When we want to lay trenches on groomers we turn to the Volkl Deacon 84 Ski Lowrider XL 13 Binding. The Deacon 84 ski encourages high speed carving thanks to the 3D radius sidecut that can be turned tightly or let ride wide open comfortably. When transition between these turns of different sizes, the rocker in the tip and tail help ensure we don't hook an edge. Meanwhile the Lowrider XL 13 binding provides reliable release and peace of mind.
