Fun, energetic and smooth as anything, the Volkl Flair 76 Elite 2018 is a great ski for the less aggressive skier who wants a ski to support them across the mountain this winter.
The Volkl Flair offers enough stability to be a great support, while still packing enough power and energy to really have fun at speed. Its versatility allows the skier to really enjoy all areas of the mountain, but the good support underfoot and easy turn initiation means that you never feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable.
Its Dual Woodcore means it is powerful enough to cut through tougher snow, while it remains lightweight enough to be easily manoeuvrable across powder.
It is a great choice for someone who is still refining their skiing skills, wanting to try their hand at various terrains but still ski to the best of their abilities on piste.
The Volkl Flair 76 Elite has brilliant edge hold and smooth turn initiation that makes life on piste a lot of fun. No matter the conditions, this ski remains stable, and depending on how much power you put through the ski, you can get a lot out!
While it may not be their first choice based on ability, even the more expert aggressive skiers find this a very fun ski. Skiers of any level will enjoy the energy and stability the Volkl Flair provides, but intermediate skiers looking to explore would be those best placed to really to appreciate this ski to the full.
This is a ski that is great for an intermediate skier looking for a ski that will grow with them. It will support you in your endeavours on piste or off, and will always be willing to go further should you so wish!
