What we say about the Stöckli Stormrider Pro: Stöckli’s ‘Stormrider’ series has always occupied a a place in skiing’s pantheon of true expert skis. This year, Stöckli developed a new ski to take up the mantle, the Stormrider Pro. This is a beast of a ski built for the strongest skiers. Sure, it floats, with 105mm of ski underfoot, but it's wood/ metal/ fiberglass construction and graphite race base scream that this ski is made for mach speed. No, it’s not a twin-tip and it isn’t rockered. It won’t help you smear turns or scrub speed. If that’s what you want keep looking (perhaps you’d prefer something from a brand made in China?). The Stormrider Pro is a full on Swiss-made ""Pro"" performance ski.

What Stöckli says about the Stormrider Pro Skis: The Stöckli Stormrider Pro is an energetic big mountain ski with a smooth feel for powder performance. The perfect blend of flex, side-cut, and construction allow this ski to be both aggressive yet smooth at the same time in powder. A big mountain ski true to heart, that will not fail if it wonders on trail. P.I.Technology saves weight and adds some absorption traits to quiet down chatter.
