Volkl RTM 73 2018 Ski Review

Off piste, it’s not as impressive, but that is to be expected when a ski’s design is geared towards the piste. The RTM 73 was far from uncomfortable off piste though, meaning that if you did want to try your hand at hopping of the edge of a run every now and then, you could happily do so.

Like a good instructor, the Volkl RTM 73 is friendly, supportive and will push you to the best of your potential. We would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their abilities this winter.
