 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I've mentioned several times how impressed I am by the Stöckli skis, I just got a mail saying there was a test in Grindelwald on 19&20th March if anyone's there and interested. No sign or charges, just turn and try some, you leave your own skis as a deposit.

It's a very good ski indeed, it's not as good off-piste as my Zags but it's a slightly better all-round ski, it's stiffer than the mass-market all-mountain skis so handles better for me.

DB, I'll grab a pair next time at a Stöckli test, I've not bothered before as I'm not sure it's my sort of thing, it's a composite core ski though and just hefting them around at a test I thought it had a lot of flex. More of a park ski I thought, ie kids.
The StormRider DP looks interesting though.

The only people I have seen who can ride those things are very strong skiers (strong physically and strong technique).

DB, I skied with an instructor who had a pair of Snakes. They had freaky flex patterns. He used them mainly in the softer stuff

Fox,
How did they perform on piste? Do they have chatter problems? Am I right in thinking the shovels were soft but the rest of the ski was much stiffer?

DB, they were OK on piste, but I wouldn't use them as a race ski! Shovels & tails are soft. the centre is stiff.

Thanks Ise,
Would love to try Pitztal and the Stöckli's but I'm touring the Silvrettas that week.
