I've skied the Pocket Rocket and ended up with the Nordica Beast 92TT instead. They handled similarly but I thought the Beast had better hold on ice. I just got a pair of Nordica Enforcers and love them. They are a little slower edge to edge than the Beast but the hold is a lot better on ice and hard pack. Only downside is that they are a one way. Should've been a twin-tip at only 98mm at the waist.

Upgrading from the 'ol Pocket Rocket, huh? Well the Jah Love here is a pretty huge departure from what you're used to. The Rocket featured a super-light foam core and cap construction. Not only is the Jah Love HUGE compared to your current setup, but its burly wood core and stocky sidewalls are going to be far less forgiving than what you've been shredding on (in anything other than perfect snow). If you're looking for Nordica skis, I'd recommend the Girish (NOR0080 in our search bar) in a 185cm. Same rock-solid construction as the Jah Love, but a more versatile size and shape. One of our favs during the ski tests last season. Check 'em out!
