Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Hey everyone. I demo’ed and fell in love with Stockli Nela 96 skis in a 156. Im 5’1, and 115lbs. I have a BSL of 273 in a 23.5 boot
I was taking them all over the place in Big Sky, and felt very in control and confident, like they would do whatever I wanted.
Got my own set, had them mounted at the recommended mount point, and I felt like I had NO CONTROL today. I couldn’t engage the tips no matter how far forward I got, and felt like I couldn’t find the sweet spot at all. The tips felt wild, and I felt like no matter how far forward I got, I was still “skiing the tails.” My husband took a video of me being super cautious and commented that it looked like I was skidding a lot.
I seem to have this issue whenever I get my own set of skis - they never feel as good as when I demo them! It’s so frustrating! I’m wondering if I need to have the mount point moved up, but I don’t even know how much farther forward to go. I’m lost here, and I’m so dissapointed. This is such a confidence killer. I was tackling all kinds of gnarly runs on the demos, and today I felt like a sloppy beginner.
Im going to see if I can upload a video my husband took. How do I even begin to figure out how far forward to get a remount done?
