The Stockli Montero AR is back and better than ever for 2026, sporting a refined construction that improves overall control and enhances the skier experience. This versatile frontside-oriented all-mountain ski packs a punch, giving piste skiers a high performance and versatile ski that exudes smoothness and precision at every turn, features we’ve come to expect from a Stockli.

Why we like it:

The precise and high end feel of a Stockli is hard to beat, and at 84 mm underfoot, the Montero AR has the added bonus of all-mountain versatility.

Who it's for:

The Montero AR is designed for advanced to expert skiers who appreciate a ski that excels in carving on hardpack while also offering maneuverability and flotation in softer snow.

Highlights:

The Montero AR is built using a Poplar and Beech wood core, which combines strength and liveliness for a powerful and energetic flex. Titanal makes its usual appearance here, adding torsional stiffness for superb grip on hardpack along with dampness to ensure a smooth feel through every turn. In 2025, Stockli has implemented Tip and Tail Flex, a cutout in the Titanal which allows the tip and tail of the ski to articulate, making it easier to initiate and exit out of a turn.

Things to consider:

The Montero AR distinguishes itself from the Montero AX in two major ways: first, the waist on the AR is wider at 84 mm, providing more float and control in softer snow. Second, the turning radius of the AR is longer than that of the AX, giving the AX a more turny character and quickness edge to edge. The Montero AR likes to go fast and make wider, longer, arcing turns, while the AX prefers a more moderate pace and shorter turns.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
