I have heard and seen that these skis are great, but have also seen a lot of reviews saying that the quality is subpar including a very fragile base, delaminating topsheets, cracked sidewalls. How much truth is there to this? Also, how do these perform out east in trees. I am a big skier and thinking the 190's, but dont want something that i cant get around.

I just answered this yesterday, but maybe some volkl lover got rid of it, Yes volkl has had some major quility issues in the last 2 years on the katana,goat,wall and some other models. delaminating cores,snapping on minor drops, binding pullouts, they tried to go with a lighter core and it has not worked to well, there are to many other good skis out there then to chance buying these.
