Salomon Women's MTN 86 Carbon Skis 2024

The Salomon Women's MTN 86 Carbon Flat is a lightweight alpine touring ski built for women who want efficient uphill travel, confident hard-snow grip, and carbon-reinforced stability for technical backcountry descents.

Efficient on the Climb, Precise on the Descent

• 86 mm Waist: A quick, efficient touring platform keeps the ski light on the skin track while maintaining enough surface area for firm snow, spring corn, wind buff, and variable backcountry conditions.
• Full Karuba Woodcore: Lightweight karuba construction helps reduce uphill fatigue while keeping the ski lively and responsive on the descent.
• Carbon Basalt Fiber: Carbon-reinforced construction adds torsional strength, edge power, and stability without unnecessary weight.
• Cork Damplifier: Cork integrated into the tip helps absorb vibration and smooth out firm or chattery snow.
• Touring-Ready Flat Build: Sold flat without bindings, giving skiers the freedom to mount their preferred alpine touring setup.

Ideal For

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