Salomon MTN 96 Carbon (Backcountry Touring Ski 2022/2023)

Engineered so it’s light enough for easy touring, yet wide enough for outstanding free touring, the MTN 96 CARBON moves downhill as effectively as it climbs up. Combining all the strengths of Salomon’s iconic MTN 95, it has an alpine shape and a more lightweight, carbon construction. Sustainably made, it is an environmentally friendly choice.

Touring efficiency
The lightest wide touring ski Salomon ever made is carbon-reinforced to minimize uphill effort, and leave you with more energy to go beyond your comfort zone on the way down.

Uncompromised descent
Salomon’s exclusive Cork Damplifier is visibly integrated into the tip of the ski. It filters terrain vibrations and creates a more stable ski no matter the snow conditions.

More sustainable
Made to last with up to 40% sustainable materials, this ski is part of Salomon’s untiring sustainability efforts aimed at minimizing our product’s impact on the environment.

Cork Damplifier
Cork is three times more absorbing than Koroyd. Using it in the tip of the ski enables a high level of vibration absorption and dampening with even less weight.

Full Sandwich Sidewalls
Full Sandwich Sidewalls guarantees stability and precision, it enhances performance by providing good edge grip and smooth ski-to-snow contact.

Ti Binding Reinforcement
A titanal insert edge-to-edge underfoot, running throughout the ski, for maximal power and increased hard snow edging.

At the 2022/2023 WorldSkitest the skis in the category „Touring Men 2 - 90 to 97mm“ were closely evaluated. Tester’s opinion: "The successor to the legendary "MTN 95" stands out from the competition and leaves a very good overall impression with sensational values. The "Salomon MTN 96" definitely leaves nothing to be desired and proves to be the ideal partner for unforgettable ski tours. The handling of the skins was particularly praised."
