2026 Stockli Stormrider 95 Skis with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings
The 2026 Stöckli Stormrider 95 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings brings top-tier all-mountain performance in a refined, high-performance package. Sitting right in the sweet spot of versatility, this directional freeride ski blends elite-level carving prowess with enough width and maneuverability to float through soft snow and navigate off-trail terrain with confidence. With subtle construction updates for 2026 and a binding to match its pedigree, this ski continues to set the standard for premium all-mountain performance. We paired the ski with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.
Why we like it:
This ski doesn’t just look premium—it skis that way too. The Stormrider 95 brings a remarkably smooth, composed feel whether you're carving corduroy or threading glades, and the small refinements for 2026 make it even better.
Who it's for:
Best suited to advanced and expert skiers, though progressing intermediates shouldn’t count themselves out. If you’re after one ski that blends hard-snow precision with freeride stability, this setup is your one-ski quiver.
Highlights:
The 2026 model keeps the trusted shape, dimensions, and profile of the previous version, but incorporates key refinements that boost glide and dampness. A new graphite-infused base enhances speed and efficiency across snow types, while a rubber insert in the tip reduces vibration for a smoother, more composed ride. Stöckli’s lightweight wood core and Titanal laminates provide rock-solid edge hold and quiet power. A scratch-resistant transparent topsheet protects the aesthetic and keeps your setup looking sharp season after season. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission
Things to consider:
The Stormrider 95 is a directional, hard-charging ski—it’s not built for playful skiing, buttering, or park laps. Skiers who prefer a looser, more center-mounted feel will want to look elsewhere. Also, like all Stöckli skis, craftsmanship comes at a premium—this ski is as refined in price as it is in build.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These skis run true to size. Advanced and expert skiers can go with their regular length. If you’re an advancing intermediate or looking for more maneuverability and forgiveness, sizing down may be the smarter call.
