The 2025 Salomon Stance 80 with M11 GW bindings deliver a robust and versatile performance for skiers who crave stability and precision. Designed for all-mountain use, these skis offer a balanced blend of power and control for advancing skiers while remaining approachable for those who are building their skills.

Why we like it:

The Salomon Stance 80 stands out as a versatile option for skiers looking to progress their skills on trail and begin to explore beyond the groomed terrain. This is a ski that’s accessible for advancing beginners, yet high performance enough for advanced intermediates to enjoy as well.

Who it's for:

The Stance 80 is ideal for advancing beginner to advanced intermediate skiers who are looking for a ski that delivers both performance and versatility on the mountain.

Highlights:

The Salomon Stance 80 features a poplar wood core that brings a nice energy and pop to the feel of the ski. A single layer of Titanal coupled with carbon inserts at the tip and tail makes up the Ti-C frame, which provides a tailored flex for maximum grip on firm snow while maintaining maneuverability in soft snow. A rockered tip and tail, along with a progressive tapered shape, offers the skiers ability to make a variety of turn shapes and makes for an approachable feel that’s perfect for progression.

Things to consider:

Skiers on the advanced side of things will likely find the top end on this ski pretty quickly, and will want to opt for something a bit more high performance. Those who are looking to spend most of their time exploring in soft snow off trail would benefit from a wider option than the Stance 80.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Salomon Stance 80 skis true to size. Skiers looking for more maneuverability can size down.
