Former EpicSki member and first post here. I’ve skied on and off since 1968, but regularly (25-40) days a year for the past 15 years. I’m 71 years old. I ski my local mountain in Idaho and 4-5 days a year at Snowbird/Alta. I’m an advanced skier but reluctant to call myself an “expert” although I’m comfortable both on and off piste.
Here’s the information I’m seeking. My current on piste ski is the Volkl 84 RTM, 2013 edition. My powder ski is Rossi Super7. I want to replace the volkl’s with a cambered ski. I’m considering the Blizzard Brahma, Volkl Kendo, and Nordica Enforcer 93. I’ve not been able to demo any of these skis although I’ve skied the Blizzard Cochise (too much ski) and the Enforcer 100 (want to be narrower). The Dynastar 88 and Blizzard Rustler 9/10 are also thoughts.
Previous skis in my quiver have been the Atomic B-5(?), Scott P-4, K2 Coombas, and Nordica Hell and Back (AT setup).
Although I don’t plan to ski any less, I am getting older and less risk adverse. I like to stay in control and am almost always in control.
With all this said, I’d appreciate any advice on my potential choices as well as any other ski that may fit the bill. I can’t afford to demo al these skis at $55-60 dollars a day.
Thanks
