Yea, it's a good thing the caps don't look like that, I'd get mesmerized and crash. Originally Posted by yesIsaidyes

Rasputin, you seem to be missing the one Volant ski that gets any respect on this board...why the fierce devotion to Volant? (I would ask that about anyone with that many pairs of the same brand...)

Well if I'd been feeling a bit richer a month or two ago when the Spats were up for auction on eBay, I would have a pair of them too. Fierce devotion? Not really, I do love the way they ski, super stable and damp, flexible but torsionally rigid, forgiving and smooth as silk, able to blast through all manner of crud and crust. They are great skis. I think that's why McConkey wanted them as his sponser. Doubtless there were other companies that would have been more lucritive. Originally Posted by yesIsaidyes
I bought most of them very cheap, except the 180 Chubbs and the Gravity Powers for which I paid $234 and $244 respectively. I think there are more people who don't like Volants than have actually skied them, but there are many who have skied them that swear by them. That's why around 90% of the people who have bought Volants have bought another pair.Last edited by Rasputin; 11-09-2005 at 04:36 AM.

yeah, I bought a pair and probably won't buy another...although they are distinct feeling - just not for me. I wish they were to my fancy, because they do show up pretty cheap...

What did you get? Some people say that they are so damp that they don't get the feedback from the hill they like, for me I just want to feel like I'm riding on velvet. Originally Posted by yesIsaidyes

Hey, that's a good one. I've heard that the early Volants (early '90s), before the ZMax, were refered to as "slugs on vallium". Originally Posted by Rippinsick
