2027 Stockli Laser SC Orea Skis W/ SRT 12 Bindings

The 2027 Stöckli Laser SC Orea with SRT 12 binding merges high-performance carving with refined aesthetics, offering a ski that’s as elegant as it is capable. Built on the versatile Laser SC platform, the Orea edition introduces a softer wood core and distinctive design elements, delivering a smooth, responsive ride tailored for skiers who appreciate both form and function on groomed terrain.

Why we like it:

It combines the precision and agility of the Laser SC with a more forgiving flex and a luxurious finish, making it a standout choice for skiers seeking performance and style.

Who it's for:

Ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers who spend their time on trail and are looking for a ski that offers both dynamic carving capabilities and a comfortable, controlled experience.

Highlights:

The Laser SC Orea employs a host of techy features that give it that classic Stockli feel. It features a slightly softer wood core than its counterpart the Laser SC, which enhances its versatility and makes it more accessible without compromising on performance. Turn initiation and exit is smooth as butter thanks to the Flex Torsion Control (FTC) system, which mills out slits of metal in the tip and tail to tone down the torsional flex in those areas. Perhaps most notably, Size Optimized Construction tailors the ski's characteristics to each length, ensuring consistent performance across the range of sizes.

Things to consider:

While the Laser SC Orea offers a more forgiving flex compared to its Laser SC counterpart, it still demands a certain level of technical proficiency to fully access and appreciate its capabilities. Skiers who enjoy off trail adventures or those seeking a more playful, less edge-focused experience will find this ski lacks versatility for those applications.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Laser SC Orea skis true to size. Shorter lengths provide quicker maneuverability for lighter or less aggressive skiers, while longer lengths offer enhanced stability for those who prefer higher speeds and longer turns.
