The Head Kore 93 also comes to mind, falls into a similar category, although its flex pattern is a little stiffer than the QST. Could the Kore 93 work? Are you not considering the Mantra in the 184? It also is a great ski for someone who values maneuverability and quickness over speed, as you mentioned. Have fun!

I have been skiing on K2 Amp Phantom 160's since about 2013. This time, we're doing the same thing, but we're looking at 100 mm skis! Just like the Menace, however, the M-Free 99 is a capable and willing participant in anything that you can find. It would help your progress in moguls and trees, so if you wanted to focus more on that progression than firm snow, you could pick up a Kore. I've been skiing on the Rossi s3 since 2013 so it's time for an upgrade. I am an advanced skier (5'10'', 170-ish, 31yrs) who spends 95% of my time skiing the North-East. If you liked the Bonafide but want something a touch more forgiving, I'd lean to the Rustler 10. SE. I'd look at the Bent Chetler 100. The flexibility and playfulness of the ski closely resembles that of a snowboard, so there seems to be a pretty logical transition there. Therefore, the Unleashed may be a little more approachable than the Enforcer. I've currently got a pair of Blizzard Magnums (I think low 80s underfoot) which I love for the groomers, however, I am finding myself sometimes spending the entire day off-piste in the trees. Swerve-masters and jibsters all over the world. For skate skiing, poles should be a bit longer. If you like the general shape of the Enforcer, I'd put a strong vote for the Bent Chetler. Thanks! On steep powder I tend to want to play and make turns down it vs charge at high speed. SE. As always, there's a trade-off, and in this case, it's stability and damping, so be prepared for that.

I'm really torn between the Bent Chetler 100 (180cm) and the Sick Day 104 (179 or 186cm) for a 50/50 one ski quiver mounted with Shifts to be used mostly in the French Alps. So in the end I feel that my current ski is holding me back. Every day and am about to pull the trigger on a pair then flip flop between them and am right back to the drawing board. Any help would be great . First place I come to for quality insight on the latest equipment. The Bonafide, Mantra and E100 are all great skis but you'll likely lose a bit of maneuverability because of the increased weight. Wish I could give you more info on the Sick Day 104, but I will say considering my experience with all these skis, I don't think it would be quite as playful as the QST. It goes from icy moguls to powdery troughs to firm groomers without missing a beat. SE (Jeff), Hi SE, Ski area: Lake Tahoe, CA, 10-15 days a season I'm 6'3" 235lb I am all mountain skiing mostly east coast , but 2 trips a year out west. Expert: Hands down, youre the best skier on the mountain. Regarding the QST 92, do you recommend the 177 cm or the 185 cm length? Buy the skis for the conditions you do ski versus the conditions you want to ski. I'm not a super charger who likes to go really fast all the time, but I enjoy pushing it hard a couple of turns. Have fun! SE, Hi SE. We're looking for your Mondo Point size, and the conversion is easy! Also is 180 a good length for what I'm trying to do? More weight means the skis will feel softer, and shorter. I felt like an Olympian (again in comparison) out there in the moguls, trees, and turns in general. If you're looking at two pairs, then I definitely think the 99 is a good option for your wider ski. Have fun! have fun! You want something stiff, but not overpowering that you can ski on all day, any day. I am so glad one of my colleagues told me about your reviews on YouTube, because they have inspired me to finally replace my 2012 Volkl Mantras. I currently ride a set of Volkl Deacon 76, and I love the speed and turning ability of themon groomed runs and ice. The Atomic Backland Bent Chetler was one of the most sought-after skis in this lineup. Thanks, Charibancho! On the high-performance end of the spectrum, the Blizzard Bonafide 97 hardly needs any introduction anymore. In the 183, this ski generates a 23-meter turn radius, so its one of the most direct skis that well see. I'd go 184. If youre truly an expert skier, you probably know it. 34% Off $725.00.

