Volkl to be made in China?

Now Volkls will get all wimpy, like K2 skis and all the rest of the biggies - light and flimsy. There won't be any skis left for folks who want a solid, meaty feel in a big ski that tracks like a cross-country locomotive. Double merde! And Marker will focus exclusively on their pointless "integrated binding system" eventually dropping its real bindings. Triple merde, with a stopped up drain! I'm gonna have to stockpile old, unused Volkls and Markers MRRs. |

There won't be any skis left for folks who want a solid, meaty feel in a big ski that tracks like a cross-country locomotive. It sure makes ME wonder... What about all those unemployeed German Engineers? In theory, it shouldn't matter where the skis are manufactured. If it's a good design and the factory makes it as specced, it should be a good ski no matter where it's made. In practice, the same mindset that moves the production to China is what causes the engineering and design to go to sh*t. A black day for The Volkl COnspiracy.
