About this product

The Salomon MTN 96 Carbon is a backcountry ski built around a 96mm waist that strikes a practical balance between flotation in soft snow and the agility needed in tighter terrain. Available in three lengths (166, 174, and 182 cm), the ski uses a karuba wood core to keep weight low, with the 174 cm version coming in at around 1,390 g per ski, making long tours more manageable. A rocker/camber/rocker profile promotes float on the way up and reliable edge hold on the descent, while fiberglass laminate in a sandwich construction adds torsional stiffness and durability. Turn radius ranges from 16 m at 166 cm to 19 m at 182 cm, suiting short to medium arcs in variable backcountry conditions. The flat tail aids stability on steep pitches and kick turns, and the carbon skin tail clip speeds up skin transitions. A sintered base rounds out the package for efficient glide across packed and variable snow surfaces. The ski carries a two-year manufacturer warranty.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the 2026 Salomon MTN 96 Carbon as an exceptionally versatile "quiver of one" AT ski, earning high marks for its balance of uphill efficiency and genuine downhill performance. The karuba core combined with carbon construction and cork damplifier tip is widely credited for delivering surprising dampness and stability for its weight class, with strong edge hold on firm snow. Expert testers highlight its all-terrain rocker profile and low swing weight as assets in trees and variable conditions. The most common criticism is that in heavy resort chop or at high speeds, a heavier 50/50 ski is noticeably calmer. Pure weight-focused tourers may also find it slightly too heavy compared to ultralight alternatives in the 95mm class.
