About this product
The Salomon MTN 86 Pro Ski (2024, Women's) is a versatile backcountry and all-mountain ski built around an 86mm waist width that keeps edge-to-edge transitions quick and responsive. Available in three lengths (156cm, 164cm, and 172cm), it carries a turn radius of 17 to 18 meters depending on length, with full dimensions ranging from 116/86/102mm at 156cm up to 120/86/106mm at 172cm. The early-rise tip combined with camber underfoot gives the ski float in variable off-piste snow while still delivering firm edge power on groomed terrain. A karuba and poplar core balances weight savings with vibration damping, and the sintered base pairs with steel edges for durability and glide. Cork and fiberglass laminates round out the cap construction. The raised, skin-clip-ready tail keeps climbing skins securely in place during uphill travel. The 164cm length comes in at a claimed weight of approximately 2,268 grams (5 lb). A two-year manufacturer warranty is included. Colorway is Aruba Blue/Rainy Day/Black.

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.
