The Peregrine V-Werks, the renamed Deacon V-Werks, returns completely unchanged for the 2026 season. This race bred ski combines the precision and energy of a high-end carving ski with the versatility of an all-mountain ski, creating a capable frontside carver that can tackle groomers, bumps, chop, and crud with confidence. Why we like it: The 2026 Peregrine V-Werks remains one of the most intuitive yet precise and energetic frontside carving skis out there, with the added benefit of some all-mountain capability thrown in. Who it's for: Advanced and expert skiers seeking a precise and energetic frontside carver that has a bit of all-mountain flair will love the Peregrine V-Werks. Highlights: Volkl brings all their best tech to the table with the 2026 Peregrine V-Werks. A lightweight wood core combined with Volkl's signature Tailored Carbon Tips gives this ski a precise feel through the turn, with direct initiation. 3D Glass technology positions layers of fiberglass in a three-dimensional format for enhanced stiffness and pop, allowing the V-Werks to remain incredibly stable at speed. Minimal tip and tail rocker is present, more for ease of turn initiation and release than for soft snow performance, allowing skiers to enter and exit the turn with confidence. Things to consider: The 2026 Volkl Peregrine V-Werks is touted as an all-mountain ski, but it sits solidly on the frontside end of that category. As such, skiers looking for maximum all-mountain capability will find there are better options for soft snow and trees.
