Have fun! I am definitely leaning towards the Enforcer 100 now Still a last question: is there a big difference between the Enforcer 100 and the Enforcer 104? I've also considered the Armada Invictus 99 TI which is not on this list but probably compares? It's really a super fun all mountain ski and it sounds like it would really match your skiing style. Not overly stiff, but stable enough to support a heavier skier. Should I just flip a coin or do you guys recommend one over the other for me.

Looking for Some Guidance? Just for mogul performance, the 93 will be quicker and easier than the 100. Like the Bent 120 and 100. Be prepared for burly and strong performance overall. I really like them, they are especially great in powder and a lot more forgiving and lighter than the Mantras. The all-new Atomic Maverick 100 Ti is a strong and powerful ski that takes over where the Vantage series of skis left off. Just retired, and purchased the Ikon pass. I'd look to the mid to upper 170's for length. However, I think I would prefer a ski in the 98-102 range. Please keep in mind that ski boots DO NOT come in half-sizes. Also, would you consider the Soulrider 97? I'm definitely not the most aggressive skier; I appreciate being able to ski in control at moderate speeds, especially in the steeper off-piste stuff. Does that make sense? I am 52 years old and i am 5-10 and 185. Are you not considering the Mantra in the 184? This construction is similar to what we see in race skis. If you really wanted to increase maneuverability and playfulness, the QST 99 is great too. You do not put limits on what youre going to ski on a given day. I really like them also. SE, Have you guys skied on or reviewed the 2019 Line Sick Day 104? Was thinking the turn radius on 177 Mantras would be similar to the 185 Enforcer.

More weight means the skis will feel softer, and shorter. SE. Most intermediate skiers will be tempted to wander off trail, but may not be brave enough quite yet. The FX 95 HP is certainly worth a second look--high-end feel for sure. SE. Sizing wise, the 172's in the BC's seem right, but in the Enforcer, I think I would go to the 177. Of course if you don't have ski poles to try this out on, you can always use the chart below. They're great in trees and bumps, but the Camox might be more well-rounded and with a higher-performance ceiling. For length, you know, honestly, I'd stick with 181 cm. Thanks a bunch and keep all the great ski reviews coming, you guys do a great job , Hi Pete! I read a lot of your reviews to help me understand more about the differences, so thank you for that! I'm having fun throwing in Super G hills like Birds of Prey when in tourist conditions, but definitely no ambitions at racing, and I don't see myself out of bounds or heliskiing within the lifespan of the next skis. What do you think? Their blend of Graphene, Koroyd, carbon, and karuba wood results in a ski that is not only unique in its construction, but also impressively stiff for how light it is. Seems like the Bonafides, M5 Mantras, and Enforcers should be on my short list. The Volkl 90Eight and the Rossignol Sky 7 are two other choices, but you're probably pretty well covered with the versatile Rustler and Pinnacle series. Then rocker technology came along, and, long story short, theres way more room for preference and interpretation than ever before. Have fun! What do you think about those for my needs?

I ski fast and hard on groomers, I get in the woods any time there is snow available, also hit moguls frequently. Your review of them was spot on.

Say what you will about Stockli, theyre all about precision, even if its at the expense of pure flotation. Im currently on the Brahma- I believe its the 2015 and I do like it but thinking of getting a new setup- maybe slightly wider. Intermediate: Congratulations! I like them for all-mountain skis as well, but I have other pairs for personal skiing as well. It doesn't have huge amounts of rocker or early taper, so its shape isn't totally focused for soft snow, but it still performs really well even in deep conditions.

Skiers who spend most of their time on groomed terrain but like a wider-bodied ski for both stability and versatility. It's not the most powerful or more precise ski on firm snow, but it's no slouch either. SE. Great stability, good float, and awesome versatility. That said, I also spend a good amount of time cruising down groomers with my family members, so I need a ski that can do it all. I skied the 193 for a couple of years and liked it more in soft snow, but that's about where my preference ended. In addition, the skis have that rocker profile to help with the drifty aspect of the ski, and it ends up resulting in a shorter turn shape and a quicker and more agile quality. I skied the Pinnacle 95 in a 186 and a 191 a few seasons back and enjoyed it, but felt they were easy to overski. Luke Koppa on the Line Sick Day 104, Telluride Ski Resort, CO. (photo by Patrick Sinnott) . I am looking to buy a new pair of skis, more playful and freestyle-oriented than my current Rossignol EST. Just be aware that the extra length takes away some of its maneuverability/forgiveness, so only make that decision if you really think you need the extra stability.

