The Salomon Stance W 88 was built for intermediate to advanced women skiers who spent the majority of their time on groomed runs. At 88 millimeters under foot, these skis excel on when put on edge on front-side, groomed terrain. What makes the Stance 88 stand out is the width in the tips and tails aided by slight rocker, giving them added versatility and providing extra float for when a storm rolls in and coats the mountain with a fresh canvas of white. The all-mountain design of this ski gives it some playfulness that won’t overpower intermediate skiers, making it relatively easy to get in and out of turns. Due to its ability to turn quickly from edge to edge, it makes for a great bump ski as well as getting into trees when searching out fresh pockets of snow. Two layers of Titanal and a proprietary blend of Carbon and Flax keep the Stance 88 stable at speed and provide a smooth, damp feel. The Stance 88 is both light and powerful with a low swing weight and a snappy feel to reel off turns with confidence and push the ski as hard as you can push it without feeling any compromise. Intermediates will love the carving prowess of this ski while advanced skiers will rave of the all-mountain versatility that the Salomon Stance W 88 will provide.
