Van Deer H-POWER68 Ski Set + MARKERCOMP 13 Bindings

The Van Deer H-POWER68, paired with the MARKERCOMP 13 binding, forms a package designed for discerning skiers looking to showcase their technique on the slopes. Developed with World Cup DNA, this alpine ski is aimed at advanced to expert skiers who are comfortable on groomed runs and seek precise, responsive, and direct handling. The Van Deer H-POWER68 Ski + MARKERCOMP 13 Binding Package delivers a balance between the technical precision inherited from competition and an approachability that allows for fluid, enjoyable skiing, regardless of turn length.

A piste ski designed for performance and precision

The H-POWER68 is designed exclusively for on-piste skiing, on well-groomed runs where edge grip and power transfer make all the difference. Its ideal terrain is the groomed run, where it delivers direct power transfer and remarkable fluidity. Whether you’re looking for short, dynamic turns to navigate a tight couloir or long, powerful turns to carve down a wide, flat run, this ski responds with the same precision and responsiveness. This on-piste focus makes it a dedicated tool, with no compromise for other uses.

Dimensions and radius: a waist width designed for on-piste grip

With a waist width of 68 mm, the Van Deer H-POWER68 clearly falls into the category of narrow on-piste skis, optimized for contact with hard snow and precise carving. This consistent width across all lengths ensures consistent performance regardless of the skier’s size. The tip/tail dimensions and radius of curvature vary depending on the length chosen, allowing you to adapt the turn profile to your body type and skiing style. The 168 cm version offers a radius suited for technical turns, combining responsiveness and stability at high speeds.

Construction: wood core and double Titanal for stiffness and stability

The construction of the Van Deer H-POWER68 Ski Pack + MARKERCOMP 13 bindings is based on material choices drawn directly from the world of competition. Here are the key structural elements that define its performance:

• Poplar/ash wood core: a lightweight and responsive combination that ensures liveliness and energy return with every push.
• Double layer of Titanal: a metallic reinforcement that provides stiffness, vibration damping, and stability at high speeds on hard snow.
• ABS sidewalls: Perimeter protection that enhances the ski’s durability against impacts and repeated contact.
• Race Base: a competition base prepared for optimal glide and maximum edge grip on groomed slopes.

World Cup DNA Technology and Edge Adjustability

Developed in collaboration with Marcel Hirscher, the H-POWER68 embodies a philosophy rooted in the World Cup, reflected in every detail of its design. World Cup DNA technology is particularly evident in its “ready to tune” preparation: the edges are ready to be sharpened to your preferences, offering precise control of the attack angle and optimized grip depending on trail conditions. This level of customization is designed for skiers who know their equipment and want to get the most out of it.

The Van Deer H-POWER68 Ski Pack + MARKERCOMP 13 Bindings is designed for advanced to expert skiers who primarily ski on groomed runs and want a ski that combines technical precision with a fun ride. Its robust construction, 68 mm waist width, and competition heritage make it a logical choice for those who want to improve or maintain their skill level on groomers, in all hard-pack snow conditions.
