By late morning the groomers are fast, and the Valhalla 97 Ski stays balanced from tip to tail as the speed climbs. This all-mountain ski gets a new core profile and flex pattern for 2027, a more balanced and progressive flex that ramps up for everyday skiing. A tapered sidecut on the 97 millimeter waist keeps the ski nimble when the run narrows into tight terrain. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Park laps before lunch felt easy because the rocker at both ends kept the tips and tails from hooking on landings, and the camber underfoot stayed lively on the groomer back to the lift. A narrow cat track took little effort to turn on. At 97 millimeters it is a daily driver and not my first pick for deep powder days."
