Salomon Stance 96 | 2024

With a new build, less weight and the same excellent edge control, the 2024 Salomon Stance 96 is a ski to remember. Boasting a sturdy Double Titanal laminate backbone and a karuba and poplar full wood core, this is a ski that loves to charge on hardpack. Salomon heard last year’s feedback and eliminated some of the stiffness and weight in this updated construction. The result is a ski that still holds up when speed is the mission, but can also dance through trees and moguls much friendlier than the previous model. “Very maneuverable. It rips smooth, easy turns on firm snow and can blast through the chop,” says Phil Maslow. It’s always great to see a company listen, learn and improve, and that’s precisely what Salomon did with the 2024 Stance 96, a directional bomber of an all-mountain ski for those who crave stability and a dash of playfulness.
