The Stormrider 88 stands out as a versatile ski, excelling in both freeride and on-piste environments. Leveraging rocker technologies from the freeride segment, it offers excellent lift in fresh snow. With a waist width of 88 mm and a sporty tailoring, the ski enables impressive carving on groomed slopes. Through subtle adjustments to the wood core, it now boasts enhanced playfulness and agility. So, why wait? Head to the mountains and experience the all-around performance of the Stormrider 88.
In Switzerland, skis with a waist width nearing 90mm are commonly referred to as "all-mountain" or "freeride" skis. Conversely, in the western part of North America, they are often viewed as effective tools for navigating front side groomers. Regardless of the terminology, the Swiss reputation for excelling in diverse conditions holds true, and the Stöckli Stormrider 88 Skis are highly regarded as top-notch groomer performers. Even on a powder day, these skis remain appealing. This season, they have undergone slight modifications, including updates to the core and tweaks aimed at enhancing maneuverability. Stöckli, known for its longstanding successful formula, has ensured that these adjustments maintain the ski's excellence on the slopes.

Impressive quiver skis
Last season I was on my 2016 Stormrider 88s one day and there is a great story behind that but after I was done skiing I noticed a gash along my edge that was at least 15 inches long.. I thought I was going to have dig them a shallow grave.. I did get them fixed and they still work great.. They hold an amazing edge.. As a racer I am trying to learn how to pivot or do the skidded turns.. I am pretty good at doing it with my 2019 Stormrider 105s.. Normally when I get to slow areas around a lot of people I just snowplow..
Last season I demoed some Stormrider 95s and before I even got on snow I realized they were blown out at the heal.. When I returned them they had another pair of 95s that were blown out at the heal and a pair of 88s that were blown out at the heal.. I did talk to someone who had a pair of 102s that were blown out at the heal.. Did they fix that for this season?
Greetings from ski holidays in Livigno 🇮🇹. I have got Stormrider 88 previous 2021 model. I agree with you: you can carve, skid, do long and short radius, some off piste, bumps, fast, effortless, damping terrain. They are very light. I am 58 and ski mainly in Alps. I usually alter them with Stockli Laser SC for more radical carving but this is tiring. If I want to ski in style all day then I have Stormrider 88.
Greetings @miradce ! Thank you for adding to our impressions with your experience with the Stormrider 88’s! Have a great ski holiday!
How would you say this compares to the new Volkl Kendo OR Ripstick? The 2012 Kendo was my favorite all mountain ski and now I'm vacillating between the Stormrider 88, Volkl Keno and to a lesser degree, the Ripstick.
I skied the 2023 95 out West last spring. They were awful in the bumps, but great for cranking GS turns in crud off-piste. I'm not totally shite in bumps; I did my time as a Bump F*g on Outer Limits at Killington. Anyway, how does anyone think the Stormriders are good in bumps? They are like taking FIS GS skis through moguls!
Thanks for your impressions on the 95. We would agree that the Stormrider 95’s are not great mogul skis… this review was about the Stormrider 88’s - a totally different animal.
I demo’d the 88s at Mammoth this weekend, and they were great in the moguls. I bought them.
