ski recommendations

I have a buddy who I would classify as beginner to intermediate and he wants to get off rentals for next season. What would be some good skis to look at for him? He is 200 lbs, 6'.

Hi! I have read posts on Pugski for over a month, and have seen some Pugskis stickers on lift towers, but this is my first thread here. I'm 26, 5' 10" and now 240 lbs. I consider myself to be an East Coast expert skier and an advanced skier at Jackson Hole. I ski glades, moguls, and groomers...

Would it be crazy to put a shift binding on the Fischer Ranger 107 TI ski for side county/short tours? I have a lighter setup for longer tours and a health quiver of resort skis. I was thinking the 189(but possibly the 182) length with a shift might be a good travel setup as well, seems like it...

I'm looking for a pair of skis and debating between these two. I'll mostly be on groomers and ski in Tahoe. 2020 Atomic Redster X7 WB 2021 Head V-Shape V6

Thinking of adding a pair of Stockli SL's @165 cm OR adding BOTH the Atomic Redster S9 @ 165m AND the Atomic Redster X9 WB @ 168cm I demoed both the Atomics this past year. Loved the s9 for learning to carve short radius turns and holding an edge on icy/frozen man-made granular in the...

I’ve decided to take advantage of Corbett’s end of season sale and do some early Christmas shopping for my 11 and 13 year old daughters. The 13 year old is about 5’7” and 125 pounds. The 11 year old is about 5’5” and around 110 and probably still growing. Both have been skiing a little over...

I thought I would take advantage of the end of season sales to buy some new frontside skis. Just a bit about me -- I'm 52 yo, 5'6", 120 lb., consider myself an expert, but these days, I'm less power and more finesse. I ski primarily at Deer Valley and Park City. A couple of years ago, as a...

Hi Guys, new here (admin please feel free to move if in the wrong place). I'm currently looking at replacing my skis, and I'm looking for some advice from people who've skied any of the Dynastar Legend 96, Zag H-95 or Fischer Ranger 102FR. Budgets not an issue on these 3, and I've skied a 2012...

Hi all-- I hope everyone is safe and healthy...and enduring as best possible. I know there is a Stockli rep who often checks in at Pug Ski, I think her name is Lindsey, and was hoping that she or any one else with some insight Stockli could help me on this Stormrider 88 question. I am...

Hey Folks, I'm looking to ID a small number of powder skis to demo next year. Hoping more experienced hands here can help me narrow the list. Thanks in advance for any tips. Here are the specs: 1. They should be good at both Alta (East Greeley, West Rustler, etc.) and also mellower/slower...

What would be better for Powder , Elan ripstick 86 or Head Monster 83? I am not big fan of Powder ,but like to have second pair of the skis for one of those days and do not need anything wider then 86 . Thank you .

In the spirit of remembering this is asking forum.... In prepping my DHs skis for summer storage, I see that the edges are getting awfully thin. Figure he will need replacements for these much beloved skis by the end of next season. If we have one. He is, ahem, older. Good skier. 172 lbs. We...

Hi all - I'd like to take advantage of the end of season discounts (and support the industry). Me: 6'1"/180, lower to mid-upper intermediate. (Level 6/7?). I live in NJ and ski i the Poconos, Catskills, spend two weeks in Steamboat every year and hope to get to S. Vermont next season. I spend...

I came back to skiing after a long break a little over 2 years ago. My daily driver has primarily been 182 cm Stockli Laser AX’s. Most of my skiing is in PA with a couple of trips north. I also have have180 cm Rustler 9’s that have mainly been sitting in the rack since I got the Stockli’s...

Greetings, I currently use 2017 K2 Pinnacle 105’s @ 177cm as my “quiver of one” do-it-all skis. I’m happy with them in soft snow/fresh corduroy but I struggle a bit trying to carve with them when we haven’t had any fresh snow in several days and conditions are “icy” by western standards. I find...

Due to a big hole in my quiver. I'm trying to decide on a ski for skiing amongst the trees, bonus if it can pull double duty as a deep snow ski for a lightweight skier. I'm not looking for a one ski quiver; I have race skis in various radii for use on groomers, am perfectly happy enough...

Hi Everyone, Classic request: I need help choosing which skis to test next. I'm an intermediate but advancing skier. 6/3" 180. I basically spend all of my time on on the frontside of the mountain. About 75% of my time I spend on groomed runs, but find myself spending more and more time in...

Howdy, short time lurker as I just found this site which is awesome! I’m somewhere between an advanced-intermediate to an advanced skier on groomers, light chop and fresh snow. I hard charge down blues but am much more conservative going down blacks. I’ve started to ski gullies and off-piste...

Need suggestion for new skis. located in the east coast Ontario area. advanced skier (can do most double black without any issues), 155lb and 5'11. Currently have 2018 K2 pinnacle 88 but would like to get new skis that do it all for all snow conditions in the east. Consider mainly Enforce 88 in...

I need new skis. Snowboarded regularly (some 50 day seasons) from 1983 until end of last season, high competence but not a full on killer. Tore a hamstring and discovered that skiing didn't hurt it, so started skiing in April last year. I've skied 12 days now. Last day was at Red Mountain BC...
