Help me obsess

They do, don't they. Same size as I demoed in Colorado.

It takes a lot of ski to transmit perceptible feedback to a skier via a thirty-year-old rear-entry boot.

My trick is to have enough skis on call so that if one doesn't work out, there is always plan B.

What happens when you run out of letters?

Those are entirely too big for you. Clearly you should just give them to me.

I really don't remember them being that huge loading into the car in May.

I think it should be a requirement for everyone posting in this thread.

This obsession thing @bbinder has looks highly contagious. The only vaccine available to contain it is another new pair of ski.

I pre purchased two pair for Bob's thread.

I’m combining obsession threads, I’m jonesing for the Stockli Laser MX’s. I could barely type this reply given my shakes and nausea.

Yeah, it looks bad. Real bad.
Take two Stockli and call me in the morning.

Well, you have to remember the 186 Navigators were next to your 195 Stormriders.

My new skis looked a lot smaller out on the hill than in my living room. And I loved them as much as I did when demoing them. Stable at speed in big turns but also nimble in the bumps. Had a great day at Sugarloaf breaking in the Ikon pass with @Needham and @Tony S. Thanks for driving!

Great skis to think about. Didn't get to ski last season (Cancer, Surgery, Radiation--don't really recommend the experience) so can't wait to get out. I too am looking at replacing my Motive 95's. They are getting on and one tip is delaminating so here's my list. I can demo the Enforcers and M5 at my local hill. The SR 95 is at the top of my list at this point. Really want to try to Rossi's and Liberty.

o Nordica Enforcer 93

o Volkl Mantra M5

o Rossignol Exp 94 Ti

o Stockli Stormrider 95

o Liberty V92

o Kastle FX 95
