Stoked to find a dedicated park and pipe weapon? The Volkl Wall Alpine Ski features a true twin shape for switch riding and anchored edges for bomber durability. Approach the lip switch—this Volkl ski rides exactly the same backward as it does forward. The Wall Alpine Ski's multi-layer wood core provides bomber durability in the binding area, explosive pop, and low swing weight for big spins. Stomp the landing and ride away clean—the Volkl Wall's vertical sidewalls and torsion box construction provide serious stability. Volkl anchored this park and pipe destroyer's edges with Volkl logo insets so you don't have to worry about ripping the edge off on a rail ride.
Bottom Line: Wall rides, kickers, rails, and pipes.
Take in mind that they are designed as a park and all-mountain ski. They might barely function in powder, but won't be anywhere near as responsive or floaty as a ski designed with powder in mind. Check out the K2 Kung Fuja. They are a softer ski, but designed to be a one ski quiver. They will hold up in all mountain and park, very well, but are also pretty gnar in the soft stuff.
About as good as any all-mountain or park ski. The flex is a little better than most, at least for how I ski, but it definitely isn't the best pow ski ever. For a park ski though, it has enough float to make it a very versatile ski.
The Look PX 12 is a pretty sick binding, same with the Rossi equivalent in the 120 or 140, and of course the Jesters or Griffons from Marker are awesome.
This is a great all mountain ski! It can destroy groomers, moguls, and the park. I have mine boot centered for better all mountain skiing, and it seems to work great. Not recomended for crud or any serious pow, as the 87 waist is pretty skinny, and it's not a stiff enough ski to blast through crud. I have the 07/08 green ones in a 161. One problem with this ski is that on the inside edges, the two skis hitting each other will cause the topsheet to peel and chip away. Just put the same ski on the same foot every time, that way only one side of the topsheet will chip. Overall, this ski is amazing for ripping the frontside!
i was wonderin about gettin these or the the stl's for next season. i spend like all my time in the park, unless i want a break or sumthin, i live on the east coast so theres like no pow, i'd say advanced skier, 5"4' and 120 lbs. wut should i go for?
I would go for the Volkl Wall over the STL. If you do want a 4frnt ski, the TNK is more comparable to the Volkl Wall. The STL is heavier and stiffer than the Wall, and is generally thought of as more of an all mountain ski. The TNK is also stiffer than the wall, but skis great in the park. The Volkl Wall is great for anyone spending 90% or more of their time in the park, as it has a medium flex, fully symmetrical shape and flex, and low swing weight.
they can, but not as well as some other park skis...get the line anthems or invaders for buttering...or if you are feelin adventurous try the armada alpha 1's
i do a lot of groomers (60%) and i hit up the park (40%). im an advanced skier and barley hit any powder because i live on the east coast. should i go these or suspects?
The bridge. That's what it's made for. I would stay away from the suspect. Althought Salomon makes great skis there have been rumors that the suspect was a bit "suspect" if you get the drift. The wall wouldn't be a bad choice either but is geared more towrds park. The great thing about volkls is the quality construction and durability.
They can pretty much destroy the groomers, and at least for me when I demoed them, can clam the bumps. Fairly soft flex, so it grabs the groomed runs good.
I would only center mount these skis because they are a symmetrical twin. Go for the 177cm center mounted. With a center mount the skis don't feel very long until you get into some bumps and your tails start catching a little. I would mount these with the Marker Jester or Griffon bindings because they perform awesome with this ski; perfectly balancing the swing weight. I'm 6'3" 175 lbs and have a pair of the 185cm from last year mounted with Jesters and I love them.
The wall is total park ski and the karma was a stiff all mountain ski that was replaced by the bridge that is wider to be more usefull. The wall is a great ski in the park but not so great out of the park. If you decide to get walls make sure you get 09,s because they had problems with binding,s pulling out last year,so they changed the core for this year.
