Endurance 88 - Factory Blemish

The best skis I've ever owned

For context I've owned in excess of 100 pairs of skis over 50 years. These are, bar none, the best. I've used them for a half dozen days in the toughest conditions Utah can throw at you, including crust, death glue, frozen solid corduroy, concrete (western ice) and today (April 24th) 4-6" of heavy slop and powder. The vibestop definitely reduces vibrations, even on today's heavy, variable snow. I never realized before that even soft snow can create so much stress in my legs. (I found this out by swapping these skis in for some wider all mountains I started the day with.) I absolutely have less fatigue and can ski longer. The edge hold is stellar and when I felt I was slipping a bit after 5 days, I tuned them back up to good as new. The 1° edge bevel is shockingly solid; I'm used to needing 3°. I'm going to get the Citadel 107s to supplement these for deeper days

Great all mountain skis

These skis are my favorite ever all mountain skis , they just do everything right. I ski mainly glades, bumps and soft snow. But when I hit the groomers they are impressive carvers for an all mountain skis. Because of vibestop they can hit impressive speeds while feeling in perfect control! It’s the only pair I need when going out west!

Whitefish skier

My second pair of Endurance 88's. Loved the first one, but at 170 cm I ordered them too short. When the opportunity came to pick up the 177 factory blems at a nice discount, I was ready, and they have not disappointed. Just enough longer to track better without sacrificing agility. I use them on days without significant new snow, and they are very versatile. For reference, I am 5'10", 150 lbs, and 76 years old...
