The Never-Ending Stöckli Discussion

[Tony S]

Just curious, @Juanito ....are you female? Or a male liking the softer SRMotion and SR97. (I figured your screen name referred to a male, since it’s “Juanito“ and not “Juanita” but I digress).

I used to own the SR83. It was a delightful ski with the same construction as the 97. It was very versatile, but didn’t hold quite the edge as the AX does ( I didn’t own the AX at that point). I sold it to someone on this forum, but I kinda wish I hadn’t....I’m going to be skiing tele about 50% of my time next year, and that ski would’ve been a GREAT tele ski. Oh well.

I've been secretly dating a pair of the SR 85 Motions from 2020. Unspeakably awesome in soft snow and bumps. Jury still out on hard snow / edge-locked turns. Messing with the tune. We'll see.

I suspect those skis are very similar to the SR83’s I had. Awesome in bumps and softer snow, but not super grippy in really hard snow. I didn’t play around with the tune, though. I miss those skis. I am mounting a pair of existing skis with tele bindings for next year; those SR83’s would’ve been PERFECT for that! They were billed as a touring ski, so were a bit lighter and didn’t have quite the baby sealskin smoothness of the other Stocklis. Still, awesome ski that I sold to a fellow SkiTalker here.

My Edge 88's are wonderful in soft snow, and not too bad on hard snow.

Could be technique related.

Never miss a decent deal on the good stuff, eh?

Interesting that these do feel burlier than the current model on hand flex and the tips do feel stiffer. I like that very much.
Cant wait to put them on snow.

Good find. But these, you won’t like - better send them over here.

I just thought I'd leave this here, make sure it is in the right place:

My exact experience with the SR85 Motions. Their lightness and flexibility make them great in soft snow and bumps. Not really chattery on hard snow, but not as solid/grippy as their more stout Stockli cousins.

I don’t think it’s the tune. At the beginning of the season, a local ski shop tuned my SR85s. Unbeknownst to me, they neglected to bevel the base edges. To say the skis “hooked” would be an understatement. Took the skis to another shop and the problem was solved.

I own that ski and I am 80 lbs lighter and 5"" shorter ,So I dare say it was too short

I'd like to demo the 188 or 190 SX or AR for sure..

You are out of luck, sadly.

Longest for AR is 182, for SX 181.

Only option is the WRT FIS SX-these come in 185, 190 and 193,

You need to put some duct tape on them when you're out in public ??

Better yet only ski them at certain hills where people only take skis they are secretly skiing ... kind of like that Seinfeld episode with the restaurant people take dates they do not want to be seen in public with.

No, no secrets from people actually on the hill. Just been holding back from the Stöckli nut jobs here.

 

[Ski Jedi]

Thank you Lindsey!! Never expected to get such a good answer for anything on the internet, ha!

Question: are there any changes for the CX in 21/22? Also, can we make orders through you? (No dealer within 4 hours of me sells the CX [San Francisco, CA])

Helm of San Jose will have them next season. Or you can special order from Cal Ski Co late summer / early fall...

We resemble that remark.

That said, I had thought of getting Motion 85 or Nela for myself.

David, my 2017 Laser AX are the most versatile skis I've been on. Equally excellent on frozen corduroy* or scraped off porcelain, soft pack, slush, crud, and up to about 4" of fresh. Very good vibration damping. My bad knee tells me to avoid bumps, but when I end up in them the skis easily do everything I ask of them. I'm sure other skis do some things better. I'm not sure many skis will do as many things as well. Now...I'm waiting to see if the 2022 AX, after 3 product cycle upgrades, will be noticeably better than my 2017s.

*We need a movement to stop grooming runs in the spring before they've frozen for the night. 3rd shift grooming only!

+1 on that David. I have been skiing my new AXs at Alpental the last two weekends and they were able to handle everything the hill through at them. I will say that when things turned from Corn Snow to Corn Chowder my SR95 performed marginally better, but lets be honest no ski will perform well when the snow is that soft.

Water ski?

Does anyone know the new Stöckli Edge FT? It seems to replace Edge 100 but with only 94mm underfoot it is lighter (still not a lightweight for touring skies).
