Replying to Volkl Karmas (177)
The first pair of skis I ever personally owned!
An amazing ski, will go anywhere, really fast and ploughs through crud holds an edge on ice and is a lot of fun too. Groomers, Crud, Powder, Park. What ever you throw at this ski, it can handle it.
They are really fast and have plenty of pop. Quite heavy but lighter than something like the public enemies.
Negatives? It is a go everywhere ski and as a result it has a bit of compromise everywhere too. a bit narrow underfoot to be a true powder ski and very stiff which means it isn't very forgiving.
I have mine mounted at + 3. Again a bit of a compromise so I can take them into the park. Off piste they don't work so well when mounted at plus 3, require quite a bit of effort to stop the tips from diving, but still good fun.
All round a great ski, especially if you are looking for a one ski quiver.
It's a shame volkl don't make them anymore but if you can get hold of a pair I would thoroughly recommend them!
