I have been skiing primarily in the mid-west for the last 30 years but moved to Colorado in 2024. After the 2024/2025 ski season, I knew that my 10 year old Rossignols needed replacement. I replaced them this year with the QST 92 skies which were the widest ski I had ever been on. This ski was advertised as best for Intermediates. In my youth I skied the backcountry steeps, at my age of 71 and less than ideal physical condition, thought the ski fit my current situation as well as mellower approach to skiing. After 3-days of skiing them I have to say that I did not choose poorly. Granted, all the runs were on groomed green or blue runs, these skis rock. Light and playful but stable. Handles ice well. Found I was much more aggressive than imagined. I felt totally in control unlike last year on my old familiar gear.
