    Are all Volkl Kuros made in China?

    I just received a pair of 175 Volkl Kuro and was surprised to find that they are made in China whereas my old 2007 170 Mantras are made in Germany.

    Are all of Volkl Kuro skis manufactured in China or is there now a choice between German and Chinese made skis? If so, is there a difference in price?

    Is there any noticeable quality difference from the German made and Chinese made skis?

    Yes, No, No Difference, Yes but that's debatable.

    Thanks. It's not clear from the discussion whether ALL of the Kuros are made in China. I spoke to one merchant who claims he has German Kuros and there were initial problems with lamination in China though that has been resolved.
