The Revolt 121 isn’t the only powder ski that Völkl makes, but it is the most fun. Taking notes from freestyle park riding, it’s a front runner of the more “playful” side of the Völkl lineup.
You can take the play and creativity you would get from a slimmer waist and apply it to a big mountain environment, provided the snow is reasonably soft.
Volkl has a myriad of skis for a myriad of mountains. The Revolt 121 is a great powder ski. But it’s also a pretty stellar soft snow option for those who don’t mind some limitations when it comes to flying through debris fields.
It’s a ski built for natural terrain but can still hold its own on hardpack and groomers- for a powder ski. In terms of playful, poppy, floaty fun- you won’t find anything better from Volkl, or most of the competition.
Notable Features
3D Radius Sidecut: Variable sidecut is designed to make it easier to perform multiple turn shapes. Tips and tails are tailored for long turns while a shorter radius underfoot makes shorter turns at low speed easier.
Things we like:

Playful and Poppy while retaining its stability -
Damp at speed, but nimble in the air
-
Great float to take advantage of untouched powder fields
