It's an 07 ski, obviously not very many people have purchased it and ridden it. Alot of companies don't even release their 07's for sale until summer.

from what ive heard they are almost exactly the same except a tad lighter which would make it a badass ski, because it already is except for the weight

You can buy them in Germany......

I wrote them to find out what the difference was - they said it's the same ski with a different design, and the topcoat is smooth instead of textured.

In France the info is a little different - they say the flex in softer...

^I've heard more sidecut (more turny) and 10% stiffer and different graphics. I also heard they are sicker than this years. That was what the volkl rep told me anyways.

I stopped by the NH Ski + Snowboard Show. I talked to the Volkl rep and he told me that the Karma for 07 is unchanged other than the top sheet. Same ski, flex, and construction.

According to Sport-Conrad in Germany (see link further up this page), the sidecut is the same from this year's model to next year's. The skis aren't that different...you probably won't notice little ones. Volkl isn't just going to radically change the construction of a ski over one year.

I saw some sick guy skiing on next year's karmas this weekend at sugarbush. He was throwing switch 7's and stuff in the park. I talked to him a little, and he said they were a little different and didn't specify. I guess he is sponsored or something. I dunno.
