Salomon Stance 102
Salomon had been out of the metallaminate ski game for a while, so when it reentered, it had to make a big splash. The Stance series delivered on a metal laminate ski for the modern skier, with a tailored flex pattern and a lively construction that feels light years away from the dead, glued-tothe- snow feeling of yesteryear’s metal skis. Our testers were wowed at how versatile the Stance 102 was on snow: Sure it rages on-piste, but once you get it into a wide open bowl or some serious steeps, the Stance 102 starts to feel like a true game-on ski. This ski wants you to open it up and put the pedal to the metal. Racers, start your engines.
FREESKIER tester thoughts:
“Hell of an all-mountain ski. So sturdy going fast but not too stiff that you can’t pop a knoll.”
“Great all-mountain carver with plenty of guts for when you want to step on it.”
