Stockli Nela 96 Skis

This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

Powder7 Staff Pick Annabelle M
By: Annabelle M
Yesterday, I found my Strava post from the first time I skied the Stockli Nela 96, which wa titled "call me a Stockli girl because I'm in love with the Nela 96." That was over a year ago, and it still rings true. It is confidence inspiring on firm snow, supportive through bumps, and smooth like every Stockli should be. The new topsheets only made me fall more in love with them (pink ski gang!). I'm 5'7", 125 lbs without gear, and I have loved the 164cm. I usually ski a ski closer to 170cm, but it has a long effective edge compared to skis with more rocker and is impressively stable in its construction. I haven't felt the need to go longer yet, and it's nice to have a ski a little shorter for tighter terrain (think moguls or packed early season groomers). And because everyone asks, yes, if it's in your budget, it's worth the price tag!

2024-2025 Stockli Skis Preview

Stockli Skis 2025: First Look Classic updates. Swiss-made Stockli skis hardly need an introduction. They're repeatedly some of our favorites for balancing skiability and performance. We're hard-pressed to find gear that rides as smooth and stable in all snow conditions, with a wide range of skill levels that can hop on the ski and have a good time (looking at you, Stormrider 95). This year, Stockli updated a few select products to further develop that skiability, without losing the Stockli performance we expect. We dive into the details in our Stockli skis 2025 preview. ...

Our Take On The 2026 Stockli Nela 96:

The Stockli Nela 96 is smooth, like Merlot, Brie, and Norah Jones melodies. And like all of those things, once you have a little bit of the Nela 96, you want more. The 96 is the widest ski in the line and the best match for intermediate through expert skiers who ski like mom cooks: a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Glide groomers, slay stashes, burn bumps, part powder...all before lunch. These skis are built with a super lightweight wood core that features a women-specific flex pattern, consistent throughout every type of turn. Stockli signatures, like a glass laminate and brushed titanal topsheet, add enough muscle and power for handling chopped up snow or crud. That plush profile leads to predictable performance, whether you are cruising around with the kids or beating the boys to beers. Our ski testers consistently love the Nela 96 season after season, and we are thinking you will agree with them. Similar skis: Salomon Stance 94 W, Volkl Secret 96, Kastle FX 96.
