Volkl Chopstick Alpine Ski - 2010 BCS

Item # VKL0077

The Volkl Chopstick Alpine Ski has twin-tip ELP Rocker to let you float, charge and smear your way through two feet of fresh, then head out to hit big backcountry booters after the lifts close. Thanks to the Chopstick’s twin-tip symmetrical design, you’ll find yourself popping and spinning off natural features you never knew existed, while the multi-layer Sensorwood core and stabilizing Power/Tough Box construction bring the meat to back up your biggest lines. Extended Low Profile Rocker ensures the tips and tails stay on top of the deepest of deep fluff, while the Chopstick’s girthy dimensions and minimal sidecut help you stomp big drops and switch landings with confidence. Because the ELP Rocker starts closer to the ski center and has a more gradual rise, the Chopstick lays down its entire edge on groomed snow, meaning you can shred these symmetrical skis through the park between storms.

Bottom Line:

Pretty nimble for a fat guy.

skied these the last two years. Not bad, not great. The rocker is minimal, sure that makes them better on groomers, but if you are buying these, why do you care about groomers?

For fat ski, they dont float that well, not in comparison to the new hellbent or a number of other more rockered skis out there. This is especially annoying if you, like me, bought them because they are symmetrical. I ski and land switch a lot in the pow, these center mounted just dont have enough float because of that minimal rise.

They were decent when they came out, outdated now.
