Völkl’s Pro Team surrounding Alex Ferreira, Kevin Rolland and others is releasing the third generation Revolt in two different waist widths. The Revolt 84 is three millimetres narrower, making it even more precise to steer, all the more so on account of its new structure with modified sidecut. Inside the Revolt is a Light Swingweight wood core, which noticeably improves rotation. In this design, weight is reduced at the ski ends and concentrated in the middle, making the ski much easier to turn in the air, with much more control. A full camber makes the Revolt 84 the ideal ski for halfpipes.
Continuous tension ensures optimum support over the entire length – an unbeatable advantage on pipe walls, some of which can be ultra-hard. The new, totally unique design of this year’s edition of Built Together is by Chinese artist King Rhomberg. His designs feature on the entire Freestyle collection.

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:
STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:
1 - Never skied before
2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer
Here at The Skiers Lounge we then brake this down into 4 groups:

- INTERMEDIATE (Level 4-6)
- ADVANCED (Level 6-8)
- EXPERT (Level 8-9)

STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVELThe final calculation- For
NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For
INTERMEDIATE and
ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for
EXPERT and
