According to the weather, it will be quite stormy on the mountain the next two days. Maybe a different ski for those conditions!
Yeaa , it said it was supposed to snow yesterday and didn’t at all, so I’d imagine there’d be an hour or so at least of not much snow to test them out, but def planning on trying some wide skis out too
It had a winter snow warning yesterday but didn’t snow at all, so I’m sure it will snow but I anticipate some morning period of not much snow to test them prior to the other skis
Are you staying near the gondola ?
If you’re demoing from Powder House and looking at the shorter length skis, I think I’m demoing whatever you don’t end up buying next time I come up. The guy at the store mentioned there was another woman looking at the same skis I was interested in.
I ended up demoing for just a couple runs! Was limited on time and snowed too much the first 2 days to test them so waited til last day. I thought they were okay but I feel like conditions would have to be super groomed and icy to enjoy them… I feel like because of how narrow and solid they are they easily catch edges in crud which isn’t something I ever pictured being an issue with narrow skis. And then I thought about having to pay attention to not go towards the powdery edges of runs or having the option to go between trees occasionally and realized they’re too specialized for me… definently not a relax and have fun type of ski, more of a see how focused and fast I can go without hurting myself ski lol. Def let me know what you think about them!!! Hate spending money to demo and not buy something but it was a nice way to appreciate the skis I do own now (mindbender 85’s). I kind of liked the montero stokli 158’s I tried on a run, but think if they had a shorter length they would’ve felt better.
Yeaa I ended up trying them and quickly realized the same
I ended up trying the mx’s and monteros!! The mx’s weren’t that enjoyable with the thick cruddy snow, I felt like I would have to be a ballerina treading lightly on them to give them any use with current conditions. Didn’t get as much time on the monteros as I would’ve liked, they seemed enjoyable but definently a heavy ish solid ski… took a fair amount of energy to turn, which partially could’ve been the length since I demo’d the 158. I think overall maybe I could appreciate both more if I was an expert skier but a little hard to gauge with being a modest intermediate. If you try them let me know!! Definently skis you have to focus on since they want to go fast, but sounds like if you already own some lasers you’d enjoy them
Yes I did! And yes there ended up being a ton of snow during my stay lol. Waited til day 3 to demo and still too much snow to really enjoy the Stocklis
Didn’t get as much time on them as I would’ve liked, they felt fun but definently skis you have to feel limited on where you can go with to an extent. My legs were kind of exhausted by day 3 which is when I demo’d them so that also made it difficult to give them a decent review lol. They seem like fun skis but not a ski I would pick in my top 3 skis to own if I lived out west where it snows fairly often
