The 2026 Salomon Stance 80 W with M10 GW bindings is a frontside-focused all-mountain ski designed to offer intermediate to advanced women skiers confidence-inspiring edge grip and a smooth, intuitive ride. With an accessible flex, a touch of Titanal, and subtle tip and tail rocker, this ski offers plenty of stability without being overly demanding.

Why we like it:

The Stance 80 W strikes an ideal balance between composure and approachability. It’s smooth and secure on edge but easy to release and pivot when needed.

Who it's for:

Best for intermediate to more mellow advanced women skiers who spend most of their time on groomers but want the versatility to explore variable terrain. Ideal for East Coast all-mountain skiers or anyone prioritizing hardpack performance.

Highlights:

Salomon’s Ti-C Frame combines a Single Ti laminate underfoot with a poplar wood core, delivering just the right amount of power and vibration damping. Carbon inserts in the tip and tail help reduce swing weight for easy pivoting, and the rocker profile and tapered shape enhances turn initiation and exit. A brushed topsheet and recycled base add both durability and a nod to sustainability.

Things to consider:

This ski leans toward the frontside end of the all-mountain category. Skiers seeking deep snow performance or highly playful freeride traits will want something wider or more surfy.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. Size down for lighter or newer skiers, or go longer for additional stability and edge hold if you’re looking for performance at speed.
