We have sold Volkl skis at Allspeed for ten years. Over the years Volkl has continued to push the envelope with ski innovation. They were some of the first to adopt the idea of wider all mountain skis, now they are one of the first to incorporate some type of rocker in nearly every ski in their line. For the 2011/12 ski season we believe we have selected the best of what Volkl has to offer. New for us this year is a wider selection of their super lightweight touring line, be sure to come by and check these skis out in person (they are really light!).

2011/12 Volkl Shiro
Dimensions: 151-119-135
Sizes: 173, 183, 193
Rocker: Fully Rockered (no camber under foot)
Price: $699.00 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
A new favorite at Allspeed, the Shiro is a brand new ski from Volkl this year. Is it a big ski? Yes. Does it ski like a big ski? When you want it to yes (powder) and when you don’t want it to no (hardpack). The Shiro is truly the best of both worlds giving you a one quiver ski that performs equally as well in either powder or hardpack. The Shiro provides a big enough surface to float through the deepest snow, but also it has a soft even flex that works with the rocker design to provide tip to tail edge contact on hardpack. It’s definitely hard to wrap your head around the idea of a ski with a 119 waist skiing well on hardpack, but trust us, it does. We skied this at the industry demo last year in VERY firm conditions and felt that it carved and has as good edge control as something like a Volkl Mantra.

2011/12 Volkl Gotama
Dimensions: 137-106-122
Sizes: 170, 178, 186, 194
Rocker: Fully Rockered (no camber under foot)
Price: $699.00 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
The Allspeed classic favorite that started it all is back for another season. A little different, a little better, and made in Germany. The Gotama is Volkl’s original fat ski offering. It has evolved over time; getting wider, different core materials, and now incorporating rocker in the tip and tail. The 2012 Gotama is 1mm wider at the waist, has a bit more of a pronounced rocker than the previous model, and has different construction (ie made in Germany). This year’s fully rockered Gotama will not only help you in the deep snow, but with Volkl’s el-P Rocker design it will also help you maintain tip to tail edge contact on firm snow. Volkl changed the overall construction of this ski when they brought it to Germany and bonded the wood core the the fiberglass in such a way that made the ski feel much more lively than previous models. There’s a reason why we’ve been skiing the Gotama for as long as we have at Allspeed, and it’s because it is the one true do it all ski.

2011/12 Volkl Nunataq
Dimensions: 139-107-123
Sizes: 170, 178, 186
Rocker: Fully Rockered (no camber under foot)
Price: $699.00 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
New this year, the Volkl Nunataq is the widest offering to the to Volkl’s backcountry touring series. The Nunataq is the ultimate backcountry weapon geared for variable snowpacks. Think of the Nunataq as the super lightweight version of the Gotama, it actually has just about the same dimensions and rocker profile as the Gotama. We cannot stress how lightweight these ski are (and all of the other Volkl Touring Skis). Also available with this and the rest of Volkl’s touring line is a pre cut climbing skin system.

2011/12 Volkl Nanuq
Dimensions: 130-94-113
Sizes: 163, 170, 177, 184
Rocker: Tip Rocker w/ Camber Under Foot
Price: $699.00 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
Another ski from Volkl’s touring series is the Nanuq. The only changes for the 2012 Volkl Nanuq are added tip rocker and slightly wider overall profile. The Nanuq the Volkl Mantra have very similar dimensions, the Nanuq is slightly narrower and obviously much lighter than the Mantra.

2011/12 Volkl Amaruq
Dimensions: 127-88-109
Sizes: 163, 170, 177, 184
Rocker: No Rocker – Full Traditional Camber
Price: $649.00 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
The last ski from Volkl’s touring series that we carry is the Amaruq. Like the rest of the series, the Amaruq is a lightweight version of another ski in the Volkl line, in this case it’s the Kendo. The Amaruq is the most lightweight and efficient ski that we carry. If you are looking for a ski that can go up pretty darn quick and skis well in all conditions, this is your ski.

2011/12 VolklKatana
Dimensions: 141-111-131
Sizes: 177, 184, 191, 198
Rocker: Fully Rockered (no camber under foot)
Price: $899.00 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
The Katana has become another Allspeed favorite because of it’s stability and versatility. The key to the Katana is the two sheets of metal incorporated into the construction of the ski allowing it to be incredibly stable even through the roughest of conditions. Like Volkl’s other wider skis, the Katana features a fully rockered design with no camber under foot. The obvious benefit of this design is in deeper snow, but what you wouldn’t expect is how well the full rocker helps the skis perform on hardpack. This ski has no speed limit.

