Has anyone else seen volkl's skis for the coming season? graphics are dope as shit and the Kuro is fucking huge, 164 @ the tip. Anyone know if they have improved the powder channel on the Katana so it doesn't break as easily?
Symmetrical, rockered, and super fun to butter around on. I have heard good things about the chopsticks. I forget but someone on here skied on them for a while, he seemed to like them alot.
Volkl are excellent at producing skis that do everything. Bridges are such a sick ski, perfect width to go all over the mountain and still have loads of fun in the Park and Pipe. Stiff as a board mind you.
^I'm not really looking for something super buttery, I'm just trying to get an idea of how stiff they are. I'm pretty interested in the walls, but there are a few other new for 09 models I want to find out some more on.
Basically, I want a really solid park ski that will be decent outside of the park too. I have Fujitives right now, and they're too soft outside of the park.
The walls would probably be the better choice although if you want to do powder skiing I would go for the bridge. They are basically the best "go anywhere" ski and replace the Karma
They are actually stiffer and a touch wider than the Karma at 92mm underfoot (karma 87) and the Karma is a very stiff ski.
I actually tried them and decided to stay with my Karmas. Paddy Graham used Karmas last year for park and pipe because they are really robust and actually good for anything.
