About this product

The Salomon MTN 86 Pro Ski (2024, Women's) is built for skiers who move between backcountry touring and resort all-mountain terrain without compromise. Its 86mm waist keeps edge-to-edge transitions quick and responsive, while a turn radius of 17 to 18 meters depending on length suits tight tree lines and open groomers alike. The early-rise tip with camber underfoot balances off-piste float with the edge-driving power needed on firmer snow. A karuba and poplar core keeps the packed weight to around 2,268 grams, pairing meaningful damping with touring-friendly lightness. Construction uses a cap design with fiberglass and cork laminate, a sintered base for durable glide, and steel edges. The raised, skin-clip-ready tail locks climbing skins securely in place for uphill travel. Available in lengths of 156, 164, and 172 cm, with full dimensions ranging from 116 to 120mm tip, 85 to 86mm waist, and 102 to 106mm tail. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Salomon MTN 86 Pro Women's for its impressive balance of ultralight weight and downhill capability, a combination that surprises many testers. The Cork Damplifier is frequently highlighted for keeping the ski notably calm and chatter-free in variable snow and crud, well beyond what its weight class would suggest. Edge hold on hardpack and steep terrain earns strong marks, and the ski is widely described as nimble, quick edge-to-edge, and forgiving for a touring-focused build. The most common criticism is limited flotation in deep powder, as the 86mm waist simply cannot match wider freeride-touring options. Reviewers also note it offers less top-end stability and damping than heavier, freeride-leaning touring skis, and demands attentive technique in refrozen conditions.
