Touring Ski Salomon MTN 96 CARBON 2023

Information provided by Salomon:

Light enough to make climbing easy but wide enough to enjoy freeriding, the MTN 96 CARBON performs equally well on the uphill and downhill. Incorporating all the strengths of Salomon's iconic MTN 95, it has an alpine-like sidecut combined with a lighter carbon construction. Made of sustainable materials, this model is also more environmentally friendly.

Climbing efficiency
The lightest of our wide touring skis has carbon reinforcements to minimize effort on the uphill and save energy so you can push your limits on the downhill.

Uncompromising downhill performance
Salomon's exclusive Cork Damplifier in the tip of the ski absorbs terrain vibrations and improves stability on all types of snow.

More environmentally friendly
Focused on durability and made of 40% environmentally friendly materials, this ski embodies Salomon's commitment to minimizing the ecological impact of products.

Sportmania Opinion:
With its new line of touring skis, Salomon does not disappoint. This MTN 96 Carb is an excellent ski combining lightness and performance in the descent. Salomon's goal was to have the best skiability while trying to be as efficient as possible on the ascent, we can say that they did not go by four paths! The lightness was obtained thanks to a huge work on materials around a full karuba core, with a mix of glass fibers, carbon fibers, basalt fibers, nylon, and even cork for the tips (not put on the 80mm). For comparison, the scale shows 150g less between the old MTN 95 and the new MTN CARBON 96.
