r/Skigear

However, for our heavy, wet snow I generally recommend something around 105-110 and with a heavier build to be the optimum everyday ski, especially for Whistler. In your case though, given you already have the Bents, I'd suggest adding a narrower damp ski for those icy days. Top choices for you would be the Blizzard Brahma 82, Armada Declivity 82 Ti, or Elan Wingman 82 Ti. Or slightly wider with the Wingman 86 Ti, Brahma 88, or Volkl Kendo 88

Okay for a bit of context:

I live in BC. Mainly riding the mountains in the lower mainland. Whistler, Cypress, etc.

I'm 5'9", 135lbs (yeah I'm a small dude, gimme a break).

Last winter season was my first real year back at it since my teenage years (where I was, like most Canadians in BC, going on one or two trips a year with fam and/or school). That being said, I did get a good amount of sessions in last season. Something like 15, so my skill advanced quite a bit. I'd say solid intermediate.

I was riding Rustler 9s in 164cm with a used oldish Head Vector 90 flex boot. Pretty affordable beginner set-up to ease into it.

I did quickly find my limit with these though I think. Whether it be the boot or the ski, I felt like I had a lag in quick turns/pivoting for moguls and trees, when it should be pretty easy with a setup like that. It felt heavy to pick up off the ground despite not actually being that heavy, if that makes sense. 

On-top of that, despite being the PNW I found I was skiing almost an equal amount on really hard pack, icy, and cruddy conditions last season. The rustlers did pretty well in crud, but I was miserable on hard pack and ice. Tons of skidding/side slipping. On-top of this, they definitely felt a little sketch with any sort of speed on hard pack.

The powder/soft snow days were great though and the rustlers did well.

Anyways, this year I got a much stiffer boot (Full Tilt FC 130), which I've read is on the softer side for a 130. The tongue is modular and can be swapped out for a 100 flex.

My ski this year is a Bent 100, 172cm length. I was looking for something playful that I could improve my ability to get air, play in trees, do side hits, and practice switch.

That being said, I've read they're *okay* for dampness and it makes me a little concerned for the days where ice and crud are factors - these days would likely be a little more groomer focused anyways since doing trees and jumps on icy days sounds like a good way to get wrecked.

Anyways, I'd love to hear some suggestions. Do I go for another mid size all mountain that's a bit heavier that can bust through crud and hold an edge well, or should I be aiming for something more narrow underfoot?

TLDR; have Bent 100s and am looking for something that might be a bit more damp and hold an edge well in icy/sketchy conditions.

Looking for a second pair for PNW Quiver

 You don't need a wider ski than this if you don't ski in fresh snow. Just goes to, you know, having the ski appropriate for the conditions you ski and a lot of skiers out there are in this, should be in this low to mid 80s range. This one is the 182, creates a 16.4 meter turn radius, so that is kind of on the shorter side, definitely likes to link those GS shaped turns together on groomed trails

 This one is the 182, creates a 16.4 meter turn radius, so that is kind of on the shorter side, definitely likes to link those GS shaped turns together on groomed trails. But again, nice overall ski from Armada here. Another generation of skiers are going to get to enjoy this thing this year, so that's really good news

 It's more appropriate for that front side format. But overall just a really nice ski from Armada. You know, there's a lot of skiers that really want this type of all mountain ski, narrower waist for quicker turns. You know, if you don't live in an area that gets a lot of snow, this is a fantastic option

2022 Armada Declivity 82 Ti - SkiEssentials com Ski Test

I am in the same position as you abs I was looking at all the same skis. I ended up pulling the trigger on the Armada Declivity 92ti. Could not be happier.

I am an intermediate skier with good prospective progress. 6 foot 4, 220 pounds (1.92m, 100kg), with good fitness, but technically also intermediate (😂).

I mostly ski any groomers, but could occasionally hit sparsely wooded off-piste powder out West. 

I have a 13 years old K2, 77mm underfoot that I barely used. I have been thinking about an 88 to 96 underfoot all mountain/freeride skis... Kendo 88, Mantra m6, Enforcer 94, Head Kore 93. Blizzard Rustler 9, Atomic Maverick 95...

I logically seem to think I should get something in the lower range I cited, an 88 like the kendo, but somehow I lean towards a wider one like the m6.

What do you guys recommend and why?

10 days east, 15 days west... What now?

 So thanks guys. Let us know if you have any questions and we'll see you on the slopes.

 They have great edge grip. They have a really, really good feel and a really kind of a nice blend of being powerful and stable and responsive and all the things that upper level skiers look for. But thanks to the Karuba Wood Core and thanks to that articulated titanal banding, you get a little bit more user friendliness out of it, a little bit more forgiveness without sacrificing too much of the powerful elements. So that's pretty much, in my opinion, the perfect application for this ski

 Today we're talking about the Armada Declivity 82 Ti. This is the narrowest of the new Declivity series. These skis are more focused on frontside firm snow performance than most of what we see from Armada, and the 82 being the narrowest is really the most firm snow focused out of all of Armada's skis these days. Really cool skis, really great addition to Armada's collection in general

 The Declivity 82 is really, really good and a really good choice. Let us know if you have any questions about it. Head on over to the Ski Essentials ski test page. You can leave us a question or a comment

 It's nice and friendly, it's not too aggressive for you, it's not trying to throw you around so you'll have a good time on this all day long. So in the 169cm length this ski has a very reasonable turn radius of 15.3m so it's going to be nice and easy to get around the turn for you. When you come into store this ski is a system binding setup so it comes with the Atomic M10 binding, it's also grip walk compatible so it'll be able to take almost any boots that we stock

 You could possibly just drop off the sides into some of the slightly softer stuff but you won't want to go too far because it's not quite going to give you enough float but it's brilliant on piste. So I'm coming in at 5 foot 4 and I've skied this day in the 169cm and it's really easy, really fun ski. It's nice and friendly, it's not too aggressive for you, it's not trying to throw you around so you'll have a good time on this all day long.

Atomic Unisex Redster Q5 - Expert Review [2022] - YouTube

 I'm Rob Stewart from In The Snow, I'm here in Kutai testing skis and I've just tried out the new Atomic Resda Q5. This is a ski aimed at someone that's maybe looking to buy their first ski. Skiing on piste, you're skiing on piste all the time, it's 76mm underfoot, so very much an on piste ski. It's very, very easy turning, it's also very grippy

 It's really nice to ski on, really grippy, gives you a lot of confidence and yeah, I enjoyed skiing it on the piste here in Kutai.

 Skiing on piste, you're skiing on piste all the time, it's 76mm underfoot, so very much an on piste ski. It's very, very easy turning, it's also very grippy. I find that the initiation of the turn of this ski is very, very easy, it then slightly understeers towards the end of the turn which can be a good thing because it can give you a lot of control. I think when you're really trying to crank the turns up, you know sometimes that understeering element can hold you back at higher speeds, but for £470 including bindings, the Resda Q5 is a fantastic value for money and if you're looking for your first ski on piste, I'd definitely look at this ski

InTheSnow review the Atomic Redster Q5 skis at the SIGB's ski test in Kuhtai March 2022.

Rob said this ski is aimed at more of a first time piste ski buyer, 76mm under foot, very easy to turn and very grippy.  It's easy to turn, maybe slightly under steers at speed, but that's fine for earlier skiers £470 inc bindings it's great value.

It will give you a lot of confidence on piste, maybe not one for off piste :)
