Good beta, thanks. I've been wondering about the 191 monster 98, but people only seem to spew objective drivel about it, rather than providing a comparison.
Per the stocklis, I'm all about high edge angles, should be right up my alley. I picked them up for a quiver slot to replace a pair of LP's I haul around on in bumps/chop/corn/coral. Should fit the bill.

191 Monsters are super burly. Planks really, but have a tight enough sidecut that they can I handle some tighter stuff. I have 191 108s, but I heard the 98s are slightly tighter carving.
I am interested in those 192 Stormrider 95s. One pair left on ebay.

Anything comparable as far as overall flex? Pretty one-dimensional, or able to vary turn shape? All I have heard, here and elsewhere, is "burly", I don't doubt that, just trying to find a reasonable comparison.
I have negative dollars for any more gear this year, but if they're still making them next year I may have to obtain a pair.

They are extremely stiff. 10 out of 10. Much stiffer than most other new skis in their category too. Stiffer than Legend Pros. Stiffer than Rossignol Experience or RC112. Stiffer than Moment Garbones. I dont really have much experience with older (2000s)traditional-style skis, I am sure there are stiffer skis..but I have yet to come across anything new that is this burly.

I feel like that's common with stockli in general; if you just tip it over and stand on it, it makes a beautiful turn, but if you truly drive into the tip, it can feel unbalanced. The laser cross pros I have will ride railroad tracks through anything, but the sweet spot is about 15 cm in front of the binding, definitely not out in the tip. Even the 201 DP pro felt like that: it was a beast, huge radius, super damp, but the first 10% of the ski was almost noodly in comparison.

Very popular with the 70 year-old groomer zoomers in Sun Valley. Not sure why. That bright yellow ski really stands out.
