Ski Review: I will make it clear from the outset , I am an unashamed STOCKLI fan… There I’ve said it , but you know what , it’s only because I have a bias towards the best built , most reliably incredible Snowfeel , consistently top-end feeling Skis that are available . I was once again in Aspen for the month of January this year , and spent time Teaching and Guiding on a variety of Skis , all STOCKLI, but found myself on the Y’s more often than not . WOW awesome edge hold on the Groomers , and even on the Harder Snow that Colorado was unusually dealing with this year ( like last year unfortunately ) , hand down GS turns ripping across the hill , more grip than the 2012 Laser SC I reviewed last year , and better at speed which surprised me . It goes without saying the 85mm waist certainly bettered the SC off-piste , that’s a no-brainer , but better on the groomed ? That was unexpected . The Rossignol GPS App read to 146 km/h , 90mph , at Aspen Mountain , with the Y’s as stable as you like . Do they struggle ? , if there is an area where they are inferior to the SC and some others , it would be in the bumps . It’s not that they are too stiff or anything like that , it is more the mere fact that they are a wide ski at the tip and if you like to ski zipper line they can be a little unwieldly , something that is not surprise to those of you out there who ski shaped skis in the bumps . Another Ski I got this year the Rotor 84 , was far better in the bumps , but that’s another story ... ( review :) )

Great Ski , there’s no Ski like a STOCKLI ......

Cheers Fatty ...
