Thanks all for helping me with my frontside skis (Liberty V82). With the season pretty much at an end here (there are some fun outings left like cinco de mayo where we ski but it is more about the party given crowds and conditions), I am thinking about an update to my 3-ski quiver for next year.
I now have the Liberty V82, Salomon QST92, and Nordica Enforcer 110. The Salomon's have seen a few years now and it's that mid range (92-98mm) ski that I am looking to replace that will actually be the primary ski in this group. I have the Head Kore 93 and Elan Ripstick 96 Black on my short list, but what else should I add?
So you don't have to look it up again. West coast skier. 5'8" 175lbs. Upper advanced short of Expert. If conditions allow, more off piste than on, but limited hiking/backcountry. Also, started skiing 30+ days per year and noticed that my preferences are changing given the reps. I used to treasure finesses skis (low speed turns, scrub, etc.) but am finding in the last demo session I am now leaning towards power (turns accelerate, stable at higher speed, etc). I still appreciate some forgiveness but don't mind skis nudging me into better form.
