I would describe me a as a good skier and I can go down all trails without issues. Still have questions? Sorry for the name confusion, I noticed right after I hit the submit button. I also tried the Bonafides when I was in Tahoe. Im a level 2 IASI ski instructor aged 22 weighing 90kg. I ski a variety of terrain, and Im looking for something I can take into bumps or trees, but that can also hold their own if I happen to luck into a powder day while on a trip out west. Thanks, Hi Se, Im 42 years old 6'2" 225 mostly ski midwest and east. Powder is likely the most common reason to adjust your ski size, but other specialties such as ski racing, park skiing, and moguls can all skew what size is proper for you. Great review! The bad news, is that it can be a bit more difficult to do- but thats why were here. Built with a poplar wood core and diago fiber mixed with fiberglass, these skis have a good amount of energy to them for sure. The Enforcer is certainly a lot more stiff and demanding than the BC 100, so take that into account when sizing. What ski to get Thanks! We like how they've put the camber back underfoot in the Mantra, it really makes the hard snow performance stand out once again. This is what used to be referred to as Expert until rocker skis came along and let experts go back to over head ski lengths. We had a lot of fun in the trees with these skis, as the HRZN tech in the tips combines with that cap build to make it agile and swift while remaining stable and powerful on more groomed terrain. Its not as rockered in the tail as some of the other skis on this list, and that adds to the strong finish of the arc. I just demoed the Mantra M5 184cm at Park City. I am 183cm and about 70kg and do like to ski fast both on and off piste. Demo'd sizes were a 182 (too small) and 188 which felt good but on the Enforcer idk if I would go 193 or 185?? The Rustler 10 has metal underfoot that tapers towards the tip and tail of the ski, so it feels more stout underfoot, but since you don't ski terribly fast, you might not need that metal. We cannot guarantee mounting if your BSL is provided after the original order is placed. So there might be some powder, some crud, or the moguls might get skied out to become fairly icy; there's only so much soft stuff one gets to see inbounds during a holiday week. I am looking for a ski which I can use 50/50 on- and off-piste. I have a good level on groomers but I often get bored and want to go more into trees, powder, and learn new tricks in the park. Hope that helps! At your weight, I think you can rule out the Bent Chetler, as it's a little too soft flexing for someone your size. Hey guys, Weight: Theres no easy way to say it, but skiers who are carrying around a bit of extra weight should consider staying to the higher side of the scale. 1 for deep powder days in resort and 1 for all mtn. These skis are very useful and utilitarian, but are also a whole lot of fun. I'm aggressive on-piste and more moderate off-piste, especially in narrower chutes and trees. Its focus is arguably more on firm snow performance than soft snow, although with its 99 mm waist width it will let a skier take their carving turns from firm snow to mixed snow conditions, softer snow, crud, and just about anything else. This guide is for Alpine Skis. Higher camber, lighter weight, and a ton of fun. Due to it having two sheets of metal, the Enforcer would be a big change from the Sky 7's. Unfortunately we don't really have access to Line skis right now, with the exception of big industry demos and other events like that. Really good content on the YouTube channel as well! Versatility, Well-Roundedness, Everything. The metal over the edges in the forebody of the ski makes it precise and reactivewhen you tip the ski on edge, it really initiates nicely and pulls you through the turn. You have some great skis on your list! For you and your application, I'd lean to the Atomic. Thanks a lot. Ski Expert. on occasion as that's mostly what the east has to offer. Think I need something stiffer. I'm really torn between the Bent Chetler 100 (180cm) and the Sick Day 104 (179 or 186cm) for a 50/50 one ski quiver mounted with Shifts to be used mostly in the French Alps. The Kore is stiff and light, and I suspect you'll find the same "bouncing" feeling that you get from the E88. Does that make sense? Trying to decide between the BC 100 and QST 98 and Im torn. I am an advanced skier (5'10'', 170-ish, 31yrs) who spends 95% of my time skiing the North-East. For skate skiing, poles should be a bit longer. So, while I like those two skis a lot, you already know you like the QST feel, and I'm not convinced you'd like either of those skis more. Thank you for all the great accessible information. Thanks for the response! No longer is the Bent Chetler brand synonymous only with playful powder skis, the whole Bent lineup is welcome anywhere on the mountain there's room for a freestyle mindset. They're all pretty maneuverable, and if you didn't like the metallic nature of the M5, you'll probably like these more. Enforcer 104 the heaviest of the group but decent tail rocker and nice flex that's money for bumps and trees. I just imagine the M5 would feel like a lot of ski when skiing slowly, and it's also not the most maneuverable ski in trees. Hope that helps! Hope that helps! It's light enough so that you can handle the longer ski, I'd think. Hope that helps! If the number you see has a decimal, then youre probably looking at your Mondo Point size which isnt accurate enough to use when mounting bindings. Kyle, Hi Josh! For more stability at speed, that does come at the price of weight, the QST is a great ski for sure. HI Brent! (re: my question below) So to summarize, with the two models you mentioned in the 90mm-class and in the mid-180s, we'd be talking about an Enforcer 93 in 185 or a Rustler 9 in 188, right? Chances are if youre the type of skier who typically skis with a ski-mentor or a friend whos job it is to get you down the mountain. Eric, Hi Eric!

