I was at a Stöckli test day a couple of weeks back, I didn't try the Stormrider as I've something in that line already although with more time I'd be curious. Mrs Ise and I did try some others though and they really impressed me, the construction quality was superb and the price, at least here, is pretty good.

mistermouse, I have Stockli Stormrider AT's. Yes, I know, I know, I will come to that ...
Stormrider AT's have been a top expert freeride ski for 3 or 4 years now. Real freeride. GS through windblown hard pack, carry on through crud, dance down a few moguls and into some powder. A race ski for the whole mountain. Not to be confused with what other manufacturer's call freeride or all mountain to get people to buy them.
Trouble was, they weren't as brilliant in the soft, fluffy stuff as they were brilliant everywhere else. So they widend it and created a new version called XL which is now great in the deeps.
A word of caution. They are quite stiff (stockli trend) because they are not aimed at mass market but expert skiers so you get what you put in. And if you don't put much in they will sort you out.
Looking at the post by Dypcdiver, the all round quality described is provided by the AT. The XL is more for back country and touring for the agressive, fast rider.
