highpeakFor all the shit they get on NS and in general, I've heard they're honestly great skis for a certain type of crowd
that's the "problem" we have with skis today, the market has matured and developed so much which is amazing, but unlike 15-20 years ago where there weren't many choices and they didn't vary a ton in their approach, now we have skis that are designed to do specific things even WITHIN a genre of skiing
so while S7s are horrible for me because they're soft and feckless and don't want to go straight (even if there's a fire), they're perfect for someone who wants something that can handle all the normal situations for a more casual or older skier who likes short turns
it's great, of course, that we have so many choices. but buying skis from 2010-2020 is so crazy different from buying skis from 2000-2010. i've bought 2 pairs that i sold after skiing one day and just straight hating them
Super 7 RD and super 7 HD are wildly different skis, the HD is basically a super soft, beginner pow ski (Wider should 7). The RD is a beefy, high radius big mountain charger that will devour your soul if you don’t actively stay on top of it and work the ski.
Titus69My friend had super 7s and he said he loved ripping all mtn on em, not sure how hard but they could handle big backies. Soul 7s are good til you’re airborn on hard pack or ripping chop. Will get some again in 15-20 years maybe, they’ll be vintage.

I think I’ve seen a few Rossi athletes skiing big lines on those, they do actually seem way more of a charger than the soul 7, wonder how that replacement line will be next season. RIP Soul 7

Stockli are good skis, so are Volkls for that matter.
I got stocklis and I’m by no means rich, I was so proud to save an afford them, like anything else one works for and takes pride in , it sucks to see it get categorized as a dentist ski etc
extravertwow this is true. My uncle talks about his latest $1500 Stockli ski purchase as if it was totally normal
I've been on the atrises as my only inbounds ski for a few seasons and like them a lot. Never really got that vibe from the company and don't see tons of people on them where I am.
Not as much as DPS. Those are the ultimate Jerry ski, but I will say Black Crows is rapidly approaching them. Not because they aren't good skis, but there is certainly a high percentage of Jerries that suck at skiing but think they are really good and have to have the what they perceive as the cool kid ski, which is Black Crows. I think you have to give props to Black Crows for being so cool, the dorks are now on them.

Agreed. Black crows makes some fire skis and excellent graphics, they've just become popular with a certain crowd. Reminds me of faction in that they often follow the same theme but continue to creatively expand on it in terms of graphics. Not to mention julien regnier deserves the upmost respect

I personally skied the Atris's for 3 years and had nothing but good things to say about them. They are not for all skiers as they really started to come alive above 3rd gear. They required a strong, aggressive, fast skier but could literally handle anything you through at them. Pow days, groomers and even park and pipe. Again not for everyone, but definitely caters towards the more advanced skiers out there.
Justis is a heavier and damper (a la Nordica Enforcer) because of the Titanal. Super planted and stable at just about any speed.
Camox is a great ski on groomers and can really rail turns but does have a speed limit. Great in the park too, stable for jumps for sure.
Atris is more directional than the Camox, with less rocker in the tail in proportion to the nose than some of the other skis (Captis, Camox, Anima). It rewards strong and aggressive skiing, and doesn’t really appreciate being driven from the backseat. It’s really versatile though, and can handle just about anything one can throw at it.
Jerries? Anyone saying that about a ski brand is probably one.
I know, because it takes one to know one.
Just have some fun, and quit worrying about everyone else that bought a certain ski brand.
If someone gave you a new pair of Black Crows, would you ski them or give them away to someone you think is a Jerry?
You know what to know what really killed newschoolers? 13 year olds posting threads like this daily that sit at the top of ski gabber. WHO FUCKING CARES?
What kills Newschoolers is that this is a seasonal sport. A lot of people aren’t thinking of skiing in August.
Plus it gets very heated and judgmental here including with mods that it pushes people from not only this site but the sport.

Your not wrong, it “freeskiing” maybe one of the most toxic sports I’ve seen. Like for real one of the most active threads right now is 100% about “image” / “perception” based on the brands you wear. I literally can’t think of any other sport that comes close.
Oh and the abundance of “pros” that don’t even get paid and act like king shits. If you disagree I encourage you to visit any dew tour stop and see how these glorified children carry themselves Out at the restaurants/bars its fucking gross.
There’s surfing where if you surf at the wrong place a surf gang will slash your tires.
Lots of unwritten rules in surfing.
Image matters too.
