The Vital 100 is your ski for alpine conquests - a precision tool for situations where edge hold is paramount. Impressively stable for its weight, this ski charges intuitively in any condition, while remaining easy to pivot for technical maneuverability. The secret of the Vital 100’s unique performance characteristics lies in the integration of advanced biobased materials, which allow it to punch above its weight class in any terrain.

Wow

Bought as a touring ski, liked them so much I just ordered another pair for inbounds. Awesome edge grip on the hardpack for reverse camber. Super playful but also confidence inspiring.

Vital 100 second review

This is my second review of the Vial 100 (176 cm) skis.
The first review was not very favorable, I found them quite sluggish and
not very responsive to Telemark turns. I am a backcountry telemark skier, with over 50+ years of experience. I have the Vital's set us with NTN bindings (Meidjo 3.0) and Scarpa TX Pro NTN boots. The Vital does not feel very snappy like the skis I am use to i.e. ( Goode 106), DPS Wailer 112 RP and Pagoda tour) all of these skis have the same binding and boot configuration. The Vial is very slow in reacting to a turn (telemark) The ski much better in an alpine turn than a telemark turn,
As for skinning - Not much difference between the Vital and the rest of my quiver. I am adjusting to the feel of the Vital and it is performing a little better. I give them a solid 4 out of 10. I would not recommend WNDR skis for a telemark setup i hope you post this review, because the first one did not get posted?

Roger, thanks for the reply. Can you share where you mounted them? We think mounting telemark pin line can make or break the feel. Don't hesitate to reach out and let us know what we can do to ensure you love them?! Thanks again for your review and honesty!

Excellent skis

I’ve been really impressed with the Vital 100s. They are incredibly agile, yet damp and predictable. They’re lightweight, yet stable.

I’ve skied them in boot top pow and boiler plate—the rocketed tip keeps them afloat and the camber helps them hold an edge on firm snow. I really like how you can pivot the ski in confined terrain.

All in all, I’d highly recommend this ski.

Ripping ski for those who prefer a traditional feel

I have the Vital 100's in a 183 Traditional Camber. This ski does it all and makes you feel like a rock star doing it. Forgiving, lively, and Hard-charging grip and stabilty.

Vital to my Quiver

The vital is the perfect all around ski. Fun, snappy, and quick but still floats through pow and crust. The ski rides solid but not too big. I'm 5'5" and rode the 176cm which felt perfect. Although this may not be lightest ski available, it is worth weight as this board can charge the steeps and float the pow.
