I mostly do blues and some blacks in the Sierras. But I'm not sure I love them -- you described their feel as 'surfy' which makes sense. This gives it a great feel on firm snow as you get full length edge contact, however the M5 Mantra is impressively maneuverable in softer snow conditions as well. I have been thinking of getting something new that might have a bit more float in pow and playfulness in the trees, but the one other ski I have tried to date (a one-day demo of faction candide 3.0s) felt edgeless and soft. .

They're both super-versatile and a ton of fun. How they can stand to be bend the way that they do and continue skiing is beyond me, but good for the engineers over at Line for figuring out how on earth to build a ski like this. It's versatile and playful and loves to hop and jump around, but you can also ski pretty darn aggressively and fast on it and it really doesn't become unstable. My friend who got me into skiing (my favorite activity now) didnt help me at all and said buy what you think looks cool, which I have come to realize was terrible advise. I'm currently on Dynastar Contact 10ST at 174cm, so ready for change. Have fun! HI Arthur! This gives the 102 more stability and power in a carved turn as well as a bit better flotation in fresh snow. My young kids enjoy going off piste and I do not like my skis on moguls or in trees. For skate skiing, poles should be a bit longer. But currently I'm looking for a one-ski quiver that will be maneuverable enough for some quick tight turns but will also let me float a bit in the soft stuff and hold a carving turn or two at mid-speed when required. Rossignol's Black Ops Sender Ti is worth a look as well, perhaps bridging the gap between the Rustler and Enforcer. Your boot sole length is the actual length of your ski boot, in millimeters. The question then would be what the right place to go might be. This, combined with the vertical sidewall underfoot tapering to half-cap in the tips and tails makes for an incredibly versatile ski that is properly built for the everyday advanced skier. I am a expert skier and looking to move to a new ski this year, after looking at your 2019 reviews I was thinking QST 99 or Nordica enforcer 100 or stick with bonifides? Hi SE, That shape does lead to a shorter-than-most turn radius, and it makes the ski snappy and agilecontributing to a higher level of fun and play out there on the hill. 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. I am looking for a ski that will progress with me as I push my skill level further between more off trail runs and improving on my mogul riding. Maybe the Salomon QST 99? Built with a poplar wood core and diago fiber mixed with fiberglass, these skis have a good amount of energy to them for sure. Granted most ski days don't follow such a storm cycle. I like them but they seem a bit light and chatter in harder pack snow. I do have a pair of lightly used K2 AMP-Rictors I would still use for cruising/carving in very firm snow conditions as the other ski. Im currently using 186 Blizzard Regulators. It's relatively lightweight and noticeably quick to maneuver, like the Sky, but it has better torsional stiffness, more stability at speed, and a longer effective edge because the rocker isn't quite as pronounced. Think I could use a little more direction as I havent bought a pair of new skis in 15 years and Im still trying to wrap my head around all of the new technology. Who it's For: Skiers that love soft snow and/or like to jump off stuff. This boosts its soft snow performance and helps the ski float in soft snow, despite only having a 95 mm waist.

If you like the traditional feel of a race ski but are in the mood for some freeriding, these skis should be at the top of your list. Any other ski worth looking into? You get a similar experience with the Rustler, but it feels a bit lighter-duty. They use their classic multi-layer wood core, a full sheet of titanal along the base of the ski, but the metal along the top of the ski is focused only along the edges of the ski and does not meet underfoot. The flex pattern and shape of the Pinnacle 95 Ti give it really good performance in soft snow. Performs really well on firm snow, but is also fairly capable in soft snow. I'm aggressive on-piste and more moderate off-piste, especially in narrower chutes and trees. We're about the same size, and I loved the stability of the ski, even without two sheets of metal. or Best Offer. I do love pure powder but I'm not as experienced in that yet, I think someday when I retire I'll buy a powder-dedicated ski for those times. These skis are very useful and utilitarian, but are also a whole lot of fun. I'm willing to give up a little of that speed on the groomers for something that I can turn /float a little while in powder. If you're looking for a strong-carving ski in that 100mm range, I'd check out the Volkl Mantra 102 and the Nordica Enforcer 100. Any advice on the skis and the lengths greatly appreciated! If you love the power and precision of a dual-metal laminate ski, but want something slightly easier to ski, the Maverick 100 Ti is a great choice. I live in Japan so no shortage of soft snow (but not guaranteed every day either) and have some Majesty Superior for big days and smash around the rest of the time on some Line 2016 Bacons. Ive been checking out the reviews of the Rustler 9 and 10 and think one of those could be a fit, as well. I've had to stay away from the mantra the past few years due to their lack of camber..is the 2019 M5 the year I should come back? The bad news, is that it can be a bit more difficult to do- but thats why were here. SE, Hi Dave, I'd recommend meeting somewhere in the middle with something like the Blizzard Rustler 9, Head Kore 93, or Salomon QST 92. If you're looking for a lighter ski that has a lot of different benefits, this is a great one. Combine this with the fact that the Enforcer 100 uses more rocker than anything we've talked about so far (50% total) and you've got a very smooth ski that stays stable on firm snow, holds an edge well, but also allows you to pivot and smear the ski. All that but still fun and capable of being opened up once I hit the groomers back to the chair. Looking to complement my 177cm Monster 83's with either a 186 or 191 Enforcer 100. I also really like the 4frnt msp 99s. The Rustler is stiff underfoot but has more accessible tips and tails. Whats your thoughts?

