The Salomon Stance 96 is an all-mountain powerhouse ski that gives advanced skiers a smooth, reliable ride in a variety of conditions. Reinforced with two layers of titanal and carbon, the Stance 96 is stiff and responsive and holds up extremely well to hard, fast skiing. With full sidewalls, stiff design, and enough width to handle some powder and plow through chopped up snow, this ski can really lay over on edge and carve trenches in the groomers.

Key Features:

  • Poplar Wood Core – Salomon builds the Stance 96 around a full Poplar wood core to add liveliness and energy to the ski.
  • Carbon and Flax – Salomon uses their signature C/FX material to add more energy and rebound to the skis. This helps balance the stiffness from the metal and create a precise yet maneuverable ski.
  • Double Titanal – Two full layers of Titanal are added through the ski to dramatically increase stiffness, stability at speed, and the precision of the skis. This further improves their carving potential and performance on hard snow.
  • Full Sandwich Sidewalls – Full-length sandwich sidewalls are used to maximize edge grip and create a really smooth carving experience for the skier. This also helps keep the skis strong and long lasting.

The Stance 96 is a great "one-ski-quiver" for directional all-mountain skiers who want a stable, damp, reliable carver that they can grab regardless of conditions. Expert skiers will be pleased with the energy and versatility the Stance provides when compared with other heavy, metal ski options like the Voelkl Mantra or K2 Mindbender. Athletic intermediate skiers will enjoy the... Read more

I picked up a pair of these during the 21-22' season, mostly as a frontside ski out west when conditions were firm. They excel in high-speed, big turns and holding a line through variable or choppy snow thanks to the double layer of titanal in the construction. On the occasional day, I had these, and there was powder. They floated... Read more
Ideal for
  • High speed stability
  • Great edge hold
  • Busting through chop
Not ideal for
  • Not great at shorter radius turns
  • Stiff construction might not be for everybody

Great skis!

Posted on Dec 28, 2023

I knew I wanted skiing gear for the season, but didn’t know anything about the ski gear. Leo walked me through some great options and explained the differences. I really appreciate that he found sales items. On an aesthetic level he made sure things looked like they went together instead of just a random assortment of colors.

Leif was very patient with my picky nature for choosing my first board. He kept sending me really great options! His feedback for the boards were really insightful and the picks for my boots and bindings were perfect! This was a really fun and unique experience. Highly recommend to my friends that I’ll be riding with!

I was looking to purchase a new setup (snowboard, boots, bindings, and googles) for the upcoming season. Everything I have is very worn out. The last time I purchased a new setup was ten years ago, and I did not know where to start. So, I went through the "find your snowboard" quiz and was matched with Mike. From there we were able to really dial in my setup. I can't wait to try it out! Thank you Mike!

I'm getting back into snowboarding after a lonnngg hiatus and Leif knew exactly what I needed for both my skill level and the exact mountain I will be spending time at this winter. I had a pretty small budget considering the cost of gear and he found me a board and bindings way under budget. I was thrilled. I was also delighted that I got a personalized video describing my options. Highly recommended!

Ryan was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I can in knowing nothing about snowboards and I gave him a weird task of trying to find a board that would work for both me and my brother at different weights. I appreciate how happy he was to help and how he kept checking in on me wanting to help.

Jay is Awesome!
5 /5
Jay is very knowledgeable when it comes to snowboards. If you really want to dive into the differences between the materials, and engineering behind snowboards Jay is the guy to get into these conversations with. I’ve been riding for 25 plus years, and at this point in my life, I really appreciate Jay being there to just talk about the different nuances of snowboarding. I feel he was really able to understand the type of riding I like to do, and where i want to take my riding, and made excellent gear recommendations.
