The Volkl Flair Mt ski is designed for female skiers seeking the joy of traditional piste skiing with a touch of ambition. A full sidewall and a wood core produce a settled, stable connection with the snow along the whole length of the ski. A thin layer of steel steadies the ski and gives it control, especially at high speeds on hard snow. Tip and tail rockers help you initiate turns and make descending easier, as they allow the ski easier to drift and turn under harder conditions. The vMotion3 binding system is GripWalk-compatible and offers comfort without sacrificing performance.
This model is aimed at those who wish to progress and explore all aspects of the resort, thanks to its advanced technical features. Go on: reward yourself with the Flair MT! Just because you aren’t a pro, it doesn’t mean you should forego the best technology.

Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:
