Volkl unlimited ac 50 2010

I want to buy one ski Volkl unlimited ac 50 2010.
If anyone can help somehow please write here.

hi try snow and rock or ellis brigham ...they are Vokl stockists

Equally, try contacting Volkl direct. They should be able to put you in touch with someone if they do not have any. http://www.voelkl.com/contact.html

OK, can of worms time. I assume you need one to replace a broken or damaged ski for a pair you already have. I was under the impression that skis were "matched" together when made. Is this no longer the case with modern skis, or is it simply that most skiers would not notice the difference?

I ask, as it may be better for you to consider replacing the pair. Perhaps someone with greater knowledge on the subject may post a reply.

Good luck anyway. Oh and welcome to the forum :D

Your best bet would be to try Volkl UK based in Redditch Worcs tel 01527 514374

There was a discussion on this topic here. The skis usually are all made the same without matching with some rare exceptions when skis of a given pair pre-made left and right. With some skis "left" and "right" is usually determined by graphics without the real diffrence, but some skis have slanted noses so there WILL be real difference between right and left skis and impossible to skis them put on wrong feet. But most skis become left and right after consistent use as wear patterns develop over time (over 100 ski days, so most recreational skiers will probably switch to a newer model before that actually happens and professionals will have more than one pair anyway), however wear patterns will be more or less symmetric if skis are randomly swapped from left foot to right - conclusion here was that it's largely a matter of personal preference. For brand new skis you can take two pairs of the same model and mix them up and then randomly take two skis to form a new pair and it should be absolutely the same as the remaining pair. I don't think there is any difference between left and right skis for Volkl unlimited series, so any pair will work for replacement of one ski.

I am not sure though it's possible to buy just one ski but not because it's matched to the second ski of the set. Contacting Voelkl directly or their local reps is a good idea. They do replace broken or damaged skis still on the warranty.

Hi VSB, it was not a left/right difference I had in mind. I am sure I saw a documentary a few years ago about ski making, and after they had turned out a batch of skis, they then set about matching skis into pairs.

This was to do with the way they flexed and twisted, and where on the ski they flexed and twisted. They were trying to avoid getting two skis, where one would flex x° halfway down the ski and the other would flex y° further forward in the ski.

These were mass produced skis as well, not hand made items where you might expect to find some differences.

But shouldn't it be the same for left and right ski? I think this is the reason for matching, so the skis in the end are identical. Just sorting them into pairs will make those odd sub-standards ones out easier.
