How do you feel about Volkl?

A lot of the skiers in my area rip on Volkl a lot but I have been on Volkl skis most of the seasons of my life. Just curious what you all think of Volkl.
 
They don't break, and how can you complain about a ski like that? If you don't like the shape, then you didn't do the proper research and you deserve to hate life
 
I had Volkl Kendo's before I started skiing park. My binding ripped out twice. I don't know if it was a crappy mount job or the core was weak.

They are too short now so they feel unstable as fuck.
 
I had a pair of Volkl Ledges they were a fun ski but the edge wasn't very attracted to the sidewall the whole edge underfoot was detaching from the sidewall and I count 20 edge cracks on each ski, it may have been because the skis were only $270, but they were still a fun buttery, light ski. I have now switched to J skis and I love those a ton.

The skis were ledges

the skis were ledges

and finally the skis were ledges
 
I've always viewed Volkl freeride skis as the Mercedes of skis, they're strong, pricey, a little heavier because of the quality, but make good use of their weight

Sounds like a crap mount because I have never had problems with Kendos in the past.

That's like shitting on line because of he Masterminds. Volkl skis are sick. I have steps and I love them
 
I rock em raced on them growing up.

I have 2 pairs of Shiros the 193s with a lot of rocker and a nice long 203 with less. Need that stable ride at speed.

My favorite thing is when people make an argument but they don't support it at all. But I have ledges and I love them.

Don't get me wrong I did too, they just ended up falling apart
 
volkl makes great skis I like the ledges a lot but i haven't used since because they can be pretty pricy

I swear 97% of people buy the Orange volkl wall because almost all the pros use it and it looks cool. Not because it's a great ski

It's the truth.But the volkl wall is a great ski and I would enjoy using it but im sure that many people with logic don't care how it looks.

Well I was wasn't judging the whole company, I was merely saying my experience with Volkl but whatever floats your boat
 
I have been skiing volkl walls for several years, and when I blew out a sidewall, I was happy to buy a new pair, considering that I wasnt careful with them at all, used them on a dry slope airbag for an entire summer, and hit urban with them on several occasions. They for me through 3 seasons. (I was able to epoxy the sidewall back in and get the skis to last the rest of the season). Most stable ski on big jumps and rails I have owned.
 
To be honest I'm not a big fan of the full gradual rocker they're implementing on a lot of their skis. Not necessarily the park ones, but on a ski like the mantra, I feel like it retracts from its purpose of being a hard charging all mountain carver
 
The one's and the two's are super fun, I'd love to get a pair of two's but I already have chetlers and don't need two pairs of somewhat similar skis. I agree that the full rocker on the mantra/gotama is kind of odd, but on their free ride/pow skis it makes them super fun and playful.
