Stöckli Spirit O Two review 2014
Best Accessibility/Comfort!
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Despite this, the Spirit O Two is a great ski for intermediate to good skiers, especially those looking for a ski that won't become outdated as they improve.
Review: Pros
- The Spirit O Two is amazingly easy to handle. It was extremely responsive, flowing easily into turns, and proved to be at ease in all types of manoeuvres and terrains. Its overall performance was good as long as speeds were not excessive. The sensation underfoot was particularly agreeable and responsive in short-radius turns, and skiing on soft snow was a sheer delight!
Review: Cons
- Designed more with comfort and accessibility in mind, and handicapped by its relatively short length, the Spirit O Two falls short in terms of performance. At high speeds and/or on packed snow, the tip of the ski tends to vibrate and its behaviour becomes less reliable.
