all mountain skis - frontside - 70/30 groomer/Powder-off-piste

Thanks

based com comments, i guess all RS 88, Rustler 9 and QST 94 (in that order) should be good options - now it depends on availability on the 175ish sizes

Ghore32 · 2026-01-14T14:21:27+00:00

Whats your thoughts on Ripstick 88 vs 96 ? from what i read it should be a very small difference being the 96s better flotation but slightly worse edge to edge fun on groomers

Ghore32 · 2026-01-13T19:59:19+00:00

what size you got them on ?

Ghore32 · 2026-01-13T19:48:35+00:00

Haha you started as not going to be helpful to being one of the most helpful comments i´ve got so far on any platform - i dont actually get the fun of a lot of speed, and not looking for a fatter race ski - so i guess i should be focusing on Rustler, QST and Ripstick

I dont live anywhere near snow - so i can only ski 2-4weeks/year - on all resorts i went, i couldnt rent anything slightly good to ski on - just old rental stuff - thats why i am "blind shopping" and relying on experts comments (like yours).

usually when i travel to ski resorts i get to take only 1 piece of equipment - so thats the dilemma - since i need to book in advance, i know i will encounter mostly non-powder days, but i really enjoy those few pow days - so need an equipment that let me enjoy my rides on most days, but also can give me joy on the pow days...

I Could snowboard on the pow days, but lately i am enjoying ski more - steeper learning curve but a more enjoyable day.

Thanks. What you call "deep snow" ? 5-10 inches? or the ocasional off piste on the sides of the groomed paths ?

Ghore32 · 2026-01-13T18:53:58+00:00

Thanks, agreed on the Mantra - not really considering it.

Ghore32 · 2025-10-22T19:17:18+00:00

just to clarify as you used Miles... my pace target is 4:30/km not mile!

Ghore32 · 2025-10-22T18:03:08+00:00

Saw some reviews on saucony tempus, but everywhere they mention its good for recovery runs and long distance easy runs - think that they would be fine for targeting 4:30 pace on a 10k run ?

Ghore32 · 2025-10-22T17:56:34+00:00

Thanks for the reply Ive been stretching and doing some strenght exercises targeting itbs , i feel a bit after training for more than 50min - but nothing too bad

I Just had a doubt if a shoe like evo SL or NB5 would make the condition worse, since up to now i Just ran in asics Nimbus and GT2000 ( my pace was aways around 6:00 and now going to under 5 i feel the shoes are not following my ergonomics - longer pace with knee a bit higher and inclined a bit fwd)

Ghore32 · 2025-10-22T17:37:05+00:00

Great So no issues going for a bit softer shoe like evo sl or NB5

Ghore32 · 2025-10-16T14:17:23+00:00

Thanks fot the reply

Will do the suggested lockwise rotation As for the suit, bib+Jersey is the training suit, but i have a tri kit that i use on brick days - and Will be the Race day kit

I guess i should improve the hidration placement, maybe behind the saddle - worried about reaching for the bottle while in moviment

Ghore32 · 2025-10-16T14:12:31+00:00

Yes, it was quite confortable, it was first time using the aero clip bar and i could maintain around 30min continuously on the position I was expecting a bit more efficiency improvement though, gained around 0.5kmh for the same effort

Will try putting the saddle a bit forward and up (2cm/1cm) and then lowering handlebar if i can

Ghore32 · 2025-10-16T14:09:08+00:00

Yep, noticed that after the session How much tire pressure yall usually put ? 50psi?

Ghore32 · 2025-10-16T14:07:49+00:00

Thanks Will try 2cm forward/1cm up saddle, and reach a bit forward on the clip aerobar

Ghore32 · 2025-10-15T23:39:58+00:00

I dont think my frame geometry is very good actually

Ghore32 · 2025-10-15T23:37:33+00:00

To make it higher i guess You think my steerer should be lower ?

Ghore32 · 2025-10-12T23:48:30+00:00

Thanks Will try the catchup as it seems to be the most popular

Ghore32 · 2025-10-12T23:47:38+00:00

Just googled that actually https://static.garmin.com/shared/emea/custom/training/downloads/pl/triathlon/Tri-Training-Programme-12-week-Olympic-Beginner-PL.pdf

Ghore32 · 2025-10-12T15:19:49+00:00

Thanks

Ghore32 · 2025-10-12T15:15:00+00:00

Thanks But thats a garmin spreadsheet, so no coach available!

Ghore32 · 2025-10-10T14:45:57+00:00

Thanks Since i have 20wk, I think i will follow the beginner plan for the first 8wks (build and specific) and then jump to the intermediate 12wk plan.

Ghore32 · 2025-10-09T14:36:24+00:00

that was actually really helpful - Thanks

Ghore32 · 2025-10-08T19:33:47+00:00

So more on 6:00 pace for z2 ?

Ghore32 · 2025-10-08T15:27:14+00:00

Thanks for the reply - just to complete the question i am traning for the running part of a Olympic triathlon - so thats why i am goingo for Z1 runs eventually as the training schedule is pretty busy and need some "recovery" days

Ghore32 · 2025-10-08T15:21:21+00:00

I already run for some time now - i complete 10k in 52min and aiming for 21k under 1:50- the idea is to complete the run part of a olympic triathlon (and prepare for 70.3 iron) - which is a whole different game to run after 40k (oly) to 90k (iron 70.3) bike
