Stöckli Scale Delta review 2018

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

With 83 mm underfoot, Stöckli's Scale Delta is extremely versatile. Its progressive flex and width at the waist mean that it performs well on all terrains. Snow contact is excellent. The ski couldn’t care less about choppy snow and cuts through irregular terrain like butter. After a few turns, you quickly realize that the Scale Delta responds to a touch and is incredibly tolerant and docile. Turn initiation is intuitive, and steering is reliable and reassuring. Pushed to its limits at high speed, the ski remains cool, holding tight to its trajectory. "Pure bliss!" one of the reviewers beamed. On the other hand, it falls a little short on hard pack where pressure is less incisive, especially compared to the Dynastar or the Nordica. Compared to an ordinary ski, the Scale Delta is a bit like a luxury 4-wheel drive in relation to a standard car: easy to drive, versatile, fast, comfortable ...and expensive! At €900 euros the pair of skis alone, it’s certainly not for everyone. Nonetheless, it’s an excellent product that we recommend for riders looking for both the versatility of an all mountain ski and the performance of a sk for the groomed runs.

Manufacturer's remarks

Between 81 and 84 mm underfoot, the Delta is the widest of the Scale range (All Mountain line). Its relatively short radius allows riders to slice turns as easily as a piste ski. With its "Powder Rocker" technology, it’s glides incredibly easily over fresh powder. It’s a truly versatile tool that demands a bit of physical effort for pure groomed runs.
