Manufacturers description
Big Mountain Touring says a lot about Völkl's ultra light Touring fats. The BMT models are similar to the V-Werks Katana at first glance, but the BMT has even lower dead weight, even lower swing weight thanks to its ultra-thin 3D.Ridge profile in combination with lighter woods of lower density that also have milled air channels in them. One unlike Katana V-Werks is the side cut, where BMT must be more easily charged and more forgiving for the target group who often have softer and less powerful touring boots but still intend to go the same challenging road down the mountain - Völkl has chosen tapered shape - ie the side cut goes not all the way forward resp. back but has slightly parallel edges at the front and back. Awesome.

Strengths:
Super float and can carve or slarve a powder turn. They can pivot well and break loose from a turn when needed, but are pretty chargey when you want to drive the tips in big wide turns.
Weaknesses:
They hold a decent edge, but aren’t the best on really firm snow, or the most comfortable side hilling in steep firm conditions.
Summary:
A really good powder ski that is capable of negotiating firmer snow. They are not super light but not overly heavy for their dimensions. Paired with a light weight touring binding, they make a great powder touring ski.
Model year: 2017
Riding style: Ski Touring
Length on the ski: 186 cm
Riders weight: 85 kg
