Stöckli Stormrider 95

The take
“I tried to find something wrong with this ski. Couldn't.”
Best-of-the-best all-mountain ski. I went into this test looking for something to criticize and came back without a list.
Stability is the standout — at speed, in chop, on hardpack, it just doesn't chatter. You can ski it as fast as you have the courage to and it'll keep up with you. Edge grip on hard snow is excellent. Energy out of the turn is good. Turn entry feels easy. Nothing about it feels heavy or sluggish, which is the trick — most skis this stable are also tanks. The Stormrider 95 isn't.
If you've been on the Nordica Enforcer 100, this is the next step up. Quieter, more controlled, more refined. Stöckli build quality shows.
It's not a park ski. Shape is directional. If you ski switch or butter, look elsewhere.
Other than that, the only fair complaint is what it costs. Just be ready to pay for it.

The Stormrider 95 is flat-mount (no integrated rail), so any standard alpine binding will work. Pick by DIN range and skier weight.
