewalls from microalgae oil, providing excellent damping and reducing chatter without adding weight.
• 2025 Spiral Plate: Our thinnest (3mm) binding insert yet, delivering ~47% better screw retention strength than maple inserts. This maintains a consistent flex from tip to tail, optimizing performance.
• Aluminum Tail Block: Enhances tail clip retention and easily penetrates stubborn snow, ideal for anchor building and steep terrain kick turns.

Additional Details:

• Artist: Designed by Christian Johansen
• Manufacture: Designed, developed, tested, and assembled in Salt Lake City, Utah
• Sustainability: Advances environmental goals by reducing landfill waste and minimizing the use of virgin materials.

The Vital 98 is crafted for those who demand the best in stability, performance, and environmental responsibility. Embrace the thrill of diverse terrain with a ski engineered to excel across all conditions.
