Stöckli Stormrider 85 review 2018

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

We've been keeping an eye on the remarkable progress Stöckli has made with its all mountain models for several seasons now. This year, the Swiss brand carries off the "best ski" awards in these categories, with a special mention for the excellent Stormrider 85. Easy to handle and tolerant, it responds to a touch and is extremely forgiving. Its versatility got warm praise from the reviewers: the ski is happy on all terrains, including rough snow and crud, where it stays extremely smooth. The perfect one-quiver ski, it adapts to all conditions and whatever choices a rider makes. Skiers can smoothly ride out wide slide turns, but can also take on steeper slopes thanks to the ski’s incredible energy and excellent grip. It’s the ideal All Mountain back tool for carefree cruising along the groomed trails or to wander off-piste when the conditions are right. Highly recommended by PROSKILAB for good to expert riders looking for a model that’s both energetic and versatile.

Manufacturer's remarks

The most versatile choice for ladies looking for a high-performing but light ski underfoot (Super Light Core construction). In short, a ski that’s equivalent to the 88. Incisive on the piste but incredibly happy in the powder.
