    Is this a day late april fools? Volant needs someone to bring their lineup into the 21st century.

    Bunch of lame groomer skis is all they’re offering. Now if they bring back the spatula I’ll be interested

    Wonder what a ski with a titanium topsheet would ski like?
    (real titanium, not titanal which is an aluminum alloy that contains precisely no titanium)

    It would look pretty expensive, I'm guessing.
    I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

    The Volants I have skied on were super damp and stable. The ride was like a giant Cadillac. They absorb vibrations better than any other ski I've ever experienced.

    The problem I found was one good tomahawk or anything where you smash a tip into something firm that abruptly bends the ski and they are going to get bent and ain't coming back. The metal top sheet will do that.

    I know it's crazy, but the dampest skis I have skied were the AK made 183 soft bros...
    at least on the groomers, they were amazing.

    That and I just realized titanal was tit-anal, nice...
    Aggressive in my own mind
