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.

A good skier transcends equipment. That's why I buy all my stuff at
yard sales.
