Laser SC

"Killer groomer ski, playful!"

"Better than last year. Great carving ski."

"Best at medium high speed, easy turn and good rebound"

"Wow! My favorite of prosumer race skis. I like how easy it is to modify turn radius."

Rotor TT 72

"Usual Stöckli feel. Actually quite similar to SC. Good edge hold. Intermediate to advanced."

"Seems narrow for a twin, but skis like a Stöckli."

"I'm not a real twin tip fan, but his ski skis well."

"High energy ride, but tail is a bit weak. Why a twin? No one seems to know."

A 'must demo' for sure.

Stormrider 78

This new model is a strong entry in a key segment and should do well with Stöckli skiers who love the front side.

"Quicker than the XXL, definitely different."

"Very quick edge to edge and stable at the same time."

"Quick fun, quicker than the XXL. This ski is good for anyone who wants to use it. Versatile."

"It zigs and zags and has plenty of GO!. I found nothing to dislike."

"Another excellent ski from Stöckli. Has the general solid and secure feeling of the Stormrider group. Damp, predictable, solid, balanced flex and responsive."

"Not an exact replacement for the XXL, but a good ski. Needs to be compared to skis like the Kästle MX 78 and it one of the best of those out there."

Stormrider LXL

This new ski was fairly well received by our skiers. While a couple of them commented that they would like to see an even more powerful female-specific ski, most agreed that the LXL hits the mark for an all mountain carver, equally at home on and off piste for less than all out aggressive skiers.

One described it as "an extremely lively turny carver," another found it good in crud and soft snow, not bad in bumps."

That is a solid range of versatility.

Stormrider 95

This category, 90-100mm early rise all-mountain/big mountain skis, should be important in 2012 and for many skiers, the essence of 1-ski-quiverhood. Stöckli's entry is among our skiers' favorites in the group.

"A smooth, responsive, powerful all mountain ski with modern early rise. Forgiving but authoritative turn entry."

"Solid, predictable, powerful; handles crud and powder. Feels like a Stormrider."

"This is the way a 95 should ski! Tremendous feedback allows you to make the ski be what you want it to be."

"Carved well, more manageable than some similar skis."

"Another Stöckli rocket ship!"

"Very quick edge to edge for a wide ski. Built like a linebacker, moves like a running back. Great float and surprising carve."

"I loved it. Strong skiers will love it. Damp. Load it up and have fun!"

"Anyone can ski this ski. Strong but easy. Wow!"

Stormrider 110 TT

"Top level big mountain powerhouse. Despite its size, it is manageable in places where precision is demanded."

"This is a great powder and big-mountain ski."
