What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

Solid cruiser that likes speed and carving.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

At home on the groomers but can handle the crud and ice.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

This would be a good upgrade for an intermediate that is confident in their turning or the one quiver ski for the expert that really like to cruise fast on the groomers.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

Solid ski that dampens the terrain but don’t expect it to be very playful.

It depends on with whom I'm skiing. Everything from Toll Road to Liftline (slowly) with my wife, to Centerline bumps/woods/any groomer at speed if alone or with other friends. I calibrate to the worst skier so everyone has fun typically

Did this length feel short, long, or just right? Would you recommend sizing up or down, or does it ski "true to size?" Would you choose this length for yourself?

This skis true to length or perhaps a just bit shorter. This is not the size I would get for myself, as I would likely go with a 176 or maybe even 170.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

Unfortunately, they only had a longer ski than I typically ski and that did impact the performance I was able to get from the ski compared to, for instance, the Stormrider 88 in a 174. That said, even with them being too long, the ski was forgiving and relatively easy to turn in short and carved turns, held an edge well on hard pack, and felt stable at speed. They had the characteristic Stockli smoothness, being very quiet and damp even on ice and frozen corduroy. These are a contender for a one ski quiver with good width underfoot for deeper conditions than we had today. They were a bit slower edge to edge than a narrower waisted ski, as expected, but were still energetic and very predictable in how they turned (both short and longer carving arcs). Even when substantially longer than I would normally ski, they had me wishing I could ski them in the shorter length! Overall a very nice ski and likely a great performer for the majority of skiing/conditions one sees in New England.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

They were very good on groomers. As they were too long for me, I didn't take them into the icy bumps we had today, so cannot comment on bumps or woods directly, but I imagine they would be fun in both at the right length.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

These felt a bit more forgiving and likely would be a good ski for a relatively new intermediate skier (not beginner, as they still skied better with firm input) up through an advanced skier for an all mountain ski.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

If I'd had the right size, I suspect these would have been one of my absolute top skis. Even with a substantially longer pair than I would normally ski, they were in my top 5 across carving and all mountain skis.

First impression was the tip did not want to engage and had too much flex but after I learned what the ski wanted it rode great and engaged.

Great for aggressive quick turns on groomers.

Not a beginner ski, experienced Intermediate to advanced ski.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

This is one great ski. It turns easily, carves an awesome arc and holds wonderfully on ice. This has to be on the top of the list for this type of ski.

Frontside, steeps.

Advanced or expert.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

This is one of the best skis I’ve tested. The other 2 are the DPS Pisteworks 94 and the Volkl Mantra. The Stocklis are heavier than the others and a bit stiffer. The DPS’s are lighter, quicker and have a slightly better arc. The Mantras are right in the middle. You can’t go wrong with any of those skis. It’s just a matter of preference.

Would describe myself as a freecarver (Freeride skier at heart with a love for carving). Any excuse to go drops, cliffs, jumps, spins, etc., I will take. But also very much enjoy pure carving on skis that many would consider far too wide to carve on.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

It's seriously insane how smooth these skis are, as soon as you pick them up you know you are holding a premium product. The smoothness and quietness of these skis is truly incredible, it feels like there is nothing on your feet. The soft flexing tip allows for easy and intuitive turn initation. The stiffness throughout the rest of the ski provides all the support you need without being punishing or overly demanding. Each turn is so crisp and clean too, just incredible.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

All-mountain, you can do everything other than thigh deep powder really.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Advanced to expert will get the most out of this ski.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

Solid, gives you the feeling it will handle anything. To prove the point I hit some death cookies and the skis did not deflect.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

I’m betting it’s a great all mountain ski. It loves big arcing turns, but makes great short turns also. Good hold on the hard pack, good float in the deep corn.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Experts will love it and I think an intermediate could quickly become an expert on these.

A strong intermediate skier. If you don't stay centered you'll get exhausted.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

The Stormrider 95 was a lot of fun. It’s surprisingly light for a ski of its caliber and has great edge control. The more pressure you put into it, the more the ski responds. It felt great for long, arching turns at speed and was stable on firmer snow.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

Enjoys firmer snow and colder conditions, but defiantly can handle it all. I would keep this as a frontside ski.

Advanced.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

These are simply amazing. Incredibly clean and precise from start to finish. You hear nothing, feel nothing, yet are totally connected to a carved turn in the snow. Strong underfoot and through the tail with a bit of a fun and surfy shovel.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

This ski works amazing on packed powder--way better than most counterparts due to the flexible shovel and the predictable finish. You can make it work anywhere--it's not terribly demanding, but it's not as round or surfy as some other skis.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

This is a good ski for advanced and expert skiers because it has such a high end ceiling. At the same time, it's not too heavy or demanding for an intermediate to be able to learn and progress upon.

If you could change anything about these skis, what would you change and why?

I'd like to see a 185 in this ski.
