Our Impression of the Salomon Stance 102? It feels more like frontside ripper than a deep snow surfer but after testing them around Killington, Sugarbush, and on a trip to Aspen / Highlands we've determined this is a great one ski quiver for the skier who loves to ski fast but still wants still likes a softer tip that is forgiving enough to make through the bumps and soft enough to still feel float in softer snow.
Salomons review:
Featuring an unrivaled strength-to-weight ratio, the Stance 102 is a directional carver designed to tear up anything the resort throws at it. Two titanal plates run the length of the ski to provide enhanced edge grip and release torsional stiffness for poppy, powerful turns and increased performance in groomed terrain.
Edge grip
When a race inspired sidecut pairs up with double Ti construction the result is confidence inspiring edge grip whether you are laying down a turn on piste or off.
Manuverable and progressive
A progressive frontside sidecut teams up with a full poplar woodcore and C/FX creating unmatched confidence when you're railing a turn on piste or racing through the glades.
Power
Metal Twinframe technology pairs with C/FX and a double Ti laminate to create a damp, hard charging ski that inspires confidence regardless of speed, terrain or conditions.
