Volk Supersport 5 star

kaunosarioAfter over 10 years of not being able to ski, I'm hitting the slopes again this year. I still have a pair of Volk Supersport 5 star. I'm an intermediate and wonder how much technology has progressed. What should I expect from switching to a new pair of skis?

I took a long hiatus from skiing as well. Got back to it a couple years ago skiing a pair of decade old craigslist special Salomon x-wing storm or some shit. A mid range intermediate front side ski.

This year I've been on a new pair of Armada ARV 96 and the difference is night and day. They feel really light and poppy. I've skied mostly pretty marginal conditions this year but did have a chance to get them into some fresh 8-10'' and they handled that very well, they're rockered and they're 15mm wider than any ski I've used at 96 underfoot. They charge pretty hard on icy groomers.

I think you'll be pleased with where skis have come. Just reading a review of your current sticks: https://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/volkl-supersport-5-star-marker-motion-demo-bindings-2005

They call them a mid-fat waisted ski and they're 68 underfoot??? What's mid-fat for an all-mountain ski now? 110?

Well you are on newschoolers so we gonna point you towards a twin tip.


68mm waist? Lordie.

My dad used to ride those back in the day. After demoing for a few seasons he got some volkl 100eights and absolutely loves them. The 108s or the 98s would definitely be worth a look if you ski out west.
