Rossignol's Black Ops Sender Ti is worth a look as well, perhaps bridging the gap between the Rustler and Enforcer. All the skis you listed are great. Sounds to me like you're leaning to QST! The construction of the Mantra marks the introduction of Volkl's new Titanal Frame construction. Rossignol is willing to give up some stability and vibration damping in this ski in exchange for maneuverability and forgiveness, which is a popular choice among skiers who like to spend most of their time off trail in the trees, moguls, etc. Does that make sense? The flex pattern and shape of the Pinnacle 95 Ti give it really good performance in soft snow. $799.95.

Built with a poplar wood core and diago fiber mixed with fiberglass, these skis have a good amount of energy to them for sure. Powder is likely the most common reason to adjust your ski size, but other specialties such as ski racing, park skiing, and moguls can all skew what size is proper for you. At 100 mm underfoot, this is the widest Maverick, containing a poplar wood core and two sheets of titanal.

The QST 99 is quick, playful, and responsive. 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? Some certainly will, but if off-trail skiing becomes your preference, chances are youve graduated to the next level. Ex-racers certainly appreciate the metal construction of the Nordica, and you'll learn how to make it more playful.

I love that ski in moguls, and I think it would provide a refreshing alternative to your Bonafides. I would peg me as an advanced intermediate skier able to do groomed blacks but stay off western double blacks. Sizing wise, the 172's in the BC's seem right, but in the Enforcer, I think I would go to the 177. SE, How would you compare the M Free 99 to the Bent Chetler 100 and the Camex? They will chatter at speeds on the hard pack. This clean carver loves to be on edge. Like the Tracer 98, the Sky 7 HD is more focused on soft snow performance than firm snow performance. Aggressive skiers who are looking for something just a bit more manageable than the burliest skis out there.

Between the 92 and 99, the 99 has basalt in it as its damping agent, so you're getting more power out of that one. Nope! Ive been checking out the reviews of the Rustler 9 and 10 and think one of those could be a fit, as well. But now have the bug again and was hoping you could give me a comparison and recommendation between the Bent Chetler 100 and the Enforcer 100, as well as sizing.

As one of the burlier skis on this end of the spectrum, the Declivity 102 Ti has a wide range of applications and abilities that will appeal to a broad group of skiers. The Enforcer is certainly a lot more stiff and demanding than the BC 100, so take that into account when sizing. They're all pretty maneuverable, and if you didn't like the metallic nature of the M5, you'll probably like these more. Best Regards, HI Jesper! Oliver, Hi again Oliver! Your boot sole length is the actual length of your ski boot, in millimeters. What you will find, however, is exciting news on the boot . The name indicates as much, with the ability to Blend the park and the mountain into one gigantic playground. Good level. So I'm kind of a one off, not know what to do person. I am 23 and new to Freeski! Hi Pete! On the high-performance end of the spectrum, the Blizzard Bonafide 97 hardly needs any introduction anymore. Kids and a new wife have re-energized me and I got back out this winter, surprised how fast it came back to me, SUPER STOKED!!! In the 183, this ski generates a 23-meter turn radius, so its one of the most direct skis that well see. Last year, a ski instructor whom I trust suggested that a somewhat stiffer ski might help, especially since 200 pounds of moguls all day might be a bit more than what the Atomics are built for. Hi Dave! Have fun! I'm really leaning towards the QST 99, Bent Chetler 100 or Enforcer 100 - I'm not sure how to decide between the group nor 100% certain on the length - I think i was on a 181 last week, but I think i'd also be comfortable on the 188. I'm currently in the market for a new pair of skis and could use some help choosing from the huge amount of ski options out there. Really honest and good ideas. 6ft, 205lb, 40 yrs, aggressive skier that skis almost exclusively east coast. I am a bigger guy at 6'2 250 so those were a bit small for me but easy to learn on after 7+ years of skiing. I've skied it here in VT in about a foot and a half of light, dry snow, and it floated great, so unless you're in bottomless, I don't think the slight flotation advantage of the Rustler is worth the sacrifice, especially when it comes to on-trail performance. So with that being said the list looks something like this: Armada Tracer 98, Atomic Bent Chetler 100, Salomon QST 93/99, Liberty Origin 96 and the Faction Prime 2.0. I'm not a speed demon, more like ability to turn freely and easily. Power:Float Ratio, Straight-Line Compliance, Stability at Speed. You agree given my stats? SE, Hi SkiEssentials With a fair amount of camber underfoot, the Maverick 100 is energetic and snappy, and thanks to the new Omatic Core construction, the skis are light in the swingweight as well. I'm looking for a 1-ski quiver. Love your review videos. (78mm waist) About 5 years ago I demo'd Volkl Mantras on an epic day in Colorado and loved them. We had a lot of fun in the trees with these skis, as the HRZN tech in the tips combines with that cap build to make it agile and swift while remaining stable and powerful on more groomed terrain. 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. And in terms of sizing, your range sounds good, probably look to the high-170's if you can. I have been skiing all my life and I am still fairly aggressive, albeit slowing down a little each year. I'd look to the mid to upper 170's for length. The longer turn shape of the Stance 102 is mostly to blame, as this straighter-cut ski loves to be used directly in the fall line. I'm bouncing around all over the place with little control and getting tired fast. If youre truly an expert skier, you probably know it. If you really wanted to increase maneuverability and playfulness, the QST 99 is great too. I love the Bent 100 as well, but it's pretty flexible. Im 60 and 195, and I mostly ski under control and not super fast. So you can measure yourself, or you can just check out our handy-dandy chart below. On the other hand, the Unleashed is a little softer than the Enforcer with a more pronounced tail to offer a freeride application.

Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. I'm 5'10", 180 lbs. We were somewhat expecting the Kore 99 to be on the stiff side, but probably not at the very end. This, combined with the vertical sidewall underfoot tapering to half-cap in the tips and tails makes for an incredibly versatile ski that is properly built for the everyday advanced skier. The Daemon is probably what you're looking for in that lineup. I have seen them not release to the correct newton meter values during torque testing, but only for really lightweight skiers. Sale: $479.93. My friend who got me into skiing (my favorite activity now) didnt help me at all and said buy what you think looks cool, which I have come to realize was terrible advise. That stiffness also translates to torsional stiffness, meaning the Kore 99 will hold an edge with the best of the best in this category. This is for high-performance skiers who know how, and like to, drive a ski and tell it what to do. The QST 99 is a bit more heavy-duty, and for a ski without metal, is pretty stable and stout. I have the Elan Insomnia that I ski on in the East but I'm looking for a second pair for out West. I like the extra stability on groomers, and with 102mm waist widths, the extra length allows me to use these skis in light powder on those rare East Coast days. The Bent Chetler 100 is significantly softer-flexing, and the Enforcer 100 is heavier. That gives the Enforcer 100 excellent vibration damping and stability, but because the metal is thinner it softens up the flex a little bit from tip to tail. 188 cm might seem huge, but at your size and given the shape of the ski, it could definitely work. SE, Hi SE, Currently on 181cm Blizzard Bonifides 2015 edition. From nose blocks and butters to tail stands and nollies, these skis are built and shaped to handle the most creative freestyle ski minds on the planet. Looking at Mantra M5 in 184 or Kore 93 in 180cm. The Vantage 97 Ti is a perfect example of that concept. I do like to carve some turns occasionally but not at high speeds. Great, thanks SE.tbh that was my feeling too. Your boot sole length is the actual length of your ski boot, in millimeters. From what Ive read on the two skis, the turning radius of the 177 Mantra is similar to the 185 Enforcer. But felt they were a bit too heavy and burly for me. Atomic vantage 97c For more stability at speed, that does come at the price of weight, the QST is a great ski for sure. While its not the best floater on this list, its strengths lie more in the charging through crud and chop. I am looking to buy a new pair of skis, more playful and freestyle-oriented than my current Rossignol EST. Thank you for the comment! I'm definitely more of an aggressive skier (want a confidence inspiring ski when testing the speed limit), but also want something versatile and playful to hop and jump around on, as I'm always looking for natural features to hit. Currently skiing 2018 Enforcer 100s. Check out the Blizzard Rustler 10. If you're looking for that one pair that really does a good job of hard snow and soft snow versatility, the Rustler 9 is pretty hard to beat. I like the updates, as I think it makes the ski more manageable at different speeds and terrain. Cross-country pole sizing is easy as well. Will spend enough time on groomers to not completely forsake having fun there as well. What do you think? I ski approx. For that dual-coast one-ski quiver, the 95-100 underfoot range is pretty awesome. Thanks again! Happy to chat more about it. I skied the mantra last week in 177cm and liked it. I am so glad one of my colleagues told me about your reviews on YouTube, because they have inspired me to finally replace my 2012 Volkl Mantras. I was looking at the Nordica's (haven't demo'd but all the reviews look really good) but then tried these. Was thinking the turn radius on 177 Mantras would be similar to the 185 Enforcer. If you are familiar with the Brahma, you'll be familiar with the Bonafide--same ski just wider. Can't wait to hit the slopes, thanks for your help. Had a hard time bleeding off speed when needed. Like the Bent 120 and 100. Playful skiers who want something equally at home during trick time as it is in the backcountry. If you're going to demo on pow days, then I'd recommend getting something on the 95ish side. My name's Jeff, I assume you were looking at the last person to leave a comment. Thanks! Out West, where things are a bit more open, its not uncommon to see skiers on skis much taller than themselves. Weve had these in over two feet of fresh snow, and frankly, they do just fine. Still will do both tho. I also love aggressive short turns and carving at high speed. Built with a light wood core and Stocklis Titec Pro metal topsheet, these things are true Stocklis--worthy of the praise and price for dedicated all-mountain skiers. Thanks you for thinking along, really appreciate it! What do you think? I am 62 about 5'7' at 210#. Thanks! No, theyre not park-exclusive, and thats one of the great things about them. 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). None of your choices are "wrong," but that QST just does everything well. More than just dads who ski. thanks for the great overview and all the reviews! Your email address will not be published. I don't want some chattery noodles when going fast but I also don't want lifeless sticks that will leave something to be desired for off-piste runs. A bit more demand out of the Rustler, as it has a partial metal laminate, while the Ranger only has metal underfoot for binding retention. Looking for your thoughts on those as well. I don't think the bit of extra flotation you'll get is enough to sway the overall performance of the ski. It has some obvious freeski-influence in its design, loves natural features. I think for your application and where you ski, the low 100's underfoot is the place to be rather than 90-95. Im 6'0, 200lbs. From about the mid-body forward, the carbon nose starts as a central spine and widens to full-width in the shovel and tip. Should I be looking more in the 90-95mm range?. Im looking for a good all mountain ski that carves well, is quick and will help me improve my bump skiing. It will hold an edge like a GS ski on firm snow, and has a preference to complete a carving turn, as opposed to letting the skier release the tail edge and smear the ski. What sets the Camox apart is a great blend of positive camber underfoot with moderate taper in the tips and tails. 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.

