Refusing to rest on their laurels, Völkl put last year’s successful Attiva S4 out to pasture and introduced an improved version for ’07–’08. A category favorite from the moment our testers clicked in, the Aire was unanimously praised as a smooth, solid and easy ride. It sticks to the fall line with tank-like assurance, yet, with strips of light balsa layered in its all-wood core, it’s got a quick touch that won’t rip your legs off. “These skis will make anyone ski like a champ,” said Wilde.
Best For
Expert pilots who will make it shine, but it’s still accessible at all speeds.
Not For
Skidders, on whom its talents will be wasted.
