Greetings all,
For next season I'm in the hunt for a frontside ski in the 172 - 176 width range. I want something versatile that is good in east coast ice conditions but is still fun in "normal" snow. I tend to like a "fun," "poppy" ski that can tolerate my terrible bump skiing while providing stability on groomers. I ski a lot of terrain "advanced" but I'm currently stuck in terminal intermediate in all but mild "blue" bumps.
I will be using this "ideal" ski to work on form and advanced skills/drills - not specifically to work on bump skiing. My instructor(s) think that a narrower ski will help me advance.
Next season I will be 65 yo, very fit, active, and around 145-150lbs (yes, I'm projecting, but I'm determined! ). I'm 5.5 w/a muscular build, but I like to ski short, e.g., below 160.
Right now, my go-to quiver is the Stolkli Nela 80 (157) and the Volkl Blaze 86 (159).
Any and all suggestions are appreciated!
