Frontside carvers will probably find the CP a more useful everyday ski. Another efficacious tool for honing carving skills. For most, a better choice than the Pro. More versatile, more forgiving and yet most of the top-end performance. Lighter, quicker, easier to ski. Crisp edge changes, can be skied with a soft edge if needed. Fall line, short turn, rebound fanatics should love this ski.
Replaces the original Rotor 76 and provides a similar range of attributes to a broader range of skiers. Still one of our all time favorites.
Easy turning, solid at speed. Even amenable in mild off-piste circumstances. Off trail, like when you take it into the trees or into deeper powder, the slight turned up tail and the fact the ski is lighter than most ski that use this much metal does give it some nice maneuverability.
Again, an upper-level skier will do just fine, but they do emphasize good technique. No sitting in the backseat and just wiggling around, you have to have your weight forward, be actively engaged in your skiing, and comfortable unweighting your tails when you need to get the ski to quickly swing around behind you. To me, the highlight of the Stormrider is the way it carves through anything. On the other hand, a skier with a different style than me, even someone who skis more like Bob, might not feel the same way.
Not everyone likes tail rocker. The carving-through-anything performance, however, is unreal. I think it does that better than just about any other ski on the market. Such a perfect blend of feeling approachable and intuitive, but also strong, stable, and precise.
Nice to see the Stockli SR reviewed. I happened to get a chance to demo this ski recently. I was intent on getting on a pr of Stockli's. While I did initially connect with the ski in a way that made me want to slot it into "My Next" Ski category. It was a day where I had the good fortune to try a number of Skies, one of which ran away with the "next Ski" trophy. It would be great if you would review the Augment. I have become hooked on your review section, it would be good to get your thoughts.
You know, I was pretty happy gliding through life with the assumption that Stockli was mostly about brand snobbery Stockli needs Henry Ford as this is the same thing they've been saying since day one. Also the Swiss franc is one of the most expensive currencies in the world. Lots of better skis out there for half the price. I find Ski Essentials reviews great.
Love watching them on You Tube especially Friday night review show. Very glad to see a review of a stockli ski. I very much enjoy my stormrider 95s, which I got at the end of last year. I had been skiing Volkl mantras.
The stormriders go anywhere and do anything. They really do prefer ungroomed however. I ski in Oregon, so comments based on heavy snow, some ice, mostly off trail. Also, I am an old guy who is trying to learn to ski with less muscle and more use of the ski's own attributes, and this ski helps that. Everything that you have described with regard to ice, hard pack and chop applies to my Kaestle MX 89s that I bought from you.
They are an amazingly well constructed ski that ride and drive like a BMW 8 series. They are smooth without sacrificing, but instead enhancing performance. Ski Sizing can be tricky, thanks to a combination of the ever changing ski technology. It used to be that if you extended your arm upwards, you should be able to reach the tips of your skis.
Then parabolic shapes came along. Then skis got wider. The good news is that the all around quality of skis is increasing, making it more possible than ever to find a ski that fits your specific style and preferences.
Take a look at the chart below, and if you have any trouble figuring out your size range, scroll past the cart to where we provide more information regarding these categories. Sometimes you just need to speak to a expert, so if you're still having trouble picking a size, please give us a call at Beginner skiers are classified as people who have never ever skied, right up to those just starting to dabble in Intermediate trails. Intermediate: Congratulations! Most intermediate skiers will be tempted to wander off trail, but may not be brave enough quite yet.
Advanced: This might be one of the hardest groups to identify. Ski lengths on our chart above will fall somewhere between your nose and eyebrows.
Characteristics of an advanced skier would be: the ability to ski most, if not all trails, an ability to ski fast, regular ability to ski off trail, and more traditionally, the ability to link full carving turns at full speed.
Ok, so maybe not the best, but you certainly could be a contendah, kid. Heck, you could probably even ski blindfolded and with your hands tied behind your back. Well, maybe not, but you get my point. More weight means the skis will feel softer, and shorter. With a bit of extra length, the skis will have a more accurate flex and better weight distribution. Conversely, skiers who are exceptionally light should stick towards to smaller side of the scale, for similar reasons.
In most cases, this is the right call, but skiers should be geo-conscious before buying more than they can handle. Powder is likely the most common reason to adjust your ski size, but other specialties such as ski racing, park skiing, and moguls can all skew what size is proper for you.
I size up. Look elsewhere if you need a lightweight, forgiving ride. Compared to the Laser AX, we found it more powerful. But the former may be a bit better for slower speeds and snappy slalom turns.
