The Volkl Secret 102 20/21 is a women’s freeride ski designed for riders who want a versatile tool in varied snow conditions. With a 102 mm waist, it’s built to handle everything from soft powder to firmer groomers without feeling overburdened in deeper snow.
Featuring a 140/102/123 sidecut, the Secret 102 offers a balanced combination of flotation and edge response. The wider tip and tail help the ski stay on top of softer snow, while the narrower waist keeps turn initiation precise. At just under 2 kg per ski, it sits in the all-round freeride category—heavy enough to feel stable at speed but still lively underfoot. The flat binding plate gives you the freedom to choose and mount your preferred bindings.
Radius refers to the turn shape the ski naturally wants to carve. A 15 m radius on the 163 cm length means it’s neither overly tight nor too sluggish, so you can link medium-sized turns smoothly across varied terrain. The sidecut measurements (tip/waist/tail) describe how the ski’s shape changes along its length: a wider tip and tail widen the turn pattern and help with float, while the narrower waist keeps you locked into cleaner, more efficient turns.

Volkl says about the Secret 102 20/21
The Secret 102 is the love child of powder-floating pontoons and versatile all-mountain sticks, creating a ski made for powder that rips across all terrain. All the Secrets have a heftier construction, plus the added width of the 102, this ski is made to wielded by a hard-charging, blizzard-chasing female. The Titanal Frame and Carbon Tips supply stability in variable conditions, especially in high-speed descents. The tip and tail rocker provide clearance through crud and lift through powder, without sacrificing turning ability. For the days when the snow gods are not delivering though, the Secret 102’s 3D Radius Sidecut adapts to the edge angle and speed of each turn, creating a smooth and powerful transition.
