Backcountry Skis

Get more backcountry access. Lightweight for less effort going up, stable and predictable for confidence descending. MTN EXPLORE 88 delivers this combination with a 3D Spaceframe construction and a C/FX reinforcement. Go get your adventures. Downhill performance - C/FX Carbon and flax laminate delivers power and stability like metal, at a fraction of the weight. It delivers a smooth ride in the varying terrains of the backcountry. Touring efficiency - Spaceframe 2.0 is less material in key areas along the length of the ski that reduces overall weight for easier ascents. Stability - Pre-shaped 3D Karuba woodcore ensures great ski-to-snow contact and reduces vibrations, with less weight. 3D Karuba full Woodcore - The pre-shaped 3D full Karuba Woodcore provides stability and control while reducing weight. Ti Binding Reinforcement - A titanal insert edge-to-edge underfoot, running throughout the ski, for maximal power and increased hard snow edging. C/FX - C/FX is a unique fiber layer consisting of Carbon and Flax woven together, running tip-to-tail. It combines the incredible strength, stability and minimal weight of carbon fiber with the increased level of dampening and vibration absorption of the flax. It's patented and exclusive to Salomon. Koroyd Tip - More float, less flop. Super light honeycomb/Koroyd Tip insert, reinforced with ABS. Less weight at the extremities with increased dampening from Koroyd dramatically increases maneuverability and ease of steering on rockered skis. Skin Tail Clip - Precut notch in the tail of the ski allows quick, easy and secure attachment of climbing skins.

The Ripstick 94 W is perfect for any adventure; front side, back side, chutes, steeps, trees and even the backcountry. You can trust this ski is the right choice, no matter the conditions. Ripstick 94 W packs a ton of punch in a considerably lightweight package. It is the ultimate freeride set up for the softest, deepest conditions to the most variable, mixed terrain found on the mountain. Sitting pretty at a versatile 94mm waist, it’s wide enough to handle powder, yet narrow enough to lay trenches on the groomers. Upgraded with Elan’s most advanced asymmetrical technology, Amphibio Carbon Line, carbon rods are inserted into the extremely lightweight wood core for an exceptionally damp and stable platform that is amplified with strategically placed carbon reinforcements over the edges of the skis to power every turn with precision and perfection. Get ready for silky smooth performance across the entire mountain.

The Zero G 95 has a first descent on the world's highest, biggest line—the Lhotse Couloir in Nepal's Himalayas. Ski mountaineers Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison requested Blizzard's Zero G 95 when they set out to summit the 27,940-foot-peak, and indeed, the skis got the pair down safely—not to mention the high-altitude pow turns they scored! Your backcountry adventure may be closer to home, but you can still reap the benefits of Austrian engineering that delivers the best downhill performance for the weight. Carbon Drive 2.0 paired with an ultra-light paulownia woodcore ensure efficiency on the skin track, while maintaining strength, a solid edge grip, and a stable feel for the descent.

Cut from the same cloth as its big sister, the Trace 98 touts the same lightweight prowess with the increased maneuverability you need to slash every nook and cranny of your line. Built with the backcountry journey woman in mind, the 98 features metal-reinforced binding pads to absorb bumps and vibrations and provide a little extra security when looking for fresh snow beyond resort boundaries.
