The Volkl Yumi 84 is a great frontside all-mountain ski for lightweight skiers, or skiers with a more conservative ski style. Built with a similar profile to its bigger sister, the Kenja 88, this ski features Volkl’s Frame Construction, but instead of a Titanal frame, this one receives a Fiberglass frame. This helps bring the weight of the ski down while still providing good torsional stiffness for solid edge hold and overall stability. The glass frame also gives the ski a very snappy and energetic feel. Running through the center of the ski is a Titanal band for added vibration and stability. At 84 millimeters under the boot, the Yumi 84 provides great performance on trial, but it allows for plenty of versatility to get off the groomers and into the bumps and trees. In fact, thanks to how light the ski is, it is impeccably maneuverable in technical terrain and sure makes a great bump ski. The Yumi 84 also features a fairly elongated rocker profile which really adds to its overall user friendliness and versatility. Not only does this rocker help provide a little bit of float when things get soft, but it allows the ski to pivot very easily for effortless short radius turns. The Yumi 84 is ultimately a very approachable ski that offers a lot of value in a well-balanced package. Low end intermediates to advanced skier that might not prefer top-end speeds would really enjoy the quickness and energy of the Volkl Yumi 84.
