I'm going into my 5th ski season 22/23 and I'm always trying to up my game. I've been skiing 2019 K2 Thrilluvit 85's (waist is 85) for the past two seasons and LOVE them! They're 156's, I'm 5'6" at 150. I gained confidence on them and was skiing more confidently than my wife until 21/22 when SHE got a new pair of skis. Now I can't keep up with her (though this has restored her confidence since she has been skiing 5x longer than I have....late bloomer here).
I've got my eye on two pair of skis right now and can't decide based on reviews and specs which direction I should go (or if I'm even on the right track) and would love some feedback from anyone willing. The top of the list is the Lib Tech Libstick 98 (waist 98) and second is the Lib Tech Libstick 88 (waist 88). I'm looking for more stability in crud and afternoon conditions, at higher speeds, and something that is as forgiving and fun as my K2s. I don't go near the parks and am quite content with staying grounded. I'm not a fan of moguls, but like most, find myself on them when following the family, so I CAN do them...but it ain't pretty. I guess you could say I'm a cruiser that loves to go fast, but only if it feels stable. I'd love to ski powder (if ever fortunate enough to stumble across it on a trip) but don't believe my K2's to be adept in those conditions. Any insight anyone can offer on the Lib Techs or making the jump to something as wide as a 98 is greatly appreciated. TYIA
