    Pretty stoked to try these out. I may need to swap the brakes to a 95mm width. Took the binders off some fatties.

      Think I'm going to get me some of these 105s from 2019. Have a spot in the quiver between the 187 MX98s and 191 Lhasa Fats that this should fill nicely. For the wind affected, some new snow, most mid winter days at Jackson. Want something that can slip turns in steeps and variable snow but be stable enough to race the tram. Am I on the right track? Looks like a lot of tip rocker, these 186s long enough?

      Edit: lots of folks use the BMX 105 for this but more recently the ZX 108, Peak 104 or 110, Blank. But there Stockli is calling me

        ^^^There’s not a lot of tip rise in them - contact point is over the k in the logo.

        I’ve love mine on everything from soft groomers to 6” plus of med-density maritime pow. Like a Ferrari mated with a Kenworth - fast, solid and damp. They hammer thru crud and are a gas to rail groomers. Just stay in the front seat…

        They don’t like firm snow

          Thanks. Can anyone compare the 2021 105s to the 2019 ones? The new ones got some more tip/rail rocker with less metal and lighter it looks like? They still handle windbuff and crud?

                You’ll love them. They’re baller but still pretty dang maneuverable if you stay forward with a good athletic stance. I’ve got about 8-10 days on them. And, I’ve found them pretty good on melt freeze hardpack as well as good in powder, so far up to 9”. The 186 doesn’t feel short with that mount point where it is. I’ve put my 194 Black Crows Animas next to them, when lining up the mount point, it’s pretty much the same length tips, just the tails end where the Animas start to rocker up. So it’s about the same effective ski length at those 194s. I’ve yet to find a top speed on them, and I doubt I ever will. They were pretty awesome blasting through some sun thickened chop at the end of a powder day yesterday. I really shouldn’t speak so highly of them so I can horde them.

                  Plaid tops were the best ones - SR95/105 MHO. Bought a new pair of 95's last season (blue topsheets), skied them a day and sold them.

                    What didn’t you like about last years?

                        Well the 2019 SR 105 is a sweet ski. Have three days on them in hard and somewhat soft snow. Boy it is fun to rail gs turns through soft snow. Mine are mounted for 29.5 on the line with new STH2s which looked to be a little more that 12.5 back from center. I really wanted to try these but was concerned they'd be a little short for a tram ski here at JH (I'm 6-4), and I think that is the case. Thinking they won't make it into the quiver for next year so want to see if anyone else would like them for a good deal. Otherwise I'll put in gear swap next pre-season. I prepped the bases like skis this caliber deserve and they are absolutely minty. Not a scratch that I can see. PM me if you are interested and we can work something out.

                          The SR95 from last year - the metallic blue ones - were lighter, tips softer, and got bounced around in the chop. Also felt like they skied a bit shorter too. subtle differences from the plaid tops, but enough that I didnt really see the need for them, since the plaid ones had some life left.

                          They did look incredible with gold pivot 15's

                          Had the red, plaid top 115's too. very nice ski. was a shame to have them here in NC and not getting skied to death - so I sold those as well.

                            If anyone's interested, these new-old stock Stockli SR 95 bitches are on sale at Wolfy. Still in original plastic wrap.

                            Length is 192, which is likely why they're there for so long.

                            You likely? Send me the funds to buy and ship, and I'll get them to you, stat. The store is only open Fri-Sun, so it's a relative "stat".
