By The Hammer from East Bay, CA on 10/07/2009 Pros: Durable, Good Grip, Great Flotation, Smooth Ride Best Uses: Downhill, Powder Describe Yourself: Competitive Skier Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is an odd ski in the Stormrider series because it isn't a GS ski with a wider sidecut. It is a soft (for Stockli) powder ski that you can ski slowly through the trees or let rip in a bowl. It has the classic Stockli edge grip and great construction. You can ski it on the front side w/o a problem. Regardless, it is not a one ski wonder (they really don't exist), but a solid powder ski that can be used in the park with any binding that moves the boot 3 cm or so off of neutral. I tuned mine with a 1 degree base bevel since I only use the ski in soft snow, and put 2 degrees on the side bevel. That tune seems about right for this kind of ski.
By iski from maine on 02/08/2009 Describe Yourself: Advanced Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have skied this on hard snow on the east coast and was surprised by its grip on hard snow. It makes you work on groomers and ice, but likes to run and excels in slop and loose snow. Really, really fun in loose snow.
