I couldn't find any local shops that had a Monster 82 to demo, its hard to find a shop in the midwest that even carries them. I was able to demo the Stockli Stormrider XL again, it skis like a GS race ski on hard pack which I like. I wish I could have tested it in powder or crud, the best I could do was ski under the fresh stuff coming out of the guns. Pretty hard to tell much skiing over five foot mounds of wet snow. I like the way they skied on the hard pack and being 10mm wider than what I normally ski on, they should have the added versatility to handle the soft stuff. The ski was given a Gold Metal by ski magazine in the one quiver ski category, we'll find out!
