The Salomon MTN 86 Carbon Flat is a unisex alpine touring ski built for efficient climbing, secure edge hold, and carbon-reinforced confidence on steep, firm, and variable backcountry descents.

Lightweight Touring with Hard-Snow Confidence

• 86 mm Waist: A precise touring platform keeps the ski quick and efficient on the ascent while maintaining strong edge control in couloirs, spring snow, and technical terrain.
• Full Karuba Woodcore: Lightweight tip-to-tail wood construction reduces uphill fatigue while preserving rebound, stability, and smooth ski-to-snow contact.
• Carbon Basalt Fiber: Carbon-reinforced construction adds torsional strength and responsiveness without unnecessary weight.
• Cork Damplifier: Cork in the tip helps absorb vibration for a smoother ride in firm, chattery, or variable snow.
• Touring-Ready Flat Build: Sold flat without bindings, giving skiers the freedom to mount their preferred alpine touring setup.