Based on your reviews, I'm thinking my next demo should maybe be the Enforcer 100, the Bonfide, the Mantra, or the Fischer 98 Ti -- or something else? As a replacement for the Menace 98, the M-Free 99 borrows more from the wider M-Free 108 than its outgoing twin-tip brethren. Maneuverable in soft snow, holds an edge on firm snow, it's a very versatile ski. This gives the ski an insane amount of stability and smoothness that is not found elsewhere in such a playful ski. Would the extra flotation of the rustler 10 or QST 99 not be worth the loss of edge hold/carving ability since Im primarily skiing frontside terrain? In addition, the skis have that rocker profile to help with the drifty aspect of the ski, and it ends up resulting in a shorter turn shape and a quicker and more agile quality. This is for high-performance skiers who know how, and like to, drive a ski and tell it what to do. The boot sole length is the literal length from toe to heel of that boot, measured in millimeters. Thanks, Thank you for the comment! So with that being said the list looks something like this: Armada Tracer 98, Atomic Bent Chetler 100, Salomon QST 93/99, Liberty Origin 96 and the Faction Prime 2.0. Eric, Hi Eric! My name's Jeff, I assume you were looking at the last person to leave a comment. The QST 92 should be at the top of your list, as should the Blizzard Rustler 9. I really like the versatility/profile of the enforcer 100, but I'm worried about all the weight. That ski essentially blends the performance of the Sky 7 and the Bonafide that you demoed. The Rustler is a bit more of a twin-tip shape, so the tail releases easier than the Pinnacle. I like the bumps but am also looking for a wide enough waist to do some powder without having to change skis. The lack of metal over the edges in the tail make the ski a bit more playful, but its still a business-like finish to the arc. Can you help? So I'm always teaching. This time, we're doing the same thing, but we're looking at 100 mm skis! I size up.

