skied the AX's finally yesterday at WP in perfect hard pack conditions.
Take those AXs up to KinniKinnic, off the Pano lift. A match made in heaven. You'll be grinning from ear to ear when you hit Edelweiss!

When I had them mounted, the fellow who did it said he kindly detuned the tips and tails for me, which I had not asked for. Do you think this could be the issue I'm experiencing?
well, I would say maybe a grind isn't needed, but perhaps a hot scrape, mine new are the flattest new skis I've gotten, but in my first wax had more than expected black stuff came out in my scrape. Though this is just for speed though rather than feel or performance.Have a race oriented shop look at them. The guy who actually tunes the skis as opposed to the counter worker. They might benefit from a grind also.
Good point, but no. barely melting the wax. This was leftover from the factory grind or initial ptex hairs. Did 2 other pairs of skis in same session with same technique and iron setting and no stuff on those.The black stuff might mean you used too much heat.
The Stockli factory is quite small I hear. Smaller than lots of ski shops. A Bass Pro Shop would dwarf it.
Does he want to buy them? I'm represrnting mdf.

Veering slightly back on track ......
While I fully support the group consensus on the AX, I would like to speak up on behalf of the V76. I have both and lately I've reaching for the V76 more than the AX. It seems more nimble and responsive while still being more than stable enough (at least up to the teeth-rattling snow stage). And that tight turning radius is sweet!
Yes. my suspicion is that the Liberty 76 might be more playful than the AX based on the 106 Liberty skis I also have. Absolutely love them.
The V76 would probably have been a better personality fit for my skiing. On the other hand, the seriousness of these Stockli skis forced me to pay attention and I think have been good for my skiing.
OK. I'll tell the DH you said so!The laser is still a. Superb ski and I still own it. Now buy a v92
