PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The ideal advanced ski, the Spirit Globe produced by Stöckli was awarded the one of the ProSkiLab™ testers' favourites. It's an excellent choice for a wide range of skiers, from average to expert. For the former, it's a highly manoeuvrable ski that will help them to make progess quickly and confidently, while the latter will enjoy this high performance, particularly well-balanced ski.

Review: Pros

  • The all-round Spirit Globe are high performing, comfortable, accessible and versatile. They're easy to ski in all types of turns, but especially short-radius turns. They're reassuring and confidence-inspiring with exemplary, predictable behaviour. The testers were particularly impressed by their manoeuvrability and their turn initiation which was considered exceptional.

Review: Cons

  • It's only logical that the ski is less responsive at high speeds and in very dynamic turns, where it lacks grip and stability.
