A Selection of Völkl 2011/2012 Skis

By , About.com Guide

Völkl is rightly proud of their investment of expertise, research and development that went into the 2011-2012 Völkl collection. Here's a few words from Völkl team about the 2011-2012 lineup:

"Völkl began production in 1923 in the Bavarian town of Straubing, Germany. The brand has always stood for creating the highest performance skis, and we enjoy a great reputation and heritage of producing high quality, innovative products. We¹ve continued to grow as a full line supplier, one of the very few brands with a solid penetration in the All-mountain, Women¹s, Freeskiing, Racing, and Junior segments. We introduced 15 NEW models for this season - a huge investment in R & D that is sure to generate a great deal of interest in the market."

Following is some information on a selection of skis from the Völkl 2011-2012 collection. Read more about these and all the Volkl skis.