2011/12 Volkl Mantra
Dimensions: 132-98-118
Sizes: 177, 184, 191, 198
Rocker: Tip Rocker w/ Camber Under Foot
Price: $699.00 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
Another classic from the Volkl lineup, the Mantra is a mid width ski geared towards all mountain performance. Like the Katana, the Mantra also has two sheets of metal incorporated in the construction to provide stability in even the nastiest what mother nature (or the snowguns) have to offer. This ski is a favorite among people that are making the transition from a narrow waisted groomer ski to something a bit more all mountain oriented.

2011/12 Volkl RTM84
Dimensions: 129-84-111
Sizes: 166, 171, 176, 181
Rocker: Fully Rockered (no camber under foot)
Price: $999.0 (Includes Bindings) BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
The 2012 Volkl RTM84 is the ultimate resort weapon giving you everything you need to rip turns on groomers and harvest the powder when you get that opportunity. What is unique about the RTM84 is it’s Volkl’s first fully rockered offering that is geared towards skiing groomed terrain. What Volkl and many other ski companies are quickly figuring out is that rockered ski’s are not just for skiing powder. Volkl’s el-P rocker design helps on hard pack by allowing the ski to initiate the turn quicker when it is rolled up on to edge. With the combination of the flex pattern and rocker design of the RTM84, you will have no problem ripping turns on any surface.

2011/12 Volkl RTM77
Dimensions: 122-77-107
Sizes: 166, 171, 176, 181
Rocker: Fully Rockered (no camber under foot)
Price: $799.00 (Includes Bindings) BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
The RTM77 is much like it’s wider cousin RTM84, just slightly narrower. The RTM77′s rocker is a little less pronounced than the RTM84 but still gives the versatility needed to ski any conditions at your local mountain.

2011/12 Volkl RTM75
Dimensions: 120-75-105
Sizes: 166, 171, 176, 181
Rocker: Tip Rocker w/ Camber Under Foot
Price: $599.00 (Includes Bindings) BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
The RTM75 is the smallest waist resort oriented ski we have to offer. The RTM75 is similar in shape to the 84 and 77, but incorporates a tip rockered design rather than a fully rockered design. This woodcore ski priced attractively and is everything you need to shred your local resort.

2011/12 Volkl Kiku
Dimensions: 137-106-122
Sizes: 154, 162, 170, 178
Rocker: Fully Rockered (no camber under foot)
Price: $699.00 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
The 2012 Volkl Kiku is by far our most popular women’s ski. The Kiku is one of the fat waisted skis out there that are made specifically for women. The Kiku’s dimensions are very similar to those of the Gotama, however the flex is much softer, giving the ski a much more playful feel while making it easier to ski. The Kiku’s fully rockered profile not only helps in deep snow but also aides in turn initiation and edge contact on hardpack conditions.

2011/12 Volkl Aura
Dimensions: 131-96-113
Sizes: 156, 163, 170
Rocker: Tip Rocker w/ Camber Under Foot
Price: $699.00 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
Sharing dimensions and the same rocker profile, the 2012 Aura is the Mantra’s little sister; powerful but with a softer touch. The Aura is a powerful all mountain ski that is wide enough to also ski well in deep snow. The rockered tip not only helps the Aura float in powder, but also helps with turn initiation on all types of snowpacks.

2011/12 Volkl Kenja
Dimensions: 129-86-105
Sizes: 149, 156, 163, 170
Rocker: No Rocker – Full Traditional Camber
Price: $649 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
The 2012 Volkl Kenja is the Kendo’s little sister, very similar in profile, just a little bit softer and easier to ski. With metal and woodcore construction, the Kenja is a little bit more than just your average resort groomer ski. The Kenja is a quick ski with most sizes coming in at a sub 19 meter turn. If you’re looking for a bit more of a powerful all mountain ski, then this is the ski for you.

2011/12 Volkl Estrella
Dimensions: 124-73-94
Sizes: 144, 151, 158, 165
Rocker: No Rocker – Full Traditional Camber
Price: $699 BUY NOW @ Allspeed.com
The 2012 Volkl Estrella is on par with Volkl’s RTM series, but built with women in mind. The Estrella is a great all mountain groomer oriented ski that you don’t have to be an expert to ski. The Estrella’s flex pattern and profile work together to make it an easy turning ski that will hold an edge in even the most firm conditions. The Estrella is a wood core ski and comes complete with integrated bindings.
