Sooth Ski: Comparing Skis with Measured Data (2100+ skis!!)

[Skip Dooley]

I just checked this out for the 1st time today. It’s a really cool tool. Comparing same model (v-werks katana) over different years, there are marked differences in stiffness. Do you think that’s accurate? Or is that anomalous?

Thanks for the feedback. Can you tell me which model, year, length you are looking at?

There seems to be something weird with the mount point of the 177 and 184 in 2025. This can make the stiffness curves look different (i.e., shifted). Could be many things, I will try to find that ski again to double check. The machine was working properly before and after (e.g., the Mantra M102 24-25 is exactly the same as in 23-24). Could be an operator error.

If anyone has easy access to these skis and could check, it would help...

No Reckoner 124 (yet?).

No Reckoner 124 (yet?).

It is not in the skis that are coming soon. It wasn't available at Ski Essential (and still isn't). I doubt we can find it anywhere else on the East Coast...

Sure! It was V werks Katana, 191. Years 21/22 vs 24/25. The 21/22 was noticeably stiffer longitudinally and torsionally compared to 24/25. The other earlier years seemed to be consistent with the 21/22..

Sorry for the delay, I was travelling. There is something wrong there and I will look at it in the next few days.

In the meantime I have added a few skis. Now at 686 skis for 24-25 and a grand total of 5425 skis.

@alude,
thanks for doing this. It’s a really useful resource.

Still shocked that this site exists. THANK YOU
