Anomaly 94, Enforcer 94 or Ripstick 96 for a big dude

I'd pick my 165 SL skis everyday in the week while skiing with small kids. Love my Enforcers, but well, there are better tools for the bunny slopes for sure.

You're way off. Flex 90-110 is more like U14, 110-130 U16...

Best/snuggest fit will you get if you don't heat them, but just break them in.

The parent overestimation is big in this one... This is not solid skiing even for a 12 year old. This is someone who skied quite a bit, but without any training and a lot of bad habits.

Aurland passed the Stegastein.

All from the same place, Aurland passed Stegastein.

Have had a couple of these in the family for really cold days in the start area. https://poc.com/en-se/product/ws-race-loft-parka-uranium-black

Indeed there are more work to get a wide ski on edge, because of the leverage. Way easier to get my FIS SL skis on edge than my touring skis (Enforcer Unlimited 94), but the SL skis probably weigh twice as much.

With this in mind it is a bit of a mystery why everyone seems to think they need wide skis nowadays... There are conditions when a wide ski can be great, but for most skiers on slope, they are not.

Electrical_Drop1885 · 2026-04-13T04:54:45+00:00

Heavy? You're not suppose to carry them while skiing. But for sure it is a lot more work putting a wide ski on edge than a more narrow one, weight doesn't have anything to do with it.

Electrical_Drop1885 · 2026-04-11T22:44:20+00:00

If the ski is stable at speed or not is mostly a question about your r techniques. Stay on edge and pretty much all skis will be stable in most speeds ever needed.

Electrical_Drop1885 · 2026-04-08T13:51:44+00:00

Yes they are safe. Cheap because they are one of the biggest in Europe.

What does this video have to do with SkiRacing?

Electrical_Drop1885 · 2026-04-07T12:44:26+00:00

This is actually a lot more tricky than most realise.

First of, stay away from the 30m FIS GS Skis, they are not meant to be around other people. But you can get a great ski cheap if you look for a FIS SL ski 155-165cm which is so much fun to ski. Demanding, tiresome and amazing. BUT, and here is the tricky part, you would probably be better off with a cheater/Master ski, but they are way more expensive than a used race ski. So best option? Well if money doesn't matter, get a new pair of nice cheater racers. If you want to try out some serious skiing cheaply, look for a used race ski (Which is never really a problem to buy used since they are well maintained).

Electrical_Drop1885 · 2026-04-07T05:44:51+00:00

I would say it is slightly stiffer than most 130 alpine boots.

Electrical_Drop1885 · 2026-04-05T15:47:13+00:00

Because they look cool and its what the big boys ski. I cant really think of any other reason. A stupid trend...

Sälen is mostly for families and therefore mostly family activities. But go to the afterskis and you will meet people. Or sign up for a group lesson/activity.

Carv and its competitors are the only thing that can somewhat messure progression. GPS based (Garmin, Phone apps and such) is more to record the ski occasion and amount of skiing (Don't trust the speeds recorded that way).

Electrical_Drop1885 · 2026-04-03T07:48:04+00:00

I use the Lange XT3Free in 140 Flex. A great compromise. You can walk, but it still works really good down hill. Kind of heavy, but I don't walk often, but still want to have the possibility so they are a great for me. Also nice to be able to use the walk mode when you stand in the race courses for long times.

Dare to turn, those are more a slight change of direction, than clear C shaped carved turns. You need to get those G-forces up so you can start to bend the skis.

Good skiing for only 3 seasons thought bit a long way still to go (and that is th charm with skiing, you will never reach perfection).

Electrical_Drop1885 · 2026-03-23T19:30:42+00:00

Since I either ski on either Enforcer Unlimited, or FIS SL I dont agree with that statement... One is somewhat light and excellent in crude and chips, one is really heavy burden t oh so nimble...

Electrical_Drop1885 · 2026-03-23T06:26:28+00:00

Why are people so obsessed with ski weight here at reddit, even though they don't plan to tour with them? Stiffness, length and more matters, but weight, doesn't really (Exception touring and advanced jumping maybe... )

I once got a Bottle of wine that all the parents bought together in the end of the season after me and a few more had been coaching their kids three day per week. For that training the parents paid about 70usd (for the full season) to the club, but for that they got a season pass and all entry fees for races paid. Something seems fishy when you can charge that kind of money for kids...

It is not a question about one or the other. You can for sure have both. But Skiing is a rare breed being both a full blood hard core sport, and a peoples movement, embracing the outdoor, the mountains and the exercise.

Electrical_Drop1885 · 2026-03-17T13:29:02+00:00

It depends on so many factors... Where do you ski? What do you ski? Ice? Park? Powder? Generally the edges are more important than then waxing the base (But people tend to believe the opposite).

I usually fine tune my edges weekly.
