So I'm 6'6" 275 and 48 years old. In the last 4-5 years I've got back into skiing after a bad knee injury in 1995 (long time off). When I first got back into skiing it was mostly to go with my kids and spent most of my time following them down blue and green runs in the Midwest. Since then they have both got older and better to the point where I'm having to push harder to keep up.
I would say I'm a solid intermediate skier but feel like my skis are holding me back. My current skis are a pair of 2018 185 QST 85's. When I was going slower with the kids they were fine but now that I'm trying to push a bit more and ski steeper terrain I feel like I'm maxing out the flex on these and I might do better on something bigger and stiffer.
I'm looking at a pair of 191 Enforcer 94's. Everything I read about the skis say that they are for someone above my level but with my size I'm thinking they might be fine.
I ski 15-20 days in Minnesota and will take at least 2 trips out west to Montana this year. I mostly stick to groomers.
Thanks for any help.
