All around ski for a former Racer?

[Rudi Riet]

I'm with @Muleski here in most respects.

I'm an ex-racer/current coach at a small east coast area and my daily driver is the Atomic Redster X9 in a 181. It's great for coaching and ripping the groomers, hardpack, etc. It's not as good for soft stuff as the narrow waist will sink like a stone.

But if I wanted a ski to ski for fun and wasn't coaching, here's my shortlist:

Völkl Kendo
Nordica Enforcer 100
Nordica Enforcer 94
Blizzard Bonafide

If you'll mostly be on groomers the Atomic Redster X9 WB would be a fantastic option as well. So would the Head i.Speed and i.Rally.

If you are an ex racer skiing the east coast don’t even look at anything near 100mm for a 1 ski quiver.

but I'm 46 so I'm old and weak and enjoy a bit easier ski to rip groomers all day with. A cheater GS is fun too.
