Volkl Ledge Alpine Ski

Volkl decided the Ledge Alpine Ski should let you ride switch, pull whatever tricks you want in the park, and hang with your all-mountain buddies once in a while, so it made some big changes for the ’09 season. Volkl gave the Ledge Ski a symmetrical shape and a soft butter zone. What the ballz is a soft butter zone? The b-zone places snappy poplar wood in the forebody of the ski for sweet jibbing and a dense wood around the binding for screw retention and durability. Printed vertical sidewalls look sweet, and a full armed edge (the edges are anchored to the Volkl logos in the middle of the ski) provides bomber durability for hitting rails.

Bottom Line: Push your game forward and switch.

I am an advanced- Low expert skiier who skiis about 75% Of piste/ 15% Park 'n' Pipe. I am from NZ so dont get Pow days often but when We do i skii Pow All day. I also love flying down the groomers to get the legs warmed up early in the morning.

I know that this is rated a Iternmediate ski... But would this work for an Advanced skiier?

At 84 under foot this will serve well as an all-mountain ski; offering just enough float for those NZ pow days. This has been dubbed an Intermediate ski due to its slightly softer flex and torsion box construction. This won't have the power that you will find in a top of the line Expert rig, but will still hold an edge well/ transition between turns with ease.

Just to check your math, 75 off piste & 15 gettin' you jib on leaves 10% for throwing back beers on the Tram deck...Steezy top-sheet will keep you looking like a PRO throughout.

An odd question...I have skied twice - period. To say that I already have an unhealthy obsession with skiing already is an understatement. I am looking to buy my first pair of skis, but am looking for something that I won't outgrow skillwise for an extended period of time. If I am interested in skiing switch as soon as possible, would this ski be a reasonable purchase or do I not bother with twintips? (I realize that the Volkl website classifies this as an intermediate ski, but I've already been put on higher difficulty blue runs - a.k.a. black runs in Minnesota - without crashing).

Well dude, if your looking to ski switch and park, i would get twin-tips, twin tips are actually cheaper than alot of regular carve skis too, i had the mistake of starting with carve skis when i wanted to ride park, you can still ride switch, but not much else. Also get a pair of twin-tips that can rip the whole mountain.

These are some nice skis. I just got them mounted with Rossignol SAS2 120 bindings, which works nicely. They can hold an edge pretty well, except on slow speeds which is understandable for all twin-tips. Overall, very nice ski, except they come with some adhesive stuff on the bottom, so I would recommend waxing before skiing on them for the first time.

Would this ski be good for a lighter guy (90-100 lbs.)?

Sure. It is a fairly soft ski and in a smaller size it should work well for somebody that weight.
