Hello, I’m hesitating among this one, the Nordica Steadfast 85, Fischer get curv 85 or Stockli Montero AR. I ski on piste, any slope but style is not my best since I learned when I was 29, I’m 38 now. I look for a ski that adapt to different snow conditions and that will allow me to progress over the next years since I will be skiing a bit more. Also, it it is important to me that it is stable at high speeds. Right now I was skiing around 8 to 10 times a year. Thanks in advance.
It's not like the 82 is a better carver, it's just quicker and more reactive. The Peregrine 82 is undoubtedly a safe bet, however if you're looking for something that really stands out as a frontside ski, especially from an M6, I'd go a bit narrower and more race-oriented. Nordica Spitfire 74, Atomic Redster Q9, or Peregrine 76 stand out to me as higher performance options than the Peregrine. There's nothing wrong with the Peregrine 82, but if you're looking for true and pure frontside, I'd at least look at this list of mid-70's skis.
It's a marginal change--the straighter cut, lower profile, and more sophisticated radius make the Peregrine more agile and smooth, but perhaps not more powerful or carvy.
Thanks for the best reviews! I'm quite interested in the Peregrine 82. I was skiing 1st. gen. Brahma 88 in length 180 and then Mantra 5 in 177. Absolutely loved them both. I´m 6'2" and 175 pounds. Would I pick a similar length in the Peregrine?
I’m planning to buy a new pair of skis. I usually ski during the Christmas season in the Italian Alps, mainly on groomed slopes. I generally feel comfortable skiing, but I tend to feel a bit unstable and unsure when the conditions become slushy or icy. Currently i ski on old 76mm carving skies from my father but want to go a bit wider for more stability. I also enjoy skiing fast when conditions allow. The terrain often shifts between firm, slushy, and icy. I’m 193 cm tall. I thought that piste-oriented all-mountain skies might suit me, so after a lot of research I came down to 3 skies that I thing could work out for me, the peregrine 80 & 82 and the dancer faction 1. What do you guys recommend ? I personally think that the dancer 1 skies would be better because the seem to be more forgiving and comfortable, whilst the peregrine skis seem to be more for advanced & better skiers
Is this wide frontside ski ranking correct for an experienced carver ? : 1st choice : Head Supershape Titan 2nd choice : Volkl Peregrine 82 3rd choice : Rossignol Arcade 84 What would be your top 3 carving ski models ?
I personally prefer the Peregrine 80 in the bumps but the 82 works just fine--it's a bit heavier and not as peppy as the 80 but still goes great, just requires a bit more attention and engagement on the skier's behalf.
@@SkiEssentials Thank you, I would love to see how this compares to the peregrine 80 but also the declivity 82ti and the Anomoly 84. looking for a ski the is good in the bumps but has good grip on groomed that can handle high speeds. I have the BlackCrows divus but it doesn't handle the hard snow as much as I would like, but is fun in the bumps.
Keeping in mind that the Peregrine V.Werks is simply a re-named Deacon V.Werks from years past, it is now more different than it was when it was Deacon 84. The Peregrine 82 has a straighter shape and more of a fall-line mentality while the V.Werks is an incredible ski when it comes to connecting the edges of the trail. Because it's straighter, I also find that it's more amenable to different turn shapes and styles while the V.Werks excels in more rounded arcs. Peregrine 82 also feels denser, stiffer, and more stable at speed.

This 82 is a nice place to be. I also think the Steadfast is a special ski with good stability and versatility.
If I love how the M6 carves but I'm missing a more frontside focused ski, would this Peregrine be a safe bet?

@@SkiEssentials Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into those as well!
Is it a huge change from the Deacon series, as in enough of a change to jump from a Deacon to a Peregrine? Great review!

I think the 177 in the Peregrine makes sense here.

It is easier to ski the Dancer 1 in its intended application. I'd think that's going to align better with your application and level.
Is this wide frontside ski ranking correct for an experienced carver ? :
1st choice : Head Supershape Titan
2nd choice : Volkl Peregrine 82
3rd choice : Rossignol Arcade 84
What would be your top 3 carving ski models ?
Looks good to me! In the wide frontside genre, I think my list would be
1. Stockli Montero AX
2. Kastle MX 84
3. Elan Wingman 86 CTi
How does this do in the bumps?
I personally prefer the Peregrine 80 in the bumps but the 82 works just fine--it's a bit heavier and not as peppy as the 80 but still goes great, just requires a bit more attention and engagement on the skier's behalf.

Hey guys. At the risk of splitting hairs, is it fair to assume the Deac 84 w/b a better deeper snow ski than the Peregrine 82 ? Thanks
You could say that. It's wider overall and with a similar rocker profile. It's also fair to assume that neither are particularly good in deeper snow.
How would the ski compare to the V-Werks version?
Keeping in mind that the Peregrine V.Werks is simply a re-named Deacon V.Werks from years past, it is now more different than it was when it was Deacon 84. The Peregrine 82 has a straighter shape and more of a fall-line mentality while the V.Werks is an incredible ski when it comes to connecting the edges of the trail.

@@SkiEssentials Thanks for your swift answer 🙂
43M, a solid 5’9” at 185. Advanced, but closer to intermediate than expert.
172 or 177?
Thanks, guys!
I'd go 172--no real need to go over head high on these skis. Have fun!
Does the tail hold on more than a kendo?
Peregrine's tail is a bit crisper, but not more powerful. Depends on skier type and snow type.
