DESCRIPTION

The Volkl Revolt 101 takes the directional big-mountain personality of the Revolt 114 and packs it into a narrower, more everyday footprint. This is not a freestyle twin; it's a charge-forward freeride ski built for steeps, technical terrain, and variable snow, with a tapered, rockered shape and a poplar and beech wood core that loves to be driven hard.

Why we like it:

It's a genuinely special ski for how hard it carves and charges at this width, a directional weapon that surfs when you ask it to but really wants to rip high-speed lines through any snow. The poplar and beech core, with beech toward the edges, gives it serious grip and stability for a ski in the hundred-millimeter range.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert skiers who want a directional, do-it-all freeride ski for steeps, chop, and technical terrain at speed. Best for aggressive skiers who drive the ski forward rather than ride switch or chase park features.

Highlights:

Built off the Revolt 114 platform but narrower, the 101 is the other directional outlier in the line, a multilayer poplar and beech wood core with more beech worked toward the edges for grip and carving power and lighter poplar through the center. Pressed in a sandwich build with full sidewalls, it's far chargier than its twin-tip siblings. The 3D Radius sidecut pairs a long tip radius for stability with a tighter underfoot radius and an open tail, while a tapered, rockered shape keeps the tips afloat in soft snow and composed in chop. Camber underfoot makes this the Revolt that most wants to lay down high-speed carves through, over, and around any type of snow.

Things to consider:

The Revolt 101 is a directional charger, not a creative twin. It doesn't offer the switch-friendly playfulness of the twin-tip Revolts, and it takes more effort to slash sideways and bring back around. Skiers after a forgiving, playful park-and-mountain ride should look elsewhere in the line.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Sizes true to length. Pick your usual size, or size up for more stability and float when you're charging bigger terrain.

Upper gondolier with a mix of blue ice to packed powder down to Perry Merrill, which is frozen granular and carve-able.

This length felt good for the east coast. If I was going to live out west and got this ski, I'd go for the longer version. It is "true to size".

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I was impressed with this ski. I skied the Volkl Blaze 94 last year and was underwhelmed. Volkl skis are typically very clinical. They do exactly what you need, when you need, with no surprises. This ski did a few things very "un"volkl-like for me. Not only did it hold an edge extremely well in some very questionable and choppy conditions, but it had some character and a little bit of playfulness in there. I could feel it wanted to give back some of the energy I was putting into it into the next corner. But the fact that it held an edge so well in the rough chop really was what stood out for me.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

This ski could be a "one-ski quiver". It held its edge so well in the icy chop, that I'd be willing to bet, if you're willing to go fast enough, this ski would be a lot of fun on a groomer day, but it also has enough early rise that I wouldn't think twice about taking it out on a deep powder day too and hiking the chin. It really felt like it could do it all and have a bit of flare while doing it.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

I think this ski would make an intermediate skier who was willing to put in some effort pretty happy and help them progress. If you are an intermediate skier who doesn't want to progress your ability, maybe stay away from this ski because you won't really find the sweet spot without putting some extra energy in. If you're advanced/expert and looking at this ski, I'd put it right next to the enforcer and ripstick for predictability and edge hold with a bit more playfulness than the enforcer and a bit more predictable than the ripstick.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

I was very surprised that Volkl put some character into this ski. It checked off a lot of boxes for me and I skied it at the end of the day when the conditions should have been at their worst. Putting it on edge in cruddy hard conditions and this ski was on train tracks wasn't completely unexpected, although how well it did it at 101 underfoot was surprising. It also had an undertone of playfulness too that made the last run of the day a good one.

A mixed run with steep trees, more mellow trees, very hard ice moguls and hard pack groomers.

This ski has always felt longer than 182 to me. The effective edge is really long in the tail and always feels like a long ski to me. I wouldn’t size up or down on this platform though, 182 seems right to me.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

The Revolt 101 is a difficult ski to make work exactly how it wants to be skied. It’s different from every other ski out there besides the bigger brother, the Revolt 114. Both skis need a pilot who’s willing to charge hard, ski fast and force the ski into a shape that can be playful. Otherwise, the ski can be pretty punishing if you’re not doing all those things. The tails of this ski is what really makes it feel so different to me. The front half of the ski in front of the binding has a shape that suggests a playful, more relaxed attitude. Whereas the tail is much flatter and has a taper shape that keeps the edge engaged and on the snow through the whole turn shape far better than any other twin tip styled ski I’ve tried. It’s something you need to get used to before the ski brings to feel intuitive and familiar. Once you start to open up the ski, let them run and pick up speed, the tail of the ski feels a lot better and makes more sense why it’s shaped that way. It’s a high performing ski that wants to charge and be aggressive. It’s more playful than the Revolt 114 that it shares so many characteristics with but still requires so “get up and go” to really come to life.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

