"I can remember about 8 years ago when I tried my first pair of Stockli skis from Rick. I felt like my whole skiing experience was changed. Having grown up skiing at Sugarbush on the East coast, I knew what trails to ski on and when to ski them in order to avoid the ice. Nevertheless, the inevitable would come along and you'd hit an ice patch. I was constantly looking for patches of ice to avoid. This time, with the Stocklis and Rick's expert job on the edges, I wasn't avoiding those patches anymore. I was intentionally heading for ice and carving all over it with this great feeling of victory. Whenever I'm back up in Waitsfield, VT, I head over to make sure I get a tune up from Rick so I can keep conquering the ice."

Rick,
"Wow, like riding an express rail -- stable, responsive, short quick turns, quick transitions from edge to edge, and fast.
Love the older Laser SC (168), but this new one is better in a variety of snow conditions.
Outstanding performance with that blue Marker Griffon binding -- could not be happier with this purchase (this weekend).
Level III experience in every way -- NorthEast skiing on hardpack, air & jumps easy and smooth; great in moguls as well at 170 length.
This new model is a fantastic ski that combined what I have in both the older Laser SC (168) and Cross (164) models.
Stockli makes incredible skis and continues to prove it over and over … many thanks! Had two groups (strangers) stop me at the lifts (waiting at the top), asked me where I got them, and for the directions to your shop – we’ll see if they follow-up."
