Ski racer and Olympic medalist Julia Mancuso, who was previously with Rossignol Skis, signed a two-year contract with Volkl Skis and Marker Bindings last week. "I took part in my first ski races with Volkl skis when I was a youngster – so the change is somewhat of a homecoming for me," Julia said. "I am focused on using the new material to open up a new and even more successful chapter in my skiing career. The new equipment compliments my skiing style and I am already feeling welcome into the Marker Volkl family."
