Earhart 88 Renoun Skis: Crafted for the Female Skier
Our Winter Editor, Adam, recently put the Renoun Atlas 80 carving skis to the test, following his earlier exploration of the Renoun Citadel all-mountain skis. His praise for both models was resounding, making me all the more eager to discover the latest offering from Renoun, specifically designed for women.
Nestled along the borders of Canada and the USA, in the picturesque locales of Vermont and Quebec, Renoun skis have piqued my curiosity. Having primarily skied on models from the Alps, I was intrigued to see what innovations the Americas had in store.
The Magic of VibeStop™ Technology
A standout feature of Renoun skis is their proprietary VibeStop™ technology, which utilizes a polymer originally developed for NASA. This Anti-vibration Hyper Damping Technology (HDT) claims to be a ‘non-Newtonian polymer,’ meaning it responds dynamically to vibrations. When subjected to shock, the polymer hardens, effectively dampening vibrations while adjusting to varying snow conditions and skiing intensity. To me, it sounds a bit like voodoo, but the science behind it is compelling.
As speed and intensity increase, the skis become more rigid, reducing vibrations by over 300%, leading to enhanced stability and support. Conversely, during more leisurely skiing or when skiing through softer, fluffier snow, the skis soften, allowing for a more flexible ride. Plus, this polymer is lighter than traditional resin, making the skis easy to haul around the town.
A Solution for Skiers with Knee Concerns
What truly piqued my interest in trying Renoun skis was the feedback from fellow skiers who struggle with knee issues. Many have reported that the VibeStop™ technology alleviates pain, allowing them to ski longer without the need for painkillers. With a previous ACL knee injury and Osteoarthritis in my knees, this could mean less pressure and vibrations going through my knees, so better recovery and maybe more time on the mountain too.
In essence, Renoun skis present an enticing option for female skiers seeking performance tailored to their needs. With cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design, they promise not just a ride but a path to joyful, pain-free skiing.
Renoun Women’s Earhart 88: Embrace the Mountain with Style and Versatility
Designed by women, for women, the Renoun Earhart 88 skis are the embodiment of all-mountain adventure. Named after the trailblazing Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1932, these skis capture her spirit of determination and exploration. With their ‘can-do-anything’ attitude, the Earhart 88 invites female skiers to conquer every inch of the mountain and push their limits.
Versatile Performance Across Conditions
My experience was that the Earhart 88s excel in a variety of conditions. Whether gliding through powder, manoeuvring in slush, or tackling choppy snow, the skis rise to the occasion. The slight rocker profile, 15% at the tip and 5% at the tail facilitates excellent flotation, making them feel shorter and more nimble when navigating bumps. The VibeStop™ technology shines when you need to power through heavier snow, or through some fast dynamic carved turns providing the necessary support when required.
On groomed pistes, the Earhart 88 does not compare to a pure ‘one trick pony’ carving ski, but then that is not what they are built for, they were created to enjoy the whole mountain. Ice and hard-pack pistes could be tricky at times, but then who enjoys those other than World Cup racers?
A Splash of Style on the Slopes
Visually, the Earhart 88 stands out with some of the most striking graphics in the Renoun lineup. Fun, funky, and bursting with vibrant colours, these skis are sure to turn heads on the mountain. They are not just a performance tool; they are a statement piece, I even got my nails painted to match the colours and graphics!
In essence, the Renoun Women’s Earhart 88 skis represent a remarkable blend of performance and style, expertly crafted for women who seek versatility across diverse mountain conditions. I find myself tempted to attach touring bindings and fit some skins, ready to explore uncharted territories like their namesake. With the Earhart 88, the mountain is yours to explore.
