Great review! I have the Volkl Peregrine 80 in 177cm length. Would it make sense to add Stockli Montero AS 172cm to the quiver for hard snow/icy piste days? I am on the east coast, Quebec slopes with a lot of firm snow and icy conditions. I am advance skier 6' 175 lbs, and like to make shorter turns at medium to high-ish speeds, much slower than Supershape speeds though. Considering this width since I like quick and smooth edge to edge transitions. Looking to trade-in my 70mm Fischer Curv Ti, which I love very much, but they are not fun beyond the first couple of runs at 8 am.
You will get more suppleness and edge grip out of the AS on those firm days, and they make great short turns. While there's some overlap here in terms of application, I do think they offer different enough feels that if you want to add a second ski in the width range, this is a great place to be.
Would you rather go for this or for Montero AX if you would be looking at a one ski quiver, capable in any type of snow conditions, 100% on slope and looking to turn quick, short to medium at mid/high speeds on steep runs (advanced+ level dare I say :) )? To me, it looks like they're a bit overlapping in this regard. Thanks!
With my 180cm/85kg - is it ok to take Montero AS 178cm or 172cm? My actual skis are Laser AX 175cm(2017 model) and I think that Montero AS radius is similar to old Laser AX. I tried Montero AX but radius is longer and I didnt like them so much. So I want to try these new Montero AS.
I think if you're looking for a shorter arc, then going shorter in the ski makes sense. The 172 will be more engaging and athletic and I don't think too short for your stats.

AX for one ski.
