After 30+ years of patolling and free skiing on Volkl's (AC30, AC40, & M6's lately) I need a nice softer recreational ski....

For your style and size, the Brahmas and Enforcers are solid choices. The Brahmas are great if you want something sturdy and responsive with good edge grip. The Enforcers, especially the 100s or 104s, might offer a bit more stability and dampness for hard charging. I’d lean towards the Enforcers if you want something beefier for aggressive skiing. Maverick 95s are also worth considering if you want a mix of playfulness and stability.

Damn you FSRR!!! I had swore off looking at wider skis, and you post this!!
Although the $45 shipping fee to the east cost is holding me back for the time being. 🥴

I tried Head 90 after skiing Mantra's - only ski in 35 yrs I've purchased over and over again - 4th set now. Other than out west- others were too soft for eastern hard pack and I constantly go back to Volkl's Heads are lighter and purchased for swing weight and backcountry ( got free heel bindings for skinning on them- super light too) but I ski on the Ice Coast so. . . . . .



Have a question on Atomic Bent 85R as compared to Volkl Revolt 96 for my 14 yr old - he can ski anything and plays in parks but trees are his thing. 100 lbs. 165CM if anyone has an experience with either. . . .

Being in the SLC area I was able to pick them up. I think shipping is free for over $400 orders.
