Recommendation allmountain skis
Hi folks,
please I need an advice. I want to buy a new,good allmountain skis but don't know which one. Present I am riding Armada TST 174cm but I think I found limit on them,they are quite soft and has couple of years so they are not in good conditions,mostly the edges.
I found out on net that the best allmountain skis should be the nordica enforcer (100),volkl mantra (100),nordica NRGY100....
I am 178cm high and about 70-75 kilos weight person an intermediate-advanced offpiste skier (with some every year progress).
I need it mostly for bad conditions on hard pack,chop,varied conditions,ice and they should ride good in a little bit of powder and groomers (to get on lift).
I have new bibby's pro in 184cm for those powder days,so I need something that I can ride when there is no 40cm of powder. Mostly riding steep couloir, I like that so much. They should be quick and nimble,stable at speed and ride bad conditions best.
I was thinking about Mantras 2015 but they are fully rockered with no camber,which should be (camber) good for edge contact on hard and ice so now I don't know... And the Mantras have much more radius than Enforcer. I want to buy skis in 177cm length. I will be happy to hear your advices.
Thanks a lot. (sorry for english,not a native)

Lots of options, but I would go with the red ones.

You have the Bippy, why not stick with Moment? The Deathwish with triple camber is a great all mountain ski. Skis hard snow, groomed conditions and is wide enough for soft snow. I have never been able to over ski the Deathwish, never gets loose.

Have you considered the Rossignol Soul 7? They are the pinnacle of ski design and performance. They will quickly become the only ski you ride after you realize they will have you skiing like a pro, and getting laid like a porn star.
You want to talk about do it all performance? They are the Bob Vila of skis. These handy fuckers can take on anything, make it look easy, and get it done in a half hour or less. They will have you flying down the slopes like a true professional. Ever been in a ski film? Because you will be if any producers catch you slaying on these bad boys!
Best of luck, and remember to post up some of the naked titties you get to start enjoying after buying a pair of the best skis ever made!

Demo if you can. If you can't just buy a 180 bonafide or a 177 enforcer 93. Both will be better than the skis you list on piste, and will handle enough fresh until you break out your bibbys.

I think you are on the right track. Bonafide or Enforcer 100 are both great.

Current three that are readily available to most folks, ranked from Red to blue
1. Bonifide (RED!!!!)
2. Enforcer (red AND Blue)
3. QST 99 (Blue with a little red that's actually a kinda orange)
They are all pretty awesome, the Bonifide provides the most edge grip and is torsional stiffest of the bunch, I'd recommend a detune in the tips and tails. The Enforcer is a little more forgiving fro lighter skiers or those looking to relax a bit. QST is loosest of the bunch but still provides dependable edge grip.
That said, my 'all mountain' skis (really all conditions) tend to be another cm wider than the above, and I prefer the ~90mm versions of the above for firm snow on and off piste

Like I said, they are the pinnacle of design and performance. Like the kid who always won dodgeball in grade school, they will take anything you throw at them. And unlike your selfish ex wife, they will let you do whatever you want with them.
Be a badass, or be just another "skier." Easy choice if you ask me.Last edited by NW_SKIER; 10-21-2016 at 10:43 AM.

mindlessly easy, easily deflected. Very meh. Perfect for the OP. I heard they added a little red to the topsheet this year and now they're stiffer! Thanks TGR
Speaking of, OP, please see Plea to Ullr thread and post requisite pictures of your wife/girlfriend/daughter/mom's tits so we can get back on track.

If you can demo skis you are interested in do that. Beside the Deathwish I also ski Bonifides which I like a lot, just not as much as the Deathwish. Demoed the Soul 7 twice, once in soft snow and once on hard pack / groomers. Hated them, absolutely did not work for me. I am sure they are a good ski, just not for me.

Thank you. The Enforcer's 100 I can't get cheap in EU,I found Mantras 2015 for 300Eur new but I am not sure with them. No camber for hard pack,ice and groomers and long turn radius above 21m. Want something about 16-17m radius for hard pack,wind blowned snow.

Take a look at this video of a guy skiing the Deathwish in just about every type of snow / condition.

Elan Ripstick 96.
Fischer Motive 95ti (aka Fischer Pro Mtn 95ti).
Both are like slightly more agile Bonefides. If you haven't skied the 2016 version of the bones, they are a little easier to swing around than their older counterparts.
