About this product
The Salomon MTN 86 Pro Ski (2024, Women's) is a versatile backcountry and all-mountain ski built to handle both resort groomers and off-piste terrain with equal confidence. Its 86mm waist width keeps edge-to-edge transitions quick and responsive, while an 18-meter turn radius (in the 164cm and 172cm lengths) suits a range of conditions from tight tree runs to open bowls. The early-rise tip provides float in variable snow, and camber underfoot delivers reliable edge power on firmer surfaces. A karuba and poplar core balances weight savings with vibration damping, and the sintered base pairs with steel edges for durability and glide. Cap construction keeps the overall weight down to around 2,268 grams. The raised, skin-clip-ready tail locks climbing skins securely in place for uphill travel. Available in 156cm, 164cm, and 172cm lengths in an Aruba Blue, Rainy Day, and Black colorway, with a two-year manufacturer warranty.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Salomon MTN 86 Pro Women's as one of the most capable lightweight touring skis in its class, highlighting its surprisingly damp ride for such a light ski, thanks to the Cork Damplifier. Edge hold on hardpack and steep terrain earns repeated compliments, and the ski's agility makes it easy to maneuver in tight trees or technical lines. The most common criticism is its narrow 86mm waist, which limits flotation in deep powder and makes it better suited to spring corn, firm snow, and East Coast touring than big powder days. Reviewers also note it is not the best choice for aggressive resort carving, as heavier all-mountain skis offer more top-end stability and damping at speed.