Talk to a Skier: href='/Chairlift-Chat/DPS-Phantom-2-Wax-System-Explanation'. The bad news, is that it can be a bit more difficult to do- but thats why were here. It uses a lot of rocker, and relatively pronounced early taper too. I consider myself a pretty fast skier - Love ripping groomers, but if there is deep snow thats where I'm at. As always, there's a trade-off, and in this case, it's stability and damping, so be prepared for that. Thank you for doing this in-depth analysis of the best skis around 100mm. In the 177 cm length, these skis generate a 17-meter turn radius, so it is on the relatively shorter side on this list, and we think thats a good thing given the strength and power. I am looking for a dedicated tree/off-trail ski, so something wider and more forgiving in un-groomed snow, but can still grip given the ice that so often lurks in the glades of New England. Other hints that you're looking at the Mondo Point and not the BSL would be if it looks something like "270/275" or if the number is found on the bottom of the boot. While this isnt a free pass to say screw all that, I know I need 210s!, it is an official recognition that different skiers have different preferences which can easily change the length of ski they purchase. Im looking for an A/T ski to pair with Shift bindings, approximately 100mm under foot. It uses a fair amount of rocker and early taper, which like a lot of skis in this article is more pronounced in the tip than the tail. I'm leaning toward the M5 Mantra, but also like the QST99 and the 98TI. For skate skiing, poles should be a bit longer. Any help on the SD 104 or advice on a ski? Atomic removes a serious amount of material from the center of the ski, which really brings the overall weight down. I have a pair of '99 Rossi 4S (203 cm) and K2 Totally Piste Teles from the mid 90s. The 99Ti fits better alongside skis like the Enforcer 100, Mindbender 99, and Bonafide 97 versus the 102's similarities with some the wider skis of its group. We're looking for your Mondo Point size, and the conversion is easy! This gives the 102 more stability and power in a carved turn as well as a bit better flotation in fresh snow. Want a ski that I control vs it controlling me if that makes sense. Atomic Bent Chetler 100 Reviews: . This flex pattern also enhances maneuverability as it's designed to work alongside the increased rocker and early taper. But currently I'm looking for a one-ski quiver that will be maneuverable enough for some quick tight turns but will also let me float a bit in the soft stuff and hold a carving turn or two at mid-speed when required. Although it's close to the QST 99 in width, its overall design feels more focused on soft snow performance. I think the biggest issue I have with the MSP 99s is that they are just not forgiving if you get in the backseat at all in the trees or bumps. SE. Tester - George Michaelsen 5. I am (6', 205 53 year old), have been skiing off an on for 45 yrs. Sidecut extending beyond the rocker is one of those things that they keep talking about that doesnt really make a lot of sense until you ski it and realize what a precise and fun-loving ski this is.

Precision and quality-oriented skiers who are willing to pay a premium price for a top-end product. Free shipping. Hope that helps! So will likely go with the QST99. It's got a great blend of materials that really give the skis a good amount of power and strength. The Enforcer 100 or the Ranger 102, on the other hand, both feel like great choices. I then saw it on your list, so that should be a strong contender. JavaScript seems to be disabled in your browser. Salomon qst 99 But I'm not sure I love them -- you described their feel as 'surfy' which makes sense. I suppose I'm also a bit confused because with much of my skiing being on moguls (of the sort that develop as a steep slope is left alone, not regularly shaped competitive ones), specialized mogul skis would be close to slalom skis, whereas skis for variable surface conditions get quite a bit wider--so what does one best use on moguls with variable surface conditions? I have been skiing all my life and I am still fairly aggressive, albeit slowing down a little each year. Part of what makes the QST so fun is the blend of power and maneuverability, and I would worry a little bit that the 188 cm would take away some of that. They have a great blend of stability and maneuverability. While its got the dual-metal laminate, its more active and engaging than a lot of skis in this grouping. Any other ski suggestions are welcome as well of course I love the Bent 100 as well, but it's pretty flexible. This makes the ski pretty responsive out of the tail, but when combined with the more flexible nature of the ski, its still pretty darn playful. Built with Dynastars Hybrid Wood core, the skis get the Poplar in the main trunk with Polyurethane (PU) material along the sidewalls extending into the ski. Characteristics of an advanced skier would be: the ability to ski most, if not all trails, an ability to ski fast, regular ability to ski off trail, and more traditionally, the ability to link full carving turns at full speed. Ski area: Lake Tahoe, CA, 10-15 days a season At its very hearth, though, this is still very much Mantra-esque, with precision and power to spare, not like youd want to.

