I must admit to having never read the OP even though I did try to chip in with a constructive post, believe it or not bearing some resemblance to the title thread.
And now out of curiosity, I've just waded through all the thread.
And it reminds me of the old days in retail when my best mate ran a Windsurfing / Snow-Boarding shop, and there would be one or two clients, who when they walked into the shop everyone suddenly became extremely busy and preoccupied as they knew that the customer had no idea, and would never have an idea as to what they actually needed, plus they thought their skillsets were way better than they actually were, and they would merely try and engage them into talking bollox regurgitating shite they had read in the press for as long as his bladder would allow himself, that was when the Saturday boy started wondering if he really wanted to deal with idiots like this

I love Stocklis. Taught me to ski crud like it wasn't there because they only have one speed - fast. Don't come alive until at least 40mph. But I wouldn't buy/rent a pair unless I knew I was going to do at least 3 weeks back-to-back because they're not for punters, they're seasonnaire skis. Waste of time/money if you're not fit, strong and ski technically correct because you'll never get the best out of them.

@Raceplate, I'm no seasonnaire, not even close, but I have to agree...was given one of these Stockli Laser babies for a 2 day "premium" ski hire weekend in Switz, for peanuts really compared to their retail price, and they are superb. They were green ones too, which I was surprised about as red skis are normally way faster.

@spyderjon, I know some pixies who race on 150cm SL skis.

This is Greta Thunberg's influence. Premium products must always be green.

Notice pixies and race in the same sentence?
that would indicate a well trained high level of skiing at well less than 10 stone.
Slightly different to the OP

reality check, you're not actually winding anyone up and im pretty sure no one really cares. You regardless of what anyone tells you, have got yourself the wrong skis. You're just making yourself sound like a burk.

@sugarmoma666, Worked fine for me. It's some 2nd-hand 205cm Factions for sale at 100 quid.

Perhaps if you wouldn't they would be magic for you, you can't see the link. Like not believing in fairies.
