Volkl’s Unlimited Series is a reference for all-mountain performance, and the Unlimited AC50 Ski is the biggest dog in the pack. This bad mid-fat mother updates last year’s award-winning Unlimited AC40 with a tad more beef in the waist, and comes complete with the Marker Motion iPT Wide Ride 14.0 Binding—a testament to the epic terrain this ski was built to shred. The AC50 has two sheets of titanium alloy sandwiching a full Sensorwood core for a smooth, powerful ride in chop, and an 85mm waist to keep you grinning in fresh powder. Meanwhile, the all-new, 30% wider iPT Wide Ride mounting system and longer Double Grip edge profile let you rail out groomers like a bullet train and carve up bulletproof steeps like an ice sculptor. If this sounds too good to be true, we suggest reading your copy of POWDER a second time. Basically, if the only things you avoid on the mountain are greens, blues, gapers and mogul comps, and you can only afford a single ski this season, well…get out your wallet.

Truly Unlimited.
