How are you with umlauts? If you rhyme "Stöckli" with "took me" you're close enough to ask for a pair of the Stöckli Nela 96 Skis, and you'd be well advised to grab one of the finest all-mountain rides available. The Nela 96 builds on Stöckli's classic sandwich construction complete with Titanal topsheet, but lightens the construction a bit with a 25% thinner glass laminate to save weight and soften up the flex to match smaller body types. That said, the Nela rips in all snow conditions while retaining the versatile maneuverability you need in bumps and tight trees. Everyone from athletic intermediates working their way into challenging terrain to full-blown experts will find themselves at home on them.
