About this product

The Salomon MTN 86 Carbon is a freeride and alpine touring ski designed for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a capable, lightweight setup for backcountry objectives. Its construction centers on a Karuba wood core, one of the lightest options in ski building, paired with a carbon basalt fiber laminate that delivers a snappy, responsive feel without excess weight. Titanal reinforcement underfoot improves edge hold and power transfer on firm or icy snow, while cork damping in the tip and tail smooths vibration on variable terrain. The rocker-camber-rocker profile helps the ski float in powder and grip on hardpack, making it a practical quiver-of-one for full mountain days. Full sandwich sidewalls contribute to consistent snow contact across conditions. Available in five lengths from 148 cm to 180 cm, with an 86 mm waist and turn radii ranging from 17 m to 19 m depending on length, the ski covers a versatile range of freeride and touring applications. The sintered base is made from 100 percent recycled material, and the packed weight starts at approximately 1,814 grams. A two-year manufacturer warranty is included.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Salomon MTN 86 Carbon for its exceptional uphill efficiency, noting it climbs fast without feeling flimsy on the descent. The cork tip damper earns repeated mention for taming the chatter typical of carbon builds, resulting in a calmer, more composed ride than many rivals. Hard-snow edge hold and stability on steep, firm terrain are also frequently highlighted strengths. The ski is widely considered best suited to intermediate and advanced tourers. The most common criticism is limited flotation in deep powder, with multiple reviewers noting that 86 mm underfoot has clear limits in soft snow. A minor recurring note is that the recycled base may require slightly more frequent waxing than conventional bases.
