Not only does the ski match the 50% piste/50% freeride programme to perfection, but in addition, its intuitive and playful nature ("a toy!" one of the reviewers wrote) make it a whole new ball game in pleasure.

The Völkl is a ski with character that’s extremely easy to use. The combination of these two qualities makes it a wonderful toy that’s full of energy and will give the skier hours of pleasure. A little jewel that we recommend for athletic skiers looking for a lively, playful tool.

With the Adora, Völkl has signed a real success story. This is a ski that performs particularly well and is very adaptable. It’s the ideal ski for riders who already have some technical skills under their belt and who want to progress to more athletic turns.

Opinions were divided about this ski, possibly due to a preparation problem. Model to be retested next year.

The Viola from Völkl is the ideal tool for good skiers who want to do long turns at high speed. The ski is brilliant for this type of turn, “like being on rails”, as one of our reviewers would say. Despite these (highly appreciated) qualities, it lacks the versatility and accessibility to do well in this category.
