I took a 30+ year break from skiing and when I came back a couple of years ago I was amazed in the changes that happened to skis and bindings.
I missed a lot of iconic skis along the way and have worked to catch up on what I missed by reading this and other forums.
I’m curious what people would name as unicorn skis: one that can carve on hard pack and float on the fresh, one that charges hard and is playful and easy to pivot. That unicorn do-it-all ski that just works no matter what you want do. Not something great but the truly exceptional skis.
I can make the argument that part of it is the skier and not the ski, but let’s talk about the gear itself!
I’ll start by throwing out the Blossom White Out. I ski a Vist-branded version and it seems to do whatever I want and need it to.
I suspect we will get the Stockli Laser AX. Looking forward to hearing from others.
