Volkl – Deacon 7.6 Gold

This is a great entry-level setup from beginners to intermediates who are looking for a ski with a strong heritage, but an easier to use personality. Based loosely on the measurements of the top-flight Deacon 76, the 7.6 has, you guessed it, a 76 mm waist width, and this is great for most all groomed and manicured terrain.
