The Stockli Nela 96 Women's Skis is widest offering in the Nella Line up. With a 96-millimeter waist width, we are talking about supreme all mountain versatility and being that elusive one-ski quiver that advanced and expert skiers are looking for. Even at 96- millimeters underfoot, it remains quick edge to edge, while providing superior float and overall performance in soft snow compared to the narrower Nela models. Subtle tip and tail rocker further enhance its ability in softer snow conditions, and also give it a very smooth feel when tipping into a carving turn. Stockli is a high-end ski manufacturer and their attention to detail and dedication to high quality materials is evident in the way they perform. They use a Super Light Core with their Titanal Tec construction. Two sheets of metal are used, with one of the sheets also acting as the topsheet layer of the ski. This method, combined with the lightweight wood core, provides an impressive weight for the final product. The 164- centimeter length is just 1605 grams, quite a bit lighter than most competitors’ skis in this width range that also use metal. The way the Nela 96 balances stability, vibration damping, and power with forgiveness, playfulness, and a lightweight feel is quite impressive. The Stockli Nela 96 Women's Skis offer an incredible daily driver ski experience that is quite simply, tough to match from any other ski brand.
