Stöckli Laser GS FIS (2008)

Kitted out the British Telemark Team with these beasts this year and to a man they were much too stiff. I am 220lbs or 16 and a half stone and 6'1" skiing a 185cm. I had problems turning them unless on the steepest terrain or at speed. Yes, I know they are a racing ski and they should be turned at speed - however for telemark racing there is the 50/50 weight distribution so always one ski is less flexed than the other - result is that ski just continues its own straight line and you fall over! The radius is huge under the new FIS ruling and 27.0m is a total biatch to do on a tele course unless it is very open and wide - this is normally not the case.
