Hi all. Long time lurker and Volkl guy here looking for input on Deacon 80 182s. Now that the demise of deacon line is near, I am looking for deals on a groomer / carver / bump ski.

Hi!
I have a pair of 165cm Volkl SC Carbon from 2023 that I am enjoying in Ontario for freeskiing and coaching. Moved off race skis after a hip replacement.
The 2023 is a great ski - very accessible, responsive, but I am feeling the delay in the 70mm underfoot. I'd like something a bit racer...
Hi all.
I am 173 cm, ~82kg (5'8", ~180lbs) intermediate-advanced skier in my early 50-ies. I most often ski on a groomed terrain, which usually becomes chopped-up / slushy with moguls (especially steeper red slopes) in the afternoon. I have no difficulty skiing on blue and red slopes (European...
Hello, folks. I have rotated through a bunch of skis in the last ten years, searching for a great western US quiver. (5'10", 170 lbs, 25 years of skiing -- I ski everything on the mountain but I'm not an ex-racer, I could really care less about big GS-turns at 60 miles an hour. I like bumps...

I used to ski Volkl Six Star Supersports 168s and Loooooooooved them. I ski all mountain, mostly screaming blues/blacks on rails, but...

Does anyone have any promotional material from Volkl on the new Deacon 80 & 84? I had a brief demo on the 80 in 177 and they're spot on. Trying to get a demo on the 84 but my schedule hasn't lined up with that of the guys at the local shop.
Mainly wondering what the difference is between the...

I've lost track of which ski companies are in which company "families". I've searched, but not coming up with an accurate updated picture of how things currently are with the parent companies and their brands. Anyone have a reference source with the answers?

I am considering these Volkl skis for my daughter. Does anyone knkw whether is these are identical skis, but American vs European? I am considering 2017 Volkl Flair 75 vs 2017 Volkl Milena for an almost 15 year old, 5’2”, 98 lbs. she probably would grow another inch max. Cautious skier, does...

A friend of mine is looking for a front side focused all mountain carver. He's leaning toward the RTM86, but he's been eyeing my Z90s as well. I think the price tag might be holding him back on the Renouns. Anybody skied both and could provide a comparison?
