Völkl Revolt 101 Skis 2026 – Freeride All-Mountain Charger for Mt. Hood
The 2026 Völkl Revolt 101 is a playful freeride all‑mountain ski that feels just as confident ripping groomers at Timberline as it does slashing Mt. Hood Meadows side‑hits and tree lines. With a 101 mm waist, lightweight construction, and Völkl’s proven 3D sidecut, it delivers quick edge‑to‑edge response on hardpack while staying loose and surfy when the snow gets deeper or more variable. This is the “do‑everything” Revolt for skiers who want one ski to handle early‑season laps, park hits, and spring slush sessions in the Northwest.
Key features
-
101 mm waist for true all‑mountain versatility from firm groomers to soft snow and chopped‑up powder.
-
Directional shape with Tip & Tail Rocker and camber underfoot for strong edge hold, easy turn initiation, and confidence at speed.
-
Multilayer Woodcore with full sidewall / mini cap construction for powerful edge grip, stability, and long‑term durability on hard Mt. Hood snow.
-
Völkl 3D sidecut (different radii in tip, center, and tail) for quick, agile short turns and smooth, stable arcs when you open it up.
-
Recommended with a 105 mm brake freeride binding like the Marker Griffon X 13 for a strong, modern all‑mountain setup.
Who it’s for
The Revolt 101 is ideal for strong intermediates through experts who want a lively, directional freeride ski that can still spin, butter, and pop when the terrain or park calls for it. Former racers with new‑school freeski ambitions, all‑mountain chargers, and Mt. Hood locals looking for one ski to take from early‑season groomers to spring park laps will all feel at home on this platform. If you like to ski fast, hit natural features, and mix on‑piste carving with off‑piste trees and bowls, this is a prime daily driver.
Terrain and conditions
-
Best for: Freeride, freestyle‑inspired all‑mountain skiing, side‑hits, trees, and off‑piste lines.
-
Conditions: Hard snow, packed powder, mixed resort conditions, and light to moderate fresh snow.
-
Behavior: Strong and stable on edge, quick to pivot in tight spaces, with a flat tail that finishes turns cleanly and helps scrub speed when needed.
Construction and tech
-
Core: Multilayer Woodcore combines denser hardwood near the sidewalls for power and edge grip with lighter softwood in the center for lower weight and agility.
-
Sidewall: Full sidewall with mini cap for energy transmission, precision, and increased durability against impacts and chipping.
-
Base: Sintered P‑Tex 2100 base for fast glide and high durability when you’re lapping lifts all day.
-
Profile: Tip & Tail Rocker with camber underfoot – rocker in the shovel and tail for float and smear‑ability, camber in the middle for drive, rebound, and edge hold.
Lengths and sizing
-
Available lengths: 168 cm, 175 cm, 182 cm, 189 cm.
-
Sidecut (all lengths): 133 mm tip / 101 mm waist / 115 mm tail.
-
Turn radii (approximate, vary by length): shorter, more agile radius underfoot with longer, more stable radii in tip and tail thanks to the 3D sidecut design.
-
Weight (per ski, no binding): approximately 2080–2300 g depending on length, keeping the Revolt 101 energetic without feeling flimsy.
For Mt. Hood skiers who want one ski that can carve, slash, and spin its way across the whole mountain, the Völkl Revolt 101 2026 is an easy choice. Pair it with a solid 105 mm brake freeride binding and you’ve got a playful, hard‑charging setup ready for the full PNW season.
