Looks like a similar era ski to the P50 by the graphics.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Volkl V series (there were several models in the V series, V1, V2, V3, V-sport) carve-cruiser from around 7 years ago.
Your old 4800s were better than this.

comprex, ta. Looking at cheap skis for someone who needs to learn this season or next. Will probably buy second hand in resort, but it's always worth trawling ebay anyway.

Lizzard, look for 17m or less, in a length that will support the person's weight and strength. Most of ^those old Volkls were in the low 20s, 21-23m for 177cm lengths.

comprex, I'm no expert but wouldn't 17 metres be a bit long for a beginner?

comprex, has to be something on which he can start more or less from scratch and progress dead quick, needs to reach a good standard over a season.

that'll be "marker" I think. Normal volkl bindings.

pam w, I think your right, but i think your sarcasm meter is off. Those bindings have the lame biometric toe release. Don't bother.

Lizzard, yes, that's exactly what I understood you were trying for.
"Good standard" as in technically correct skills (in which case I'd stay with teh carvers such as Dynastar Omecarve 10, Fischer RX6, Head ic 160, Nordica Speedmachine/SUV), 17m or less published radius. Benefit: control on ice. If he stays with technical skill development, he can grow up to be like Darth under a new name, skiing everywhere on 165cm SL skis.
If you mean "good standard" as in hooning about at high speed everywhere, get a mid-70s waist ski, 16-20m published radius. Benefit: easier high speeds with intermediate skills. If he stays with tactical athleticism, he can grow up to be like parlor, nothing less than 192cm in bumps.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I mean good technical standard. Hooning about is not relevant in this case.