SE, I love the trees and the crud and attacking a line and avoid skiing on ice days. My wife is still working up to the level of the kids. I would say that my ski style is somewhat hoppy - I like quick turns in the trees/moguls and short radius back/forth carving on the more open areas. Thinking 100 under foot but maybe thats the problem. Hey SE. I am super-impressed with the versatility of that ski from moguls to trees and groomers and powder. I appreciate fun/quick maneuverability, lightweight, but also carving ability especially in the east. It retains good torsional stiffness and stability when you've got the ski up on edge, while resulting in a lighter weight overall. I just sold my Bonafides and I am looking for something more playful. Is there much difference between these two sizes? Like the Bonafide, it uses tip and tail rocker and some early taper, but both are quite subtle. Now I'm confused, I'm looking for a ski like the Kore that will absorb the big blows in chopped up snow, vs throwing me. View the Atomic Bent Product Line View all Atomic All-Mountain Wide Skis.

Tried some Kore 99's the next day, much better ski for me in the chop but not as agile in tight spots as I might like. Performs really well on firm snow, but is also fairly capable in soft snow. Who it's For: Similar to the MX 99, you should be a relatively aggressive skier who is comfortable driving a ski. $226.06. Because it's lighter, it will get deflected more than heavier skis. I've been devouring your videos and ski tests since I discovered them while shopping for new skis; you provide a fantastic resource for those of us who don't have the opportunity to demo everything! I plan a trip or two out west (Utah for sure) this year and possibly an excursion into New England. This is what used to be referred to as Expert until rocker skis came along and let experts go back to over head ski lengths. For bindings, you shouldn't have any trouble with the Griffon. That gives the Enforcer 100 excellent vibration damping and stability, but because the metal is thinner it softens up the flex a little bit from tip to tail. Snow conditions weren't the best, but found them nimble in the trees. It's not an overly stiff ski, and I think would perform really well for what you're looking to do. Hi Nick! Additionally, the metal layers used in the Enforcer are thinner than those in the Bonafide, so although you get the damping, you don't quite get the same stiffness. Hi Dave! I consider myself a strong intermediate skier on the edge of advanced. Now, to skis. And should I stay around 90 or go with 100? Atomic Bent Chetler 100s vs. Salomon QST 99 I'm on the search for some all mountain skis to fill the void of not skiing during the summer months. I like the extra stability on groomers, and with 102mm waist widths, the extra length allows me to use these skis in light powder on those rare East Coast days. Out West, where things are a bit more open, its not uncommon to see skiers on skis much taller than themselves. It just wants to carve clean and round turns with stability and power, and were all about it. Thanks!

Skill wise, youll be able to control your speed with snowplowing, wedging, or forming a pizza. I think if you're on-piste more, I'd lean to the volkl. Check it out!

