Salomon MTN 86 Pro Skis 2025

The Salomon MTN 86 Pro Flat is a lightweight unisex alpine touring ski built for efficient climbs, confident edge hold, and smooth technical descents in firm, steep, and variable backcountry conditions.

Lightweight Touring with Downhill Precision

• 86 mm Waist: A fast, efficient touring width keeps the ski light on the skin track while delivering dependable grip in couloirs, spring snow, wind buff, and firm alpine terrain.
• Karuba / Poplar Full Woodcore: Lightweight wood construction balances uphill efficiency with reliable downhill support and smooth ski-to-snow contact.
• Cork Damplifier: Cork in the tip helps reduce vibration and chatter when conditions turn firm, refrozen, or inconsistent.
• Full Sandwich Sidewalls: Sidewall construction improves edge hold, precision, and power transfer on technical descents.
• Touring Skin Features: Race-notched tips and a notched tail make skin transitions faster and cleaner in the backcountry.

Ideal For

Best for intermediate to advanced touring skiers who want a light ski for long approaches, dawn patrols, spring missions, volcano objectives, and technical descents where edge hold matters. The MTN 86 Pro is a strong choice for skiers who value uphill efficiency but still want a damp, confidence-building ride on the way down.
