ski recommendations

Please bear with me for posting another one of these threads :roflmao: I've been reading and researching for a few weeks now and still haven't come to any solid conclusion on what my be best for me. I'm not opposed to having a multi-ski quiver, but want to start with the first purchase as if I...

My soon-to-be 12-year old daughter, who skis the whole mountain parallel, can link her turns in moguls, steeps, learning crud, but is motor skill delayed (she just isn't a power house and lacks body awareness) is throwing me a loop as to what skis to buy her for the season. I feel that she is...

Hi all. To keep it short, i'm 6'2 and 210lbs, upper advanced, can really ski anything, sometimes hitting hard, sometimes chilling, i generally like short to medium turns. I like my skis fairly stable when going fast but playful and light feeling with some pop and energy. Conditions-wise skiing...

Stöckli vs Kästle, Kästle vs Stöckli, these are the comparisons that keep people coming to Pugski. I feel like a ring announcer in Vegas: "In this corner, measuring in at 74mm underfoot, the Kästle MmmmmmmX Sev-en-ty Fourrrrrrr, and in the far cornahhhh, measuring in at 77mm underfoot, the...

I'm looking to replace my 186 Atomic Theory skis. They had a 95mm waist, which I found pretty versatile. Theyre fun skis but I'm a heavy guy and I'd like something with some metal in it. I'd like something with similar dimensions that's a bit sturdier but still has the rounded, slightly softer...

Hello all: This year I am hoping to progress my carving - high angle skiing. Two years ago I went to Bachelor with my oldest son and borrowed a friends Rossi Pursuit ski (the 800 HPI ---I think). Skiing corn snow with that ski was a bit of a revelation! Since then I have been looking to get...

Will be starting 2nd year back into skiing after a few seasons layoff...Wow how things change! Did a demo day at Loon last spring trying out most of the popular 85-100mm skis...Brahma, Monster88, Enforcer93, Kore93, M5's, etc... It was relatively soft/new snow on top of usual east coast pack...

I recently returned to the sport after a brief seven year hiatus from skiing and am now in the market for new ski. About me: 40yo, 5’-11”, and a portly 230lb athletic intermediate level skier piloting vintage (2005) Head iXRC 800 in 170 length (65mm under foot). I ski mostly groomers...

Hello all. I'm in the market for new FIS SL skis for shits and giggles. I've scoured the forums (and the web, in general), and can't find much about Dynastar's FIS SLs. Lots of info and feedback about other brands, though. There are still new 2017-2018 pairs floating around out there for a...

Long-time...first-time... I've posted this question on two other forums, but am looking to get as wide a cross-section of opinions as possible. So I apologize if any of yall have seen a very similar post elsewhere. I looked at all the relevant threads I could find, but didn't come across an...

I currently own and ski on Head Great Joys. I got them in Tahoe in 2017, and they were great for that season. Even this past season, I really enjoyed them; except for in tight spots, like steep trees, chutes, moguls. Is there a ski that would be good for ice but also moguls, trees, etc? Or would...

At the end of the season I realized that my daily drivers were getting long in the tooth-edge. They've been a great skis, but maybe it's time to retire them to rock skis. These were the 2014-2015 Rossi Hero ST Carbons. Great east coast ski and I love to death. Like almost 200 days of lovin...

Hey all, brand new member and searched, although with confusing results. 49 year old male, 5'10" 200lb advancing intermediate, ski in North East, and really just getting back to skiing after a 8-10 year hiatus while raising a hockey player and normal parenting duties, as many here prob have...

Thanks to this forum we found the perfect second ski for my wife (Blizzard Sheeva 10) so I'm back for some help for me. I am looking to replace my narrower ski in my two ski quiver. I have a pair of 106's for 3-4+ inches so I have that covered. I have a pair of K2 Aftershocks (86 cm) that I'm...

Ran a lot of searches and I know who a lot of the heavy hitters are out there, but sometimes, the frame of reference for these recommendations is western packed powder and off-piste, versus my own frame of reference, which is Mid-Atlantic Ice Coast, and one to two weeks out west (for packed...

Looking for some skis for spring and icy conditions. Like my cham97's for all round conditions and powder but they leave a lot to e desired when its icy. Need a good groomer ski that likes some ice. Mornings like this weekend we started at at -15c and were right around freezing by lunch. Had a...

A year ago on this site I was looking for a new ski to replace my '13/14 173 Bonafides. There was so much powder in the Sierras last year that I never got off my, '16/17 184 DPS Wailer 112RP2 Pure3s, so my research failed to progress much... Thankfully this year I'm not distracted by all that...

Hi All Heading to Big White in 3 weeks. I have 4 pairs of skis and will be bringing 2: One for powder conditions and one for days with harder snow/chop/crud, etc. For powder, I have the Soul 7 and the Patron. Went to Whistler last year with both of these and had 5 bluebird days with hard...

Gang, I can find plenty of reviews of Origins in 96 and above but nothing on the 90. I guess it's new. Looking at buying a pair at my local shop but am hesitant to do so without feedback. Thanks. Bill

So I'm kind of in the market for a new work ski and could use a little help from all you folks that are much more educated about ski characteristics than I am. As you can tell from my user name I'm down here in the Carolinas so we have a little different type of season than folks in the rest of...
