Volant
Buzz's Skis:
There are two Volant models that are hot, the Power Carve and the Super Carve, which are both sidecut skis. The Power Carve is more of an all-around soft snow type ski. The Super Carve comes in several models, soft, more rigid and ice (very hard). The Super Carve is more narrow in the waist — a little more of a cruising type ski. The stainless steel on the Volant lends itself very well to being sidecut; it is tortionally rigid. The Power Carve was our best seller last year.

Christy Sports:
The new Super Carves are great. The "I" is what magazines are calling a breakthrough carve ski, but I think the Volant "I" is better than that. The "I" is for the more aggressive skier. The "S" is for the good intermediate or better — a good skier, but one that isn't that aggressive. The "L" is for a lighter skier.