If you're a playful skier that likes to use the entire mountain as your terrain park, a ski like this is right up your alley. Hi I am looking for new skis this year. Glad to hear you've got some new boots that are working well for you! You can use them most days when the snow is soft. Think I need something stiffer. SE, Hi Scott! An all mountain ski with some distinct freeride influence is a great way to describe it. I currently own a pair of 2013 Rossignol Soul 7s, 186, and a pair of 2014 Volkl RTM 84, 177. thanks! Power:Float Ratio, Straight-Line Compliance, Stability at Speed. They will chatter at speeds on the hard pack. Hi Oliver! And I have to say that I fell in love with those skies, I've never skied so fast on and off piste. In the Enforcer, I'd ski the 185 at your size. I'm currently on Dynastar Contact 10ST at 174cm, so ready for change. The Rustler 10, in my opinion, starts to feel like more of a freeride ski. Then skis got wider. Kind regards, Overall, Bent Chetler 100s are extremely fun over the entire mountain. No, theyre not park-exclusive, and thats one of the great things about them. Eric, Hi Eric! And other skis you would recommend to look at. Cross-country pole sizing is easy as well. Both the Enforcer 93 and Rustler 9, for someone your size especially, will handle that type of skiing a little better than the Kore 93. Keeping in tradition with the twin tip and more freeride-orientation, the Holyshred also employs a relatively long turn radius, coming in at 19 meters in the 182 cm length. They will need to set the forward pressure, DIN, toe height, and test the bindings with your boot to ensure safety. They're fantastic in fresh snow--they're on the heavier side, along with the QST, but they're not bulky or dull so the weight isn't really an issue. I think the combination of them being wider and longer helped a lot. Thanks so much, and keep up the awesome reviews!!! Unfortunately, I am not in love with these skis at all. In terms of versatility, the QST 99 can be described as a ski with a very even mix of performance characteristics for different terrain and snow conditions. Lower in the tail than the tip, these skis end up being remarkably playful in fresh snowmore so than youd think with a ski with two sheets of metal. Jokes aside, you'll be blown away by the performance of skis since the last time you were on two planks. Still will do both tho. The Fischer Ranger 98 Ti is another ski that bridges the gap between weight savings and stability. SE. Thank you! Do those make sense? I do a lot of tree runs and love to find powder but I also love to rip groomers and charge more than carve on them. I'm a advanced skier from western Canada. Maneuverable in soft snow, holds an edge on firm snow, it's a very versatile ski. Dan, Hi Dan! Mostly ski glades and bumps and live in New England skiing Stowe, Jay, Cannon and the Loaf. What ski to get We like how they've put the camber back underfoot in the Mantra, it really makes the hard snow performance stand out once again. You want something stiff, but not overpowering that you can ski on all day, any day. That's just barely taller than you, which usually works well for the QST 99. Im 55, 510, 195, Intermediate/Advanced. The snow was fresh, wet and chopped up. The Bonafides did really well on the groomers but felt a little heavy to me and a bit stiff. Versus the outgoing 105, this new 102 is a bit less tapered, but with quite a bit more tip rise. Thinking either Rustler 10, Fisher Ranger 102 FR or the Nordica Enforcer. It won't have the same tank-like feel of some of the heavier skis we're looking at in this article, but manufacturers are making strides in retaining stability and vibration damping while bringing down the overall weight. Intermediate: Congratulations! Youre likely still pretty cautious in regards to your speed, but are able to stop on demand and have a bit more confidence that youll make it to the bottom in one piece. Doh! All of my skiing is out west. I'm 6', 165lbs without gear. That seems like a great ski, but I'm wondering if I will then miss the playfulness of the Rossi s3 (which I believe has been replaced by the Rossi Sky 7 HD). I've found that former/current racers prefer skis