The Van Deer H-Power Sand is a race-oriented ski designed for skiers who favor short, dynamic turns on groomed terrain. It’s positioned in the short turn category, offering a responsive feel that’s geared toward precision and control during quicker line changes.
With a 13 m radius at 168 cm, the H-Power Sand encourages agile carving, making it easier to initiate and maintain tight arcs. Its 115.5/68/97 sidecut delivers a balance between grip and release, so you can accelerate through turns without feeling locked in. The ski comes mounted with SPX 12 Rockerace GW bindings in grey, providing a solid connection to a variety of GripWalk-compatible boots and ensuring reliable power transfer from boot to edge.
Radius refers to the theoretical circle a ski would carve if you held a constant edge angle—here, 13 m means sharper, quicker turns. The sidecut dimensions (tip/waist/tail) describe how the ski’s width changes along its length; wider tips and tails with a narrower waist help it bite into the snow when carving while allowing smooth turn exits. The SPX 12 binding offers a release value up to DIN 12, suitable for advanced skiers seeking both performance and safety.
