2025-2026 Salomon Skis Preview

Salomon Skis 2026: The First Look Call us a broken record, but we love the QST line here at the shop. From the nimble and versatile QST 92, to the beloved, freeriding QST 106 and the mega-playful QST 98, there's something for everyone. For the upcoming season, Salomon has redesigned the QST line, along with a few new skis. The bottom line? Salomon doubles down on the unique feel in each model while prioritizing versatility and fun. We dive into the differences, new tech, and our first thoughts from being on snow in our Salomon skis 2026 preview. What's New There's quite a ... Continue Reading

Our Take On The 2025 Salomon Stance 96:

The Salomon Stance 96 is a sleeper favorite at the shop here. It doesn't get the same headlines as some staple models, but we think it skis just as well as its competitors, and always leaves staff with a smile on their face after testing. With two sheets of metal, directional rocker, and an exceptionally versatile waist width, the Stance 96 offers a powerful all-mountain ride for stoked intermediates all the way up to seasoned experts. These skis are more directional and more aggressive than Salomon's more playful QST range and are built for skiers who want their skis to have some serious guts. The directional shape, mellow rocker, and modest taper indicate that the Stance 96 loves to ski fast no matter the snow conditions. That said, the Stance 96 stops short of being a full-blown expert ski. The top sheet of metal features strategic cutouts, which Salomon fills with blended carbon and flax, a mainstay in the QST line. For 2023/2024, Salomon made a few tweaks, like adding additional windows in the metal sheets and a more lively, lighter core. This keeps the skis from being bulky clunkers and won't feel quite as punishing if you slip into the backseat. Rest assured, the changes didn't lose any power. The Stance 96 skis like it's on a mission -- to help you destroy everything in your way. Similar skis: Nordica Enforcer 94, Volkl Mantra M6, K2 Mindbender 99 Ti.
