So many skis in this "slot". So many great skis. I have owned every generation of the Bonafide in a 187cm. I still really like the ski, and always have. I know that I'm a bit of a contrarian there. When I was given my first pair in 2012, I was skeptical to say the least. After a couple of days in the Rockies it became my all-purpose, jack of all trade ski. Pretty solid at everything. I also have had the nice situation to have been given some Enforcers, 193cm. Nice ski. Fun ski. Does everything. I don't think it has quite as much backbone, and a bit less of an old snow from snow bias. Bit in softer snow, and in deeper snow, it wins. If I had to pick one for an average trip on a plane, I'd pick the Enforcer.
I ski a number of days on a 184cm Monster88. If I'm not on a narrow race ski or cheater, I'm most often on that ski. If I were headed West, personally, I would think about a 184cm Monster98. I have skied it, and I like it. I have skied the Kore 105cm for a day. Interesting ski. I found it to be a lot of fun. It could be a great touring ski for me. I'm not sure if I'd love it as an everyday ski, though I am sure that 95% of those who demo it will love it. Same with the 93 and the 117. I'm an old school race bred guy.
I'm lead by my ski availability, and "price." Stockli is not in my wheelhouse, but I would surely consider a SR95. Now having said that I know a number of very loyal, fully all in Stockli and Kastle skiers who have jump on a Renoun and have not looked back. The one exception are friends who ski the Kastle that Phil mentions: the FX95HP. The ski wants to ski fast, is super damp, likes big turns and it needs to be driven. But, yeah, it's quite a ski. Like most Kastle's I find myself between sizes. If I were to buy that ski, I'd want more than a 181cm, less than a 188cm. That's why I have never had a pair of MX88's. 178cm was too short, 188cm, just a beast.
No input on the Dynastar or Armada.
My big ski is, and has been for some time, a first generation Bodacious. I have it in a 196cm and a 186cm. Very pleased to see the original layup being reintroduced. I've had the newer generations as well. Something about the originals. The 196cm is truly just for exceptionally wide open spaces and big, big turns. The 186cm is surprising versatile, for me.
Having said all this, I I were
@PisteOff , and going blind on this, I think I'd buy the Enforcer. If you don't like it, easy to unload. It skis short. 193cm for sure. Or if I were wiling to spend more, the Renoun. Everybody who I know in the design side of the business says that Cyrus has really done great things with his skis.
I'm about 5'10", 210lbs. Give or take!
@Jed Peters might have a couple of thoughts. Strong skier, long time Stockli skier, now all about the Renoun.
Good "problem" to ponder! When I think about what I'm going to ski on, BTW, I factor in where we will be, snow surface and terrain, and who we will be skiing with. For example , I ski the Bonafide on average faster, and like me it likes bigger turns and fewer bumps than the Enforcer. Having fun with friends is a big part of our skiing. And some are slowing down......
