Word. And VIST bindings is making the 4FRNT binding (which is really just a high-end binding with 4FRNT logos on them).

i heard. and i like it. alot they can be a force to be reckoned with. but still it gets volkl's freeride skis off the market. i mean they ski well and junk but they dont do anything for me. they look like poser white supremacist skis already and freestlye isnt they're style. but goodie maybe k2 will just use their factories and get rid of them
go big or go home...then come back and kick the ass of whoever said that

i'm already starting to hear 'maybe k2 will make volkl better', this WILL NOT affect the design of volkl skis, they will still make their own dope skis, but i belive they won;t be made in Germany anymore(i belive this is what the major change was)

and don;t be dissin on volkl, their freeride line is so hot next year, just wait

No worries all. Volkl isn't moving nor changing at our hands. Their German engineering and production facilities are top notch and will continue to do as they have, which is build some good shit. Don't start nasty rumors that Volkl will die. We are not like Atomic and Volant:)

i dont think that atomic is dead. Its not owned by some other brand if i remember correctly. And they sell the second most skis in the world.
