One of the greatest innovations in skiing since the invention of carving and a fundamental buling block for the future of skiing. In early 2007 Volkl presents another quantum leap in the evolution of the ski: Power Switch Technology, a mechanism that allows you to completely transform your skis' characteristics, with a simple manual switch enabling the adjustment to current snow conditions or to your fitness level. Though they recently built a state-of-the-art production facility in Straubing, the original factory is still in use as the Volkl World Logistics Center. In the 1960s, Seaos started distributing Volkl in North America under the Othmar Schneider and Sears brands. Since 1923, Volkl has manufactured skis in Straubing, Germany, a Bavarian town about an hour's drive north of Munich. Handled everything I could throw at them. They are 'Volkl Supersport 6-star' like on hardpack and pretty damn good in powder. Minnesota hardpack to over a foot powder in CO.

Not the best, Im sure, but I skied everything except off-piste. The American branch is located in West Lebanon, New Hampshire along with its wholly owned binding manufacturer, Marker. I got a screaming deal on my Volkl 90Eights. Initially it manufactured skis, but has extended its line to snowboards, outerwear, and tennis gear.

It is a subsidiary of the Jarden Corporation. Volkl is a sports equipment manufacturer based in Germany.
