The original Katana was a lot of ski, the Katana 108 is still a lot of ski but its much easier to manage and control. It's not super light but it's lighter than the original and the new construction and 3D radius make it fun and lively not a 2x4. Taking the Katana 108 through the trees and steeps was a non-issue, honestly an area where I thought it was going to be too much work. While the Katana is only 108 in the waist and the rocker profile isn't insane it floats really well and can slash a turn with ease. A Volkl that can slash and carve is a rare, but with a name like Katana why would expect anything else.
Beech/Poplar Core
Titanal + Carbon Fiber tip and tail
Designed by: Volkl // Built by: Volkl, Germany Factory
TLDR: Don't be afraid.
Recommended Binding: The Volkl Katana 108's do NOT include a binding -- the best skis come flat.
