Volkl Ski Rentals

German Engineered Skis

Volkl Ski Rentals

Völkl designs and manufactures some of the world’s most high-tech skis in the place where we expect quality engineering and passion for sport, Bavaria, Germany. Völkl considers everything about the the skiing experience when it comes to making their skis, from the way the ski reacts to the terrain and snow to the influence the skier has on the skis performance. Resulting in skis that work in a variety of conditions and for skiers at a variety of skill levels and skiing styles.

With amazing processes like their proprietary UVO 3D technology that is the first freely rotating vibration dampener with cutting edge results, reduced vibration in the vertical and horizontal directions as well as the length of the ski.

The 3D radius side cut usage of long radii at tip and tail for big turns and high speed and shorter radius in the center for short turns and lower speed makes skis that are easier to maneuver and effortless to control.

Or their 3D.GLASS, a development that improves the overall ski performance and provides stability in variable snow conditions. In comparison to traditional glass constructions the three-dimensional glass layers in the tip and tail area result in an improved edge grip and a more snap in your in turns.

A Skiing Legend

M5 Mantra

The Mantra is not a new name in the ski world. This model has been around for some time and with good reason. It started as a stiff, agressive all mountian ski for those retired ski racers looking for a ski that could go anywhere at top speed. The problem was that it didn’t like slower speeds at all. They then released it in a full rocker model that appealed more to the masses but lost its high stability feel for the ones that first fell in love with it. The newest model has taken the best of these two models. Volkl took the last model that was full rocker and tossed back in camber under foot. They also kept Titinal in the mix but thinned it out to give it a medium/stiff flex. This change with the full sidewall construction really gives the ski great edge grip on hard pack but is easier to ski in the soft stuff and variable conditions thanks to the tip and tail rocker. It is now truely a do it all “Swish Army Knife” of skis. Go sking with the whole family on some greens and blues then take a hard left on that double black and meet back up at the lift.

High Speed Carving Machine

Deacon 84

The Deacon 84 is a brand new model from Volkl. This ski is a 84 waist width and has the new 3D sidecut. What 3D sidecut means is they put three different radii in the side of the ski. What this really does is gives more control to the skier to decide what kind of turns you want to make. You can do fast extended turns or quick slalom type turns. At 84mm under foot it will be fairly quick edge to edge.The ski has a wood core with titinal laid over the top making it a medium/stiff ski. For Advanced/Intermediate and up skiers will be sure to love this groomer oriented all mountain ski.
