The all new 2026 Volkl Revolt 101 occupies a unique niche within the Revolt lineup, offering a directional freeride ski for those days when the snow is a bit less deep or a tad more firm. With a simple construction of Beech and Poplar woods and a progressive new shape and rocker profile, the Revolt 101 manages to balance strength and stability in soft snow with impressive carving prowess.

Why we like it:

The Revolt 101 surprises with elite-level carving performance and confidence-inspiring stability, all without a metal laminate. Its thick wood core and freeride-inspired shape deliver a unique balance of edge precision and off-trail capability, making it one of the most exciting and distinctive skis of the season.

Who it's for:

Built for advanced to expert skiers who demand power, edge grip, and stability, especially those coming from wider freeride platforms like the Revolt 114. This ski is perfect for aggressive riders seeking a do-it-all ski that excels on firmer days without sacrificing it’s freeride DNA.

Highlights:

The foundation of the Revolt 101 is the extra thick Poplar and Beech wood core, which delivers stiffness, dampness, and impressive edge hold, especially for a ski that has no metal in the construction. The wider tip provides float in soft snow, and the flatter pintail shape helps to mitigate the very stiff flex of the tail by allowing for an easier release out of the turn.

Things to consider:

Skiers considering the Revolt 101 as a hybrid touring ski will want to note it’s fairly hefty weight, which comes close to that of a Mantra despite having no metal. Fans of the equally unique Revolt 114 will find this is a mini version, while those looking for the classic Revolt freestyle characteristics should seek out the 104 instead.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size. Size down only if you're lighter or prefer a more nimble feel.
