Nanuq 2017

Rock solid and precise as they get, the Völkl Nanuq Skis are one of the few alpine touring skis that ski like a "real" (read "alpine") ski when the chips are down. Still light enough not to bog you down on a week-long hut trip and absolutely confidence inspiring on the steep, the Nanuq gets our vote for a ski that you can use both inbounds and out without some serious disappointment at either end of the spectrum.
