Stöckli Spirit Motion review 2017

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

Already reviewed last year, the Spirit Motion from Stöcklï has not changed much and continues to put the emphasis on accessibility. Once again, it confirms its highly user-friendly nature.

The reviewers were particularly impressed with the easy turn initiation, the progressive nature of the skid turns, and the consistency of the snowplough. In addition, it has good grip which is reassuring for skiers on hard pack.

The ski is flexible (which makes for easy handling) but is less happy when we step up the pace. In effect, the reviewers found it lacked character to some extent and there was a loss of stability at high speeds.

While it's not at the top of its category, this model well deserves its place in the very exclusive selection made by PROSKILAB™. We recommend the Spirit Motion for beginners to early intermediate skiers who mainly want to improve their skid turns and snowplough skills. Skiers who want to work on their carves should look for a slightly more dynamic model.

Review: Pros

• Very accessible overall
• A light ski
• Happy in skid turns and the snowplough
• Good grip and turn performance

Review: Cons

• Lacks character and stability
