Ski recommendations welcome

Middle age is catching up with/has caught up with/has overtaken me and I am finding my wonderful Volkl AC4 Unlimiteds require a dynamism that I sadly don't have any more. I have always loved Volkl skis. Can anyone recommend skis that have a good all mountain capability (though these days its more 75% on piste and 25% off) and don't require the strength of a 30 year old to initiate a strong turn? I am 184cm tall, 82 kgs and an advanced level skier. Thanks

I only skied Volkl skis for one day and have to admit were too much for me. Too light and not powerful enough to enjoy them.

Something like a narrow Salomon Enduro might be a nice option for you. For sure will be easy to initiate and great onpiste and even in medium deep powder.

I've been through a similar transition to you AB.
Some years ago I realised that my youthful "brute strength and ignorance" technique developed through skiing for several whole seasons was no longer possible.

What I have done and continue to do was/is .....

Some years ago I had a lesson where I asked to be taught to ski so I could continue for years. This was revelatory - it worked! I have had more lessons since, including last year, all with the goal of instilling techniques to make my skiing smoother and less energy intensive.

This is working - to the extent that my 25yo niece who is superbly fit grumbles about how she is out of breath and aching but the old, bald, fat, nearly geriatric (only 54 though :lol: ) has beaten her down the slope and is not out of breath.

The other part is equipment. Softer boots than I used to ski on (Lange Blaster with a flex of 100 now) and falling in love with modern all mountain skis.

Started with Dynastar Sultan 85 which I found really effortless in spring conditions, then some more "usual" skis where I realised the difference (not as easy to ski). Then the best I have had recently - Salomon BBR 8.9 (@176cm, I am 177cm tall) which were a ski that felt to me like three skis in one. Something simple and polite for pootling around on, a pair of racers if I put them on edge and something controllable in lumpy, bumpy snow and moguls.

Last hols I had some Movement Jam ER @173cm. Excellent ski but not as stable as either the Salomons or Dynastar at speed.

No idea what is right for you, AB, but I have found what works for me - medium underfoot, and some rocker. I am certain that skiing takes less energy now than it used to due to better technique suitable for age and fitness level and a ski that complements the skiing I want to do.

Hope you continue to enjoy decades more skiing.

I am 44 years of age, not especially fit, spend the majority of ski time on piste and enjoy playing about off.
I ski Scott Neo and they are everything I need them to be.
Have a look online and read reviews on them.

Nice wood core to give stiffness enough to ping you out of turns.

Many thanks folks
