Stormrider 102 | 2026

The Stormrider 102 represents the widest and most powder-focused offering in Stöckli’s all-mountain freeride Stormrider collection. True to the Swiss manufacturer’s race heritage, this handcrafted ski excels at holding an edge when charging on groomers. However, unlike its narrower siblings, the Stormrider 102 features a substantial shovel and 102 mm waist that provide impressive floatation in soft snow while maintaining stability in variable terrain.

During testing at Vail, the Stormrider 102 proved equally capable on firm morning corduroy and soft afternoon conditions. The ski’s dense wood core reinforced with Titanal creates exceptional dampness that slices through freshly groomed runs with authority. This burly construction delivers the stability and confidence to push hard at high speeds, exactly what you’d expect from a brand rooted in alpine racing. As conditions soften throughout the day, that same solid platform powers through chopped-up snow without deflection.

The Stormrider 102’s progressive shape enhances its versatility across conditions. A splayed tip initiates turns effortlessly, while subtle tail rocker provides options—you can either finish arcs with precision or release and pivot. This combination of directional performance and maneuverability bridges the gap between Stöckli’s on-piste precision and off-piste capability.

While Stöckli built its reputation on race-inspired frontside performance, the Stormrider line has steadily expanded the brand’s credentials over recent years. The Stormrider 102 takes this evolution further, delivering soft-snow performance that matches its groomer prowess. For skiers drawn to Stöckli’s renowned build quality and edge hold but seek true all-mountain versatility, the Stormrider 102 offers the best of both worlds—uncompromising hard-snow performance with the width and shape to handle everything else the mountain throws your way.
