I have been skiing for 62 years on many different types/makes of skis. Last year I bought a pair of Stoeckli Montero AR (My first pair of Soecklis, even though I was born in Switzerland). Although I always thought a persons skills and not the equipment make a proficient skier, I must say that these skis almost “ski themselves!” I am extremely pleased with my purchase and highly recommend them!! Well done Stoeckli and well done guys explaining these skis and their differences!! As for the Montero AR model, I couldn’t agree more with your assessment!!
Nothing like a Stockli. I bought some ARs and felt like a 911 racing down the mountain against a herd of Civics and Camry's. This ski reinvigorated my love for skiing!
Thanks for your thoughts. Which ski would you pick if you can only have one? I ski most of the time on piste but in various conditions, like icy groomers and more spring conditions like wet and heavy snow. From time to time adventuring off piste. Usually I go mid to higher speeds.
He doesn't. But never judge a book by its cover. I work at a shop with a guy that's at least one hundred pounds overweight. And I'd be willing to Wager, he's better than ninety five percent of people who ever put a pair of skis on.

Short to mid radius turns, the AX, longer turns the AR.
Have you reviewed the Rossi sender 94 ti? A comparison video would be great! Cage match against Mantra or Maverick, or Ranger???
If I'm an East Coast skier who likes bumps and trees which one do I choose?
If just bumps, I would say the narrower but the trees I would want a bit wider. Neither is a wrong choice.
I love my stoeckli skis. Try them
My guess is that the AX is 99% on piste and the AR is 98% on piste..
Keep guessing
Guy doesn't look like he tries these skis himself now does he?
Greg has a very innate sence and feel for a ski and owns one of the most successful shops in the SF Bay area.

It's usually what is between a persons ears that counts.
