Stockli Stormrider 88 Skis 2025

THE PERFECT STORM.

REVIEWED BY: Joe Riccio

The Stockli Stormrider 88 is built with quality you can feel when you hold the skis in your hand, but more importantly when you put the Stormrider 88's up on edge.  The skis have an incredibly smooth feel underfoot, no matter how hard you push them or what the snow is like. They're powerful without feeling demanding, they're quiet at speed without feeling dead, and turn initiation is incredibly smooth and confidence inspiring. At 88mm at the waist this ski prefers to be on some better manicured snow, but don't be afraid to get a little adventurous, these skis can handle it. The softer flex pattern in the tail makes the ski easy enough to release from a turn or pivot through some tighter terrain, softer snow, and make any turn shape you'd like. The Stromrider 88 is a capable and confident ski that makes the run feel like you are moving in slow motion, they're incredibly intuitive skis that offer predictability and control; regardless of skill level. 

Who is this ski for? Skiers who love groomers and want the smoothest ride out there. People who like nice things.

Who isn't this ski for? Skiers who want the most powerful ski for crushing groomers. The Stormrider is powerful, but if you're an aggressive skier you'll want something with more "oomph" like a Kastle MX 88.