Even the QST is potentially too light to really support your size and provide a confidence-inspiring feel. I don't have a ton of powder experience. Blizzard rustler 9/10 I have demoed the Enforcer 100s our west and really liked them a lot! I like to ski mostly softer snow in the trees and moguls. That said, you don't have to be a park-style skier to enjoy it, it's kind of like a Ranger 98 Ti that's more focused on soft snow performance. Have you skied the Enforcer in the 193? Montana in December, Colorado in February, and a few trips to Mammoth and Tahoe throughout the year. Don't hesitate to give us a call at (877) 812-6710 and let us help you. Which do you think hold up best in terms of carving ability to the Rossi Experience 100? Black Crows Serpo 4. Any insight you can offer between these skis would be awesome! The skis I have been gravitating towards are as follows: 2020 - Blizzard Bonafides, Rustler 10s, Armada ARV 106 TIs, Ranger 98 TIs, Ranger 102s, Atomic Bent Chetler 100s, 2018-19 Kaslte 95 FX HPs. I think if you're on-piste more, I'd lean to the volkl. I'm 6 ft tall and 215 pounds. 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. 6'3" 200 pound mid-40s ex-racer & instructor here. From about the mid-body forward, the carbon nose starts as a central spine and widens to full-width in the shovel and tip. But perhaps Ive got enough weight to get the 184 Mantra to react just as well? The FX 95 HP is certainly worth a second look--high-end feel for sure. After a number of demos and research, I purchased the Rossignol Experience Ti 88s (173cm) earlier this season. You could go closer to 180 if you want to, but probably not necessary. Love your review videos. If you liked your old Bonafide, there's no real reason to switch it up, but I will say that the Enforcer is just as stable as the Bonafide, and is livelier and more playful. 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. It's entirely possible and very common for boots with the same Mondo Point to have different Boot Sole Lengths. Bonafide 97, Mantra 102, and Enforcer 100 are right up there in best of class in carving ability in this group. The Atomic Bent 100 is a do-everything freeride ski. It comes in a 187, and I don't think you'll overski it like the Pinnacle. While not groomer skis by any stretch, they do have some snap and pop to them on the corduroy. This boosts its soft snow performance and helps the ski float in soft snow, despite only having a 95 mm waist. From what Ive read on the two skis, the turning radius of the 177 Mantra is similar to the 185 Enforcer. Hope that helps! This gives the Rustler 10 more of a soft-snow focus, although it can still hold an edge on firm snow too thanks to that metal and the resulting torsional stiffness underfoot. In a lot of ways, the Bonafide is quite similar to the MX 99. Their Aeroshape design uses less overall material, while retaining high levels of torsional stiffness. Who it's For: Salomon added basalt and doubled the amount of carbon and flax in the QST 99 for 2019. While they've served me well, I feel I've outgrown them. Imperfections in the snow surface won't affect the performance of the Rustler 10 as much as a ski with stiffer tips and tails. So with that said what would you recommend for an old east cost bump skier who wants to soft it up and have quicker edge to edge? But I have not tried those skies jet. SE, How would you compare the M Free 99 to the Bent Chetler 100 and the Camex? I need to find a demo. SE, Hi SE! Seems like the Bonafides, M5 Mantras, and Enforcers should be on my short list. It uses their Ultra-Light wood core, which is supported by Innegra Mesh throughout the ski. -Tom, Thanks Tom!

I love the trees and the crud and attacking a line and avoid skiing on ice days. I do a lot of tree runs and love to find powder but I also love to rip groomers and charge more than carve on them. But for a mid to upper-90 underfoot ski, I love the Soul Rider! Ok, so maybe not the best, but you certainly could be a contendah, kid. That long tip rocker also helps smooth out turn initiation on firm snow, helping you to link carving turns. Long answer: You feel like a really good candidate for a Blizzard Rustler 9 or a Nordica Enforcer 93. 2021 Atomic Bent Chetler Junior Skis w/ Salomon N L7 Bindings | AA0028224K.

All over when it comes to terrain - bowls, trees, bumps from time to time, and on groomers just depends on the day between tighter turns and super g turns.

HI Hiserski! Then skis got wider. What skis do you think I should be considering? If you're looking for another choice, check out the K2 Pinnacle 95--very maneuverable and super-fun on the groomers. Question, why the Ranger 99ti and not the Ranger 102FR? I am (6', 205 53 year old), have been skiing off an on for 45 yrs. The last time I demoed E100 it was a 185 (previous generation). I am hoping to try a few things while I am out in big sky so I can finally and purchase something with confidence. Hope that helps! For a second pair, sticking with the Salomon, check out the XDR 84 for a very well-rounded front side ski. Rossignol is willing to give up some stability and vibration damping in this ski in exchange for maneuverability and forgiveness, which is a popular choice among skiers who like to spend most of their time off trail in the trees, moguls, etc. Should I just flip a coin or do you guys recommend one over the other for me. I just purchased the Ranger 102 as my soft snow resort / tree ski with the Masterblaster 96 as my firm snow ski. Intermediate: Congratulations! Yes, the Rustler 10 is likely a better floater in softer snow, but that's about it for performance benefits. It wasnt too long ago, after all, that a 102 mm underfoot ski would be considered an absolute boat, but now, the construction and shaping techniques are so good that 102s act like much narrower skisin a good way. The tip rocker profile is on the longer side, but theres not a whole lot of natural tail rocker up until the twin-tipped shape. For my curiosity, where would the Head Kore 93, presumably in 188, come in? You certainly don't "need" metal in your skis, but if you're a pretty aggressive guy I think you'll appreciate at least having some. Hi Tom! Have fun!
