In automotive engineering applied to lightweight coupés designed for everyday dynamism, reinforcing the frame with fiberglass structures combined with targeted metal reinforcements in the chassis helps filter out surface irregularities without compromising front-end agility. The Völkl Yumi 84 161 cm brings this technical solution to all-mountain skiing. Its mechanical core consists of the Multi Layer Woodcore wood core, which combines dense laminates beneath the mounting area to ensure unwavering binding screw retention, with selected poplar wood at the extremities for responsive flex and lively turn exit.

Instead of relying on rigid, heavy full-metal plates, it features the Glass Frame structure: an enveloping fiberglass frame that channels pressure directly to the edges, providing firm grip on hardpack while retaining supple, forgiving flex. Its great maneuverability comes from 3D Radius Sidecut technology (with radii of 21 m at the tip, 14 m underfoot, and 19 m at the tail for this 161 cm length): this triple curvature allows you to link short, tight turns with complete ease or lay the ski over at speed in open turns with impeccable stability. Its Tip & Tail Rocker profile with traditional camber underfoot provides natural turn initiation and smooth flotation in soft snow. Supplied without bindings (flat skis), it allows the skier to install alpine bindings (such as Marker Squire 11 or Griffon 13) or versatile systems with 90 mm brakes.
