Hello, i have been demoing skis for some time. I have a great opportunity to grab some of the 2021 Stockli Nela 88, and was wondering what size - 152 or 160 cm. Unfortunately, i could not demo them. here is some background
Has anyone tried the Nela or the older Storm rider to recommend a size?
Much appreciated!!
- 5'0", 100 lbs. Aggressive at times - but not always. I can ski anything, and consider myself experienced - maybe not expert since i have not had a lesson since 1985
- I really like a damp ski, but the Kenja and the MindBender were just not right for me in moguls. Both of those i was around the mid 150's. I liked the Santa Ana, but only had a chance to try the 100's at 153 cm. (Moguls and piste only). Moguls are 5% of my time, but my kids are there more frequently and i want to tag along.
- I demo'd the 166 Stormrider 88, and they were too long. I did take them through ice moguls with no problem, and they were such a sweet ski i had to get some of my own. However, they do not come in less than 166 now, so looking at the Nela.
- I ski out west 10 days min year. Mostly EPIC locations, or Alta (my uncle has a house there, so every other year that is my go to). I am in PA, but generally do my skiing in a different state
- Powder7 recommended to me the 160 Nela - said that in the crud i would likely prefer the 160 over the 152
- Most places recommend an ALL MOUNTAIN at your height (which for me is 152).
