Can someone who has skied both the volkl kendo and stockli Stormrider 88
List their opinion of the PROs and CONs of each?

I am 6'-0" / 185 lbs and have been skiing 2014 Kendo for the past couple of years

I am considering moving to the 2016 Stockli Stormrider 88 but am having trouble
finding a decent comparison of these two ski models.


There are skiers, ex skiers, and loads of recreational skiers. We have our share of poseurs too. I don't now that the technical area is up to what it once was. But my perception is that skis these days don't require any technical data. Short and easy. Just go muscle them around. I'd sell you a pair of 207 Elan RS race stock if you want to go fast?



See what I mean? Pigo used to ski but gave up skiing years ago and became a golfer. Yup, that's right, a freaking GOLFER is hanging around what is supposed to be a ski forum and trying to flog old, obsolete piece-of-crap skis. Welcome to r.s.a.


I'm still skiing, FWIW

Can't comment from direct experience on the particular models you
mention, but everyone I've talked skies with in the past many years,
skiing any of the Stormrider models, has been pretty much universal in
acclamation.

Anyway, the skier is more important than the ski.