like the Mantra and Bonafide to the other models on your list due to the construction. Buy the skis for the conditions you do ski versus the conditions you want to ski. I have also had a few folks recommend liberty origin 106s as they will supposedly be a blast on the tram but still hold up when I need an edge. The rule of thumb for skate poles is that they should come between your lip and your nose. Check the charts below to see which size you need. Since its been a while. They also have turned up tails (not true twin tips), so they do have a freestyle influence, but work great as all-mountain skis. I'm looking for something that can handle both hard and soft snow well, but not looking for something on either end of the spectrum. On your ski boot, there will be a 3 digit number on the outside or inside heel of one or both of your boots. I want something quicker and lighter. SE, Hi Nick! Thank you for all the great accessible information. Hi Tom! Weight: 170 lbs As a replacement for the Menace 98, the M-Free 99 borrows more from the wider M-Free 108 than its outgoing twin-tip brethren. Aggressive skiers who are looking for something just a bit more manageable than the burliest skis out there. Welcome back to skiing! Similar, though, to the K2, this Salomon also likes to be used in more of a hard-charging and straight-lining format. For the best experience on our site, be sure to turn on Javascript in your browser. Tom, Hi Tom! SE, If you're looking to go a bit stiffer, the QST 98 makes more sense. It's relatively lightweight and noticeably quick to maneuver, like the Sky, but it has better torsional stiffness, more stability at speed, and a longer effective edge because the rocker isn't quite as pronounced. Every day and am about to pull the trigger on a pair then flip flop between them and am right back to the drawing board. SE, Hi SE! I liked them. Required fields are marked *. Would the Rustler 10 be better? Hi Christophe! That would really help in tight moguls and trees, and it still has solid torsional stiffness and good vibration damping so will hold an edge really well on firm snow too. If you measure a Men's 8/Mondopoint 26, please select 26.5, for example. (re: my question below) So to summarize, with the two models you mentioned in the 90mm-class and in the mid-180s, we'd be talking about an Enforcer 93 in 185 or a Rustler 9 in 188, right? It certainly could. Its ability to transition through different snow conditions is perhaps its most impressive attribute. I like them but they seem a bit light and chatter in harder pack snow. The shape of the tail in particular is quite a bit different. I'm not a speed demon, more like ability to turn freely and easily. Due to it having two sheets of metal, the Enforcer would be a big change from the Sky 7's. Looking for something that floats well, turns easily, stability, good in woods. thanks Also something that wants to and feels more natural in the air. Dennis Ranalter calls it "the perfect all-rounder". I don't have a ton of powder experience. It goes from icy moguls to powdery troughs to firm groomers without missing a beat. I have some twin tips that I use for kid skiing, and it does make it easier to get around. Finding the proper length ski pole is important as ski poles too long will actually shift your center of balance to behind you, and a pole that's too short will put it in front of you. I think the Ripstick is a better complement to the Enforcer. I always skied on frontside skies(65mm 80mm underfoot) until last week I rented a pair of Kastle FX85 Alpine Skis(2017). Can't wait to hit the slopes, thanks for your help. The Enforcer 100 is arguably a little more versatile in terms of an even mix of performance characteristics. HI Hiserski! Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition Damn I love these skis. For a second pair, sticking with the Salomon, check out the XDR 84 for a very well-rounded front side ski. SE (Jeff), Hi SE, Looking for an all mountain powder capable ski(no park) and something that can handle the icy east coast. My current quiver consists of the Enforcer 94s for harder snow days, and Rustler 10s for softer snow, trees, and is my current backcountry touring ski.
