Connelly C1 Slalom Ski with Tempest Boot & RTP (2025)

Years of steadfast effort have culminated in the launch of the new C1. Its optimized design, with a wide tip and tunnel, revised sidewall elevation in the tip and tail, and updated rocker and flex patterns, will take your skiing to new heights. With its revolutionary V-Tech and Versatail technologies, which have been honed through rigorous athlete testing and feedback, the C1 ensures that Connelly's 58-year legacy of progress remains untarnished. Assembled with scrupulous care and attention at the Connelly Factory in the Pacific Northwest.

VERSATAIL
While considerable masterminding is put into the overall construction of a high-end slalom ski — the sidecut, rocker, bevels, etc — many people don’t realize how large a part the last few inches of the tail play. A change in tail geometry can mean the difference in a ski performing in perfect rhythm with your personal style. Connelly's patent pending VersaTail technology offers the ability to fine tune the flow of water off the tail of the ski, taking a step beyond the standard fin and binding position adjustments. Skiers can choose from one of three tails, which are all included with the DV8.

STOCK VT - Designed to offer a balanced tail depth through the turn and across the wake.

SQUARE VS - A square tail shape that adds lift, support and provides a clean release off the wake.

ROUND VR - The round tail lets the ski sit deeper in the waterinto the turn, addingcontrol at higher speedsfor quicker turns and reduced taill blowout.

ROUND TO SQUARE VRS - Allows the ski to ride deeper in the water on left turns and
provides more tip pressure on the right hand turns. This may benefit the skier on their
onside and/or offside turns depending on their strength and style.

SQUARE TO ROUND VSR - Allows the ski to ride deeper in the water on right turns
and provides more tip pressure on the left hand turns. This may benefit the
skier on their onside and/or offside turns depending on their strength and style.

Available Sizes: 63, 65", 66", 67", 68"