It’s a true, pure bred Freeride ski. If you’re not feeding it technical terrain at higher speeds than the ski isn’t going to act in the way you’d expect or really want. Steep, technical Freeride terrain is where this ski shines the most.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

It’s an advanced skier ski as far as I’m concerned. Similar to the Revolt 114 that it’s designed to feel like, the more you can push this ski the better it will feel.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

It’s a great ski that I feel like I would love more and more the longer I have to ski it. A few runs isn't enough time to get super dialed in with the specific performance characteristics that the Revolt 101 has. I know there’s a great ski in there, I just need more time to consistently unlock that potential.

Ski:

Size Tested:

182 CM

Location, Terrain, Snow Conditions Notes

I kept the same test routine for every ski over 100 underfoot...consistent, no shortcuts. Up Forerunner into the icy Z-shaped corridor of Nosedive, then a hard left across the mountain and straight into a full-speed rip down Perry. It was the perfect gauntlet to see how each ski handled edge hold, stability, and confidence at speed.

Did this length feel short, long, or just right? Would you recommend sizing up or down, or does it ski "true to size?" Would you choose this length for yourself?

At my size and weight, I’m typically looking in that 180–185 range for any ski and this one landed right in the sweet spot at 182. It felt absolutely dialed: stable, balanced, and perfectly sized for how I like to ski.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I came in familiar with the Revolt 114, its bigger brother but immediately appreciated the 101’s flatter-ish tail and super balanced tip rocker. From the first turn I could feel that sturdy multi-layer wood core underfoot...it has a truly solid, confidence inspiring platform. I can tell this ski would be a blast off-trail, I put it through the same on piste test routine and really tried to push it...laying it over hard and driving through each turn. It never backed down. It held strong, stayed composed, and inspired confidence from edge to edge, even with patches of ice popping up across Perry. The top sheet design is wilder that I'd normally go but this one grew on me.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

I could take this ski anywhere...down a mogul line, lapping the park (straight airs or spread eagles only) with my kid, carving up groomers or even navigating an icy morning through the Z corridor of Nosedive and never think twice. It handled it all without hesitation and still made the whole ride an absolute blast.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

I can see this ski appealing to a wide range of skiers from past racers, park riders looking to branch out into something more versatile, to younger skiers progressing their skills. With multiple size options from 168 up to 189, there’s a great fit for a variety of builds and styles. It also feels like a perfect “next step” ski ideal for someone moving on from their first frontside setup and looking for more versatility. It opens the door to exploring trees, softer snow, and more playful terrain, all while keeping things approachable and fun.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

This ski checks a lot of boxes, it’s fast, playful and incredibly versatile. The top sheet is bold and eye catching, with a wild look that stands out in the best way. More importantly, it backs it up with performance. This could absolutely be a go to daily driver for East Coast conditions or those firm, early-morning laps out West.

Would describe myself as a freecarver (Freeride skier at heart with a love for carving). Any excuse to go drops, cliffs, jumps, spins, etc., I will take. But also very much enjoy pure carving on skis that many would consider far too wide to carve on.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

Never gets old carving these Revolt 101's! They have the stiffness and power to absolutely trench carved turns but also have a freeride and soft snow shape, so the balance of characteristics combine for quite the unique and versatile experience. Due to the shape of the ski, in a carved turn, they just rip you across the fall line with a crisp finish to the turn. There is a shocking amount of edge grip for not having any metal as well. Such a fun ski but they aren't the most maneuverable or easy in deeper snow off trail due to how stiff the tail is. I tried the 189 cm as well, which is what length I should be on given my height, weight, and ability, but I found downsizing to the 182 cm to be much better for here on the East.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

Low tide freeride terrain as well as on trail carving.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Advanced to expert skier, they are a bit stiff and heavy for less experienced skiers.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

So happy to own a pair, especially coupled with the Griffon X M.Werks - the perfect combo.