The Salomon QST 92 comes to mind right away. Check out the Rossignol Experience 94 and the K2 Pinnacle 95 for comparison. A ski for the people! Not a particularly strong skier technically but decent. In terms of versatility, the QST 99 can be described as a ski with a very even mix of performance characteristics for different terrain and snow conditions. My search has led me to the 2022 Salomon QST 98 (176 cm) and the 2022 Dynastar M-Pro 99 (178 cm). Hi Aryn! I mostly ski in the East but have recently started skiing more out West. I'm looking for something great in the powder that I can also ski on a groomer if need be. Line Sick Day 104, 17/18 Graphics. Hi Nicole! They're fantastic in fresh snow--they're on the heavier side, along with the QST, but they're not bulky or dull so the weight isn't really an issue. The Blizzard Rustler 10 is the natural progression from the Regulators. Cheers . Much like the previous Kastle MX 98 on this list, the Enforcer 100 absolutely demolishes crud and chopplowing through it like its not even there. I demo'd them again this year with the new M5. Looking for an all mountain powder capable ski(no park) and something that can handle the icy east coast. Let me know if there are some good options you might recommend. Was: $975.00. So you can measure yourself, or you can just check out our handy-dandy chart below. The Vantage 97 Ti shares a relatively similar shape to the Bonafide and M5 Mantra, but its construction is much more focused on weight savings than anything we've looked at so far. What do you think? This new construction delivers high-end vibration damping and stability, but allows the ski to flex more naturally right underfoot. No, theyre not park-exclusive, and thats one of the great things about them. I'm not generally carving groomed at really high speeds but need something that can handle all conditions for all mtn and then a suggestion for those deep days. SE. The skis on your list are very high-performance, and will certainly fit your personal skiing needs, they'll just be on the heavy side for kid skiing. I demo-ed the Blizzard Bonafide 180cm and Nordica Enforcer 100 185 cm this year, and of those two I really enjoyed the E100 for it's versatility. I'm looking for a recommendation on some powder skis. I am switching from Rossignol Scratch BCs from 10 years ago and demo'd the M5 Mantras yesterday and couldn't believe the ease in carving up groomers, but it's a much heavier ski than I'm used to. The Lift Line Blog; Shop similar items: Atomic Skis; Mens All Mountain Skis; . I'm leaning toward the M5 Mantra, but also like the QST99 and the 98TI.

Thanks so much for the reviews! Technical Specs . SE, Hi SE, I'm looking for a ski that will push my ability into a more advanced realm. Rossignol uses their damp tech rubber inserts in the tips and tails in order to quiet the skis down, and then to add a measure of power and grip, their titanal beam exists underfoot to give good edge grip as well as stability at speed. I'm looking at a bunch of skis in the 90-100 cm range. Your review of them was spot on. Looking for something that floats well, turns easily, stability, good in woods. Even the QST is potentially too light to really support your size and provide a confidence-inspiring feel. I also have Rosi S7 that are 115 under foot. My wife is still working up to the level of the kids. Ha! SoooooAtomic Chetler 100 and Blizzard Rustler 10 have come on my radar and I can get good deals on both right now. The Bent 110 is designed with HRZN . The all-new Atomic Maverick 100 Ti is a strong and powerful ski that takes over where the Vantage series of skis left off. Because of its stiffness, you should be at a relatively high ability level, it's a ski that rewards good technique. Armada describes this ski as a 1-ski quiver you can take anywhere from the resort to the backcountry, and we agree. On many windy East coast ski days, I'll ski both conditions in the same day and same run (firm & wind blown trails, but soft bumpy trees). Versus the outgoing 105, this new 102 is a bit less tapered, but with quite a bit more tip rise. Use: This is a question thats most relevant to advanced or expert skiers: Where are you skiing? It's not the most powerful ski and doesn't have the strongest torsional stiffness, but edge grip on really firm snow at speed definitely isn't the focus of this ski, that's why Atomic also has the Vantage 97 Ti. Adam, Hi, SE. I think the move from the Bonafide to the Rustler makes sense. Head is another company focusing on delivering high-end performance in a lightweight package. Add two sheets of metal and two fiberglass laminates to the mix, and youve got a great deal of power and energy in the ski. We usually pair skis of this caliber with either the Marker Griffon 13 or the Tyrolia Attack 13--both have strong performance. In wide-open bowls the day after a storm, were not sure theres a better ski out there. SE. Myself? Rossignol's Black Ops Sender Ti is worth a look as well, perhaps bridging the gap between the Rustler and Enforcer. Not a twin tip in the park world, but with freestyle influence, the Camox is a chameleon of a skihappy anywhere theres snow. The flex pattern is also one of the softest in this category, which really boosts the ski's forgiveness in variable snow conditions and tricky terrain.
