2026 Salomon Stance Pro 90

The 2026 Salomon Stance Pro 90 gets a new name and graphic but otherwise returns unchanged. These skis continue to provide solid and energetic all-mountain performance for skiers who are at the advanced and expert level. This ski moves seamlessly from bumps to groomers, through the trees, and over the crud. It’s incredibly versatile and works great for skiers like us here in Vermont who are looking for one ski that can check a lot of boxes and be totally useful most days of the winter.

Built with a blend of karuba and poplar wood in the core, the Stance Pro 90 has a nice mix of energy and smoothness. It’s pretty light for having two sheets of metal as well, with the top titanal layer containing a mix of carbon and basalt in milled out sections of the forebody and through the tail. This adds energy and rebound while keeping the damping to a maximum level. In the 182, Salomon states a weight of 1800 grams, allowing for increased energy and agility while still having multiple metal laminates for smooth and damp power. It’s not overly stiff, but it is very supportive for aggressive skiing. Tester Jameson Halnon notes that “this did feel fairly versatile. It’s possible that it’s trying to do too many things. I would take this gladly down some soft/loose playful areas and it would be fine for groomers but not a bulletproof day.”

At 90 mm underfoot, the skis are highly useful for mixing on and off-trail snow conditions and terrain, but it does seem like it likes groomers a whole lot and the versatility takes a bit more effort. The Stance Pro 90 uses sidecut measurements of 128/90/110 mm in the 182 to generate a 19-meter turn radius. There’s a bit of rocker here in the tips and tails; Salomon states 16% in the tips and 12% in the tails, and it feels about right—nice and even throughout contributing to a consistent overall feel and flex. This makes it great in bumps and packed out trees, but isn’t quite as playful in deeper snow—the edges like to be engaged in the process.

This ski works great on the feet of advanced and expert skiers. There’s a bit of an intermediate application here, especially if you size down, but in general, the flex and the power of the ski works better for more experienced skiers. 90 mm is a great place to be for pure all-mountain skiing and if you like the traditional feel of a directional ski, the Stance Pro 90 is an awesome choice.
