As the most versatile performer in the women’s Flair series, it comes as no surprise that the Volkl Flair 79 Skis are back by popular demand and, aside from a subtle graphic refresh, will return unchanged for the new season. Its simple construction, moderate waist, and short turn radius allow the Flair 79 to perform much like a carving ski in a frame that unabashedly demonstrates a sense of all-conditions expertise. Its slightly upturned tip and 79mm waist allude to such versatility by giving the Flair 79 the progressive boost it needs to handle firm snow and chopped snow with equal aplomb. The addition of Volkl’s 3D.Ridge technique keeps the Flair 79’s overall weight in check to create an exceptional balance between lightness and stability that—when combined with a strategically distributed steel layer—translates to unrivaled smoothness at higher speeds. As a result, the Volkl Flair 79 Skis appeal to the most balanced female skier who, like her skis, prefers sporty applications in a versatile setting.
