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

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?

One of you guys needs to buy the 192 Stormrider 95s I have for sale in gear swap

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.Quote:

What didn’t you like about last years?Quote:

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.Quote:

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".

They'll let me have the skis I posted above for $300.
You can buy direct from the shop (Fri-Sun), and I'll still pick 'em up and ship to you.
Or, if you're in Colorado, we can meet the next time I hook up with SheRa to ski Copper or Loveland, or something.
Mine are 192 mounted with px12 for 305bsl @ +2. They are in excellent shape but have 3 mounts. $150 plus ship from SLC
Those are too big for me. I'm skiing a 179, and it's about as much as I want.

I may have found a pair of the plaid 2019 SR105s in a 186 and am wondering about mount point. I use boots with lots of forward lean and more often than not want to move bindings back on my skis, but the rec someone listed of -12.5cm does seem quite far back. Any reservations going on the line for these?
Also, I should have mentioned, skiessentials.com has a handful of pairs for cheap! The morning has happened on the east coast and they haven't cancelled my $350+tax+free shipping stormrider.
I’ve skied all my stocklis on the line or slightly behind.Quote:

Big mistake, so back to the rec line I went. Not in my full time rotation but a great ride. So quiet of course. They are wide gs skis. No speed limit. Love them in spring slush.Quote:

I mounted mine on the line, with Pivots and Cochise 130 boots at 13degree lean, and love the line. There’s enough taper in the tip that it doesn’t seem too far back. Carves great on the line and can still pivot turn off piste when desired if you aren’t back seat.Quote:

I end up missing having a damp trad tip of a ski to "feel" out the mush piles in variable snow or low viz before just slamming into them with a heavily rockered ski, also in very settled old pow I miss having a shorter tail to sink down into the snow. These seem to check all those boxes.
You made a wise choice, I’d agree that it checks all those boxes. And, you saved me from buying a second pair to keep in the wrapper and having to explain to the wife why I needed skis I didn’t plan on skiing for a few seasons. You got a hella deal on them. I think of it a lot like my Mpro 105s but with a tighter sidecut and more fun in the bumps.Quote:

Need these gone within a week.
I haven't tried the 105's but briefly owned some 2017 183 Stormrider 107's for similar reasons fwiw. (the 105 replaced the 107 in 2018). I liked them, especially in softer crud/powder but I found I preferred my MX98s in almost every condition. Both skis were smooth but had different snow feel. Like a lot of modern Stormriders, the tips were too soft for me too. The Stocklis were just not very rewarding, especially on groomed or skied off sections. They did have demo bindings which undoubtably had an effect but they allowed me to use the 105's three-mount-point system. I've tried to slot several skis in the 105-108 slot but have pretty much given up on it.Quote:

I'm considering an upgrade...
I like the stormriders for night skiing at Skibowl upper bowl. It rains during the day and freezes during the night. The "giant metal skis" obliterate the chop, tho, so sometimes I'm the only one up there, and I like that.
Obligatory pic, right? Excuse how effed up they are. My baby girls are waterlogged to shit and hanging by a thread.
After I snapped one, I JB welded it back together and tried to sand them into mirrors for a wall decoration... but then I just kept skiing them instead [emoji51]
All things considered, they honestly still ski kinda great, and I'm just chillin' having fun, so I'm not really having any problems. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4b71a5de66.jpg
