I am a female adult racer who has done well over the years, was top in my NASTAR age group nationally......and bought a pair of Stockli skiis last year. Think I loved them so much I did not pay attention to the specs and want to race on them. First race was not so good. The skiis are 161 and 124/78/111. Any opinions about the wisdom of racing on them? Marcia

Not exactly a race ski dimension. AX?
What type of racing?
It’s likely that ski can be greatly improved for racing by tuning it with more appropriate angles. Like 0.5-0.75 deg base and 3 deg side edge.
And, or, get an appropriate ski.