I'm riding the 2013 Line Prophet 90's today. Ha! After being a Snowboarder the last 20 years this year I will "have to" get back to skis to teach my kids skiing. A versatile one-ski quiver on the wider end, the Armada Declivity 102 shouldnt be overlooked on any advanced or expert skiers list. I ski fast and hard on groomers, I get in the woods any time there is snow available, also hit moguls frequently. My young kids enjoy going off piste and I do not like my skis on moguls or in trees. I sometime borrow my sons Salomon X-Drive 8.0 Ti. Rather fit for a fat old man. Over their three seasons I've progressed from blues and some blacks thrown in to doing mostly the ungroomed blacks and double-blacks; it's all in bounds, and while mogul runs all day got a lot better, I'm still having trouble with tight trees and powder. Glad to hear you've got some new boots that are working well for you! This gives the ski a more playful personality, especially in bumps and trees. Most intermediate skiers will be tempted to wander off trail, but may not be brave enough quite yet. Like the Ranger 99, the Kore gets narrower underfoot as the sizes decrease below 177 (and slightly wider in the 184 and 191), so take that into account in your decision-making process. What would your recommend? Hi there. Luke Koppa on the Line Sick Day 104, Telluride Ski Resort, CO. (photo by Patrick Sinnott) . The Kore, in my opinion, feels more focused on off-piste maneuverability than anything else. I like carving fat turns, and fear moguls. If the box is left blank, the skis and bindings will be sent separately and unmounted. Love your videos, you all seem like people who really ski. And other skis you would recommend to look at. I have loved these skis for their ability to bust through crud, carve up wind-buffed pow, and of course lay it down at high speed on groomers to get the legs warm. For modern skis with kids, those lengths are certainly prohibitive. Between the 92 and 99, the 99 has basalt in it as its damping agent, so you're getting more power out of that one. Fits well! And finally, how firm--I've currently got, so to speak, half a layer of titanal in my skis, so two layers seems a bit much, but I've never tried it. Thanks Im 165 pounds and 510 and ski mostly at the resort (groomers and off groomers) at Mount bachelor.

Like I mentioned above I am skiing 176 cm ski but am wondering if that might be too long or if it is just the ski I am on currently. SE. Both in that mid-90's range with some tip and tail rocker, so you get good flotation when it snows, but are still great carvers on trail. SE.

The Blizzard Rustler 10 is the natural progression from the Regulators. As well as fast skiing stability and all mountain coverage, Im also looking for manoeuvrability for bumps and tight terrain. This new construction delivers high-end vibration damping and stability, but allows the ski to flex more naturally right underfoot. One of them is the Nordica Enforcer 88, which is stiffer and more responsive than the 93, and is a fantastic all-mountain performer. Any advice is appreciated and thanks again for the great reviews!

I'm 6' 170 lbs and I'm + Intermediate to Advanced. The Rustler is a bit more of a twin-tip shape, so the tail releases easier than the Pinnacle. The sick days are harder charging than the sick days.

Its ability to transition through different snow conditions is perhaps its most impressive attribute. Not a particularly strong skier technically but decent.

Not quite the waist deep powder ski of it's big brother but a fully capable freeride or possible touring ski that can handle its own in the backcountry. What ski would you recommend? The Enforcer 100 is arguably a little more versatile in terms of an even mix of performance characteristics. Their blend of Graphene, Koroyd, carbon, and karuba wood results in a ski that is not only unique in its construction, but also impressively stiff for how light it is. I used to be expert and haven't skied a lot the last few years. I'm in western Canada, so I ski Banff, Lake Louise, Kicking Horse. At 94 mm underfoot at 180 cm length, it's not that narrow, but it still has great edge grip, especially underfoot. -Tom, Thanks Tom! Yea I did.

Then rocker technology came along, and, long story short, theres way more room for preference and interpretation than ever before. I usually ski bowls, trees, moguls, etc, but will find myself on groomers, run-outs, etc. Any help on the SD 104 or advice on a ski? You sound like a QST skier to me. They just also have that low gear that you need for skiing with kids.
