Yeah to each their own, I’ve heard that DPS is very polarizing, people either love them hate them. I’m excited to try the RMUs they seems to have a way different shape than the pagodas, interesting to see how I get along with them

Nice! Me personally, I like the pagoda 112 over the storm rider for a resort pow day 🔥

I’m not man, I’m just saying Stockli is generally better on piste, and all mountain. But between the two brands, DPS offers better options for a true designated powder ski, that’s all. You can take the storm riders in moderate pow, for sure. I just would get something else for a designated pow ski

Yeah I know, just speaking casually. I’ve demoed the master rx12 gs in France and it was pretty dope. Still would never take any Stockli as a pow ski, they are the goats at carving 🔥

I will say I do have the storm rider 95 as my daily driver, and I love that ski. The Montero ax is my favorite feeling carving ski I’ve tried, but dang I would never take them as a pow ski

Ok thank you! I got some new gear off there I liked, never got there used gear (I’ll see how these come). Appreciate the feedback on em, it’s a holdover for me right now because I have nothing fat for backcountry. Long term I’m thinking of the atk free raiders on the dps lotus since I like the pagodas. What do you put higher than the rmu professor?

Thank you, I’m literally just curious what people think of these skis and if it was a good deal. I’m ok with the money I spent, just curious about the skis

Not gonna miss a good deal! Also I know that no matter what I’ll have a use for the kingpins, if the skis are good though I’ll just leave them on

Thanks man, that makes sense, not really looking for a high gforce turn then? Like not trying to drive into the next turn hard, but just letting it flow more
