I have yet to meet someone who owned a pair who did not love them--I love mine, but I doubt their race skis are what you're looking for (did you say which ones you want?).
most questions are answered pretty quickly in tech talk, especially if you search before you post.
here all you are going to get is a bunch of shit.
and yeah, stocklis suck. i never had any fun on a pair of 201 asteroids.
Allow me to exercise the crown of Stockli Fanboy bestowed upon me by the estimable phUnk.
Stocklis r00l. I've been hammer a pair of Asteroids for 5 years now. Best ski I've ever had for PNW constant pow/crud conditions. And they're bomber: I've hit rocks galore, 20+ basewelds and the things still hold together. Yeah, so telemonster cracked the sidewalls on his 201s, but that guy blows up everything.
Pluses: does everything: pow, bumps, groimers, crud. 94mm underfoot and 122 tip provides the float, torsionally and longitudinally stiff.
Minuses: The stiff flex does preclude tip float in the super light CO fluff.
Buy them.
that's enough for me with everything else I've "searched" and found. Just wanted a few general feed backs.
thanks and since i rarely post tech talk shit, even though i'm in there enough, i wasn't sure of the response time and i needed to do this now. I figured I'd get the general shit interspersed with useful facts....nevertheless.
ordered-- the fry's.
Wait, Buster sold a pair of Stocklis? Now I'm disillusioned.
Actually, now I remember the thread in which he offered them, tearfully, for sale.
Yes, twisted, but true. As I slide into a geriatric stupor, swaddled in Depends and sucking on my LSD lollipop, I've had to acknowledge that the acl and meniscus tear of K00kw00d, 2001 has had a life changing effect on my skiing.Quote:

And you, Dex of all peeps, better show up to celebrate it. Foggy, Frigidwizzle and Pinnoir too.
late addition, but whatever
I have loved my Stocklis, have a pair of the XLs from last year, and just got a pair of this years (silver) DP's... They are sick... I even went small (174) and they are freaking money...
Stockli makes the skis good.
I had a pair of asteroids....man ski for sure
Stocklis are great skis. Period. Last two season DP's (Black) and the original XL's (red white blue flames) are some of the finest skis ever. Hand built, race/pro stock available to the public. BTW, skied Crystal all day yesterday on 03/04 Asteriods and they kicked ass. Fast, quick edge to edge and consistant through all the variations of snow.
stockli has a good product, minus the sidewall. i say that because if you ski them as hard as intended, you'll also be minus a sidewall or two. i don't know too many people that actually ski off the groomers with all four sidewalls left on these skis. don't expect stockli to warranty anything either. pilot error is a common term around their office.
they're a great ski but use them lightly.
Not my experience at all. Then again, I'm a granny groimer type.Quote:

FWIW, my Stockli GSers have taken some landings that were the equivalent (or worse--dropping 15 feet to flat ice) of what blew the sidewalls (and injured me) of my old GS skis, and they've been fine (I kept getting injured, though. I think I need better sidewalls--and ACL's).
And they rail.
I actually have to back this up, despite my allegiance to the skis. I freaking love their skis, however have had a couple of issues with my XL's... Two seasons ago I bent the tail on one, which I barely got replaced after about 4 months of whining, and then last year I blew out a sidewall on the new pair. Those were replaced as well... All that said, they are the best skis I have been on, and just got a pair of the new DP's and so far they are phenomenal. Customer service was a little tough, but all said and done I cant complain as I did get new ones...Quote:

Stockli's flat ass fly.
if you're talking about me, i get my info from my own eyes. i ski 194 ss pros that still have 3 sidewalls. i retired them for 1/2 a season as did most of those that ski them in lcc. the sidewall issue isn't much of a secret. i've seen many sets of asteroids with blown sidewalls. the only other ski w/ a similar track record is the gotama and they've replaced all the ones blown that i've heard of.Quote:

so whater you all mounting to em....
not ever sure why i'm asking this shit as my minds pretty made up but i do value the opinion of you humps.
HUMPS? You from Wisconsin by chance???Quote:

This years DP's are considerably lighter than last years, although they are a totally different ski. I still prefer last years.Quote:

to speak to APD's sidewall issues,
i am a big dude ( 225lbs) and am on my 3rd season on my SS pros as my main resort set up.
I dont ski "light" and have taken some shots underfoot near the edge on both skis that my main tech guy ( Sam, a lot of you BCCers know him) has always remarked he could not believe Ididna tear out the edge or compress the sidewall in some of the big hits I took.
fwiw I have destroyed 3 pairs of atomics and a pair of Evoloutions in the last 5 years.
I am with Msr Highman on the timexness of the stocklis.
I'm with APD on this one. I had some DP's (the orange ones), and also blew the sidewalls on both skis. Noone i spoke to when i was looking for new ski's seemed suprised. They were all of the opinion that that's a major problem with Stockli skis.
They were incredible ski's but i don't think i'd buy Stockli again.
Thanks for the info.Quote:
