Volkl Wall Alpine Ski    This product is no longer available
 
Not exactly "bombproof"   01-20-08   

They're nice and light, very easy to chuck around and I love the extra stiffness over other park skis but all the ranting about bombproof construction and the "ArmedEdge" technology is a bit much. After 4 days of park riding I have 3 or 4 cracks in the edges on both skis, one of the cracks has sprung a bit too. Yes, this will happen with ANY ski with enough box and rail riding but these really didn't take it that well. I bought Rossignol Scratch FSs about 3 years ago and skied them in park up until I bought these, the edges on the Scratches are only marginally worse than the Volkl's are after less than a week. I haven't done any big gaps to rails/boxes or spins onto rails/boxes either and I still prefer to hit jumps than jib. I really like everything about them other than the talk up of their durability.
