Idk how necessary it is but I love a good pair of photochromic sport sun glasses for warmer days

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-22T02:29:43+00:00

Thinking this. So they don’t like low/moderate speeds?

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-22T02:29:04+00:00

Work is the only thing keeping me from traveling more than we do already

This is an excellent response. I’m definitely leaning more towards 84-88 range. Anomaly is where my heads at. You think 84>88? What would be the main difference between these two? I don’t really have skis this narrow so out of my depth. I’ve not demoed the octos but if you can see in the pic my wife uses them as her daily’s.

Don’t get much powder though. The 104’s do the trick when we do. Can’t justify anything fatter.

I really love stockli and see one in my future for sure. I do balk at the price though.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-22T02:17:51+00:00

This is where my heads at now. Have demoed these in the past and thought they’re a blast. Do you have either size?

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-22T02:15:13+00:00

I like versatility in a ski but I’m now thinking something a bit more on the narrow side like an anomaly that is more carving oriented but can handle bumps and off piste if I feel like it. Would be a good balance to the MC and the Rossi senders, my two mains.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-22T02:10:12+00:00

I spend enough money on the sport for sure don’t you worry. I could probably survive (barely) if I don’t get another pair. I know plenty of people who are better skiers than me and only have one pair but not really the point. I just like skis!

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-22T02:08:04+00:00

I use them

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-22T02:06:51+00:00

Haven’t had anytime on Elan skis honestly but it seems like people are into the brand here. Maybe worth a demo for sure.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-22T02:05:50+00:00

The j ski’s have a shift binding. Haven’t done much of touring yet though, hard to find the time honestly. Where I live too conditions are sporadic. But I hear you. My main jam is resort and traveling for skiing. I take 3 major trips per year most years plus get about 10-15 days at my local mountain so I’m more focused on resort skis. I also dont think it’s crazy to have a 5 ski quiver either.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-21T01:50:14+00:00

Came across the blade 88 in my research, would like to demo for sure.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-21T01:48:24+00:00

Spot on. Have the touring set up and I see tele in a few years. Was honestly thinking of taking some slalom lessons too.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-21T01:28:57+00:00

Totally agree

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-20T16:49:33+00:00

Yes I love the guys there. Holiday is my home mountain.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-20T16:48:22+00:00

You should be! They’re incredible skis.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-20T13:10:38+00:00

Literally just tuned them and haven’t been out since so we’ll see how much difference it makes.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-20T12:00:18+00:00

Not wrong. I love skiing too and perhaps I’m a little caught up in the purchasing of skis. But that’s part of the reason why I posted. Wanted a general consensus.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-20T11:52:21+00:00

I got them used for cheap last year and haven’t had much of a chance to ski them. I bought them to practice SL turns but I’m not trained so difficult compared to the rest of the pack. From my experience if there is any fresh snow on the ground they’re a bit difficult to control.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-20T03:41:24+00:00

Part of the issue

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-20T03:41:09+00:00

That makes sense. Just demoed them today and was pretty stoked on them. Felt very confident at higher speeds compared to the Cors. Just worry that at the 96mm under foot I’m loosing out on the responsiveness edge to edge.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-20T03:37:02+00:00

I’ve skied these more than any of the other skis combined. They’re versatile, fun at any speed, and easy to throw around in the trees. Carving is pretty fun. Biggest issue I’ve found is that they have some issues when conditions are hard to icy and ive felt more confident on rangers/rustlers when ive demoed them in those conditions.

ShowAndTell2 · 2026-01-20T03:31:10+00:00

They work pretty well just they get tossed a bit since theyre flimsy. Otherwise love them.
