When powder seems like a distant memory and you're almost on the verge of tears, climb into the Volkl Unlimited AC50, open up the throttle, and see how the other side gets its jollies. With its GS-spec sidecut and integrated, free-flexing Marker Motion iPT binding system, this ski RIPS on hard snow, period. Volkl's Extended Double Grip design applies every calorie of effort directly to the edges, giving the AC50 the appearance of a mid-fat but the grip of a race-room slalom ski when you lean it over. Meanwhile, dual titanium-alloy sheets sandwich the AC50's full-length wood core, giving you power and dampness to handle cheek-rippling velocities. Should you find yourself atop a crud field or a mogul run, don't panic; the AC50's dimensions mean it can and will perform admirably in adverse conditions, and it'll even ski powder if you sleep through the forecast. But make no mistake: the AC50 is bred to go fast, and the Unlimited name is referring to your opportunities for pass revocation.
Bottom Line: Faster...FASTER! KILL! KILLLLL!!!

I demoed these skis in 177 cm and absolutely loved them. They are without a doubt the best resort ski out there. I'm 6', 170 lbs and an expert skier. Just curious if the 184's ski much different? Besides the typical greater stability from a longer ski and all, can anyone offer some first hand experience from trying both? Thanks.

I have skied both lengths and I found the 184's a bit more stable for me at speed and leaning hard into them. The 177's seemed maybe a bit quicker back and forth, but I preferred the stability (I guess I'm not sure if it is actual or if it is mental) of the 184's. I am 6'3", about 240 lbs, aggressive front of the boot skier. Being a bit smaller, the 177 might be just fine for you.

I have the AC50 for 2 years now. They are great, I love them.
Do new ski's require a wax job before use?

I always wax a pair of ski's when I bring them home for the first time. That's how you know for sure what the bottoms are prepped for.

Ski companies put a factory wax on the ski when it is produced, however, there is usually a significant amount of time in between the production and the sale of the time so waxing the skis is definitely recommended.

I scored these puppies off of BC's Tramdock site. :)
By far the best all-mtn ski I have ever ridden (and I've ridden a few dozen). I've skied them @ 8 times so far and have not even begun to find their limits. They command respect from piles of Eastern crud, hold an edge on ice like a figure skate, and simply do not chatter--at least at speeds of up to 30-35 (as far as I have pushed them so far).
It's a beefy ski so if you need to do more than a few very tight jump turns back to back in a narrow spot, you better be strong.
Only, and I mean only downside, is that my 184s are only passable in the bumps.
I have Volkl EXP 724s, same length, and can tear up the bumps vs the AC50s. But if you want a ski that won't let you down in any other condition the AC50 is your board.
Simply the best--even at near retail prices.

I'm 6'3" 220 lbs. 50 yr old aging, but still aggressive skier. I bought a set of these last year and they made me feel 19 again. I ski the 185s and they are very stable at up to any speed you can handle. I skied them at A-Basin in knee deep powder last year and they were a blast. Ice? No problem. 'Handles it like a hockey skate. Two years ago, I was skiing my K2 Mod X Pro 195s with my 20 year old very athletic son, and thought I was loosing it, since I couldn't keep up with him. No more on my AC 50s. They have the need for speed. Put the AC 50s on their edge and they carve turns like no other ski, including my old K2 710 slalom skis. The bottom line is that I am really glad I bought them and would recommend them to any skier, intermediate level and above.
Change me.
