An expensive ski that is well made. I have a pair on order. I currently ski an Elan Ace SLX which is similar. Fun. Bumps and low depth powder are no issue. The Stockli is the same.
I personally would want something with a longer turn radius for the bumps. I'd worry these would feel a little too catchy. My favorite Stockli skis in the bumps are the Laser AX, AR, and Stormrider 88.
I think this ski should be also good for moguls. I talked to professional mogul skiers, normally they use very narrow ski under foot under 70mm for better grip on the edge, and very short ski for ease of turning. So if you get a 160cm ski. It can be very multi functional on groomed slope or moguls on slopes. Maybe just not very suitable for very powder snow. But most of the time, snow is hard.
Can you compare these Stockli's Laser SL 165 cm to WRT ST 162 cm? In that lenghts the skies have similar turn radius. Which would be less demanding and more practic for everyday use? Which would you recommend for someone who likes short turns and sometimes mid-turns?
The Laser SL is more demanding in terms of having a close to race room build. The WRT ST uses more carbon to energize the ski but it doesn't have as dense of a wood core as the SL. I'd say the ST has more to offer someone who likes short and mid-radius turns.
Not really anymore, Tom. I mean I guess you could, but they don't make anything with a twin tip anymore. Stormrider 88, 95, 102 could all handle a little bit of park skiing, but nothing switch.
I would definitely recommend finding a better demo skier
Could not agree more with you!
@Filip Kaszubowski What do you mean?? How does that relate to above comments?

How do you think these would perform in the bumps/moguls? If not well, any Stockli recommendations for aggressive bump skiing?

Any significant differences between this 2022 model and the earlier one to '21?
Nope, no difference.
I skied them in 10 cm of powder. No problem.

Are you sure about that?
Where you find this guy in orange jacket for demo😂
Thanks for the feedback!
This guy should have skied for less than 3 seasons.
Are there any stockli skis that can be used in the terrain park?
Not really anymore, Tom. I mean I guess you could, but they don't make anything with a twin tip anymore. Stormrider 88, 95, 102 could all handle a little bit of park skiing, but nothing switch.
