2023 Volkl Flair 8.0 Skis

Skiers emerging into the world of skiing will love the simplicity and ease of use of the Volkl Flair 8.0 skis. With a crisp attitude and well-rounded behavior, the Flair 8.0 will be your best friend out there on the groomers.

Why we like it:

We love skis that are easy and fun to use, and for the most part, don’t take themselves too seriously. For short to medium radius carves, this thing is a total blast.

Who it's for:

Beginners and intermediates will get the most out of the Flair 8.0, but there’s a home for lighter advanced skiers here, especially if they’re more at home with a lighter and easier to ski product.

Highlights:

Volkl’s Flair technology has been around for a while now, and it’s a proven way to ensure proper carving and smooth transitions. With a short radius and a precise feel, confidence will be high on the Flair 8.0.

Things to consider:

Expert skiers and former racers will be a bit strong for the Flair 8.0, so don’t expect endless stability and power here. Also, it’s on the narrower side, so soft snow performance isn’t a premium characteristic. You can go a bit shorter if you’re in between sizes, mainly to take full advantage of the shorter turning capacity of the ski.
