Salomon Stance 102 | 2024

The new Salomon Stance 102 not only looks like a good time with hot pink bases, but it also slices through groomers like a freshly sharpened knife through room-temperature, pasture-raised butter. A directional shape paired with a new poplar and karuba wood core and two Titanal plates running the length of the plank account for its vice-like grip on groomers but can also be credited for its minimized torsional rigidity, which means the new Stance 102 is more poppy and playful than its predecessor. Tester Cole Timm agrees, stating, “It is a bit more approachable and makes skiing bumps and crud just a bit more fun. The flex pattern is very consistent, and the shovel is there to support you on groomers, hardback and bumps.” Devan O’Connor backs up that sentiment, expressing that the Stance 102 is “super fast, playful and King of the variable conditions.”