I'm guessing you'll ultimately choose another ski, but I also think you'd enjoy finding out what the new Mantra is all about. I'd say the Sky is the best floater of the three, but doesn't quite have the stability of the Salomon. I've been skiing on the Rossignol Experience 83's for about 6 years now and I think I'm ready for a new pair of skis that more suits my style. There are days where I love the ski for its ability to handle well in pretty much an condition, and especially when I take it out west, but there are also days when I find it hard to get what I want from it. All in all, the build and shape lead to a fun-loving and fantastic overall attitude for the Holyshred. In the 180, were looking at an 18-meter turn radius, so these skis do have the proclivity of being on edge. If you're looking to blend light weight and performance, I'd take a strong look at the Elan Ripstick 96, or 106, if you're looking for wider. They both have metal in them, so they're damp and stable, but not the full two-sheet style of the Mantra. You sound like a QST skier to me. With Armadas Articulated Titanal Banding, skiers are able to use this wider shovel to their advantage, as its supple and damp enough to rip through crud and chop while being stable and strong enough to hold a strong edge on the corduroy. Cross-country pole sizing is easy as well. You do not put limits on what youre going to ski on a given day. Any help on the SD 104 or advice on a ski? I own a pair of Pinnacle 105, so I'm pretty biased. SE, Have you guys skied on or reviewed the 2019 Line Sick Day 104? Adam in Toronto, Hi Adam!

For length, the 174 cm QST 99 feels about right, or the 172 Ranger 98. The Kore (93 I'd recommend for you) is light but stiff. 188cm. It has a similar shape and profile to the Enforcer 100, but is lighter and more energetic. Right now I am skiing the 4Frnt MSP 99 in 176 cm that I bought back in February. Fischer also uses a very thin tip construction by integrating carbon into the ski's construction. One more that I know you guys have as wellhow does the Ranger 102 FR fit into this mix?
