Backcountry Description: The Kuro is back with a vengeance as the fatty in the Volkl freeride lineup, with ELP rocker and a new longer length to keep you stuck on the surface of bottomless fluff like an Alaskan oil slick. In powder that would hide the average toddler standing on a trash can, the Kuro's decidedly un-svelte 132mm waist lets you float, smear, slarve, and otherwise play like it's recess time. Volkl beefed up the Kuro's construction for the 2010 season, adding extra insurance against binding and sidewall issues when you're charging hard and tipping these gargantuan planks on edge.

Best ski ever |
This is my second season with this ski, and I couldn't be happier with it. Obviously in powder it can't be beat, massive float, massive stability, massive speed, massive everything. I love that I can ski powder with an aggressive, forward stance and not worry about going over the front. But come on, look at the ski, its no surprise that it crushes the deep stuff, the surprise is how it handles on other areas of the mountain. Way more than does well enough on the cat tracks to get back to the lift.I ski the 195 and I remounted it at +2 cm after about a month of traditional mount. Loved it traditional, really love it at +2. Mounting the ski forward really changed how it handles in crud, bumpy stuff or other less than ideal snow conditions. It made it much more maneuverable and fun to throw around for quick snappy turns. Also, skiing switch is easier, if you're into that. So call me crazy, but I now ski this as an all mountain ski, even ripping groomers. Although, with the reverse camber, they don't track very well if not on edge, so keep em turning and you'll be loving the big huge tracks they can lay down. Just try'em, ski them forward and aggressively, and I will bet you'll be amazed too. One more thing, after a few weeks of skiing last year's models, the topsheet started flaking off in big chunks. They seemed to have fixed that this year, so they stay shiny and pretty for all the gapers out there to stare at.
