Stance 80 + M10 GW

The 2027 Salomon Stance 80 + M10 GW is the narrowest ski in the Stance family, aimed at skiers who spend most of their time on groomers but want to explore bumps, edges and easy off-piste routes. Its 80 mm waist changes edges quickly and keeps the package approachable, while the all-mountain rocker-camber-rocker profile takes some bite out of uneven snow. The supplied M10 binding and Easytrak plate make this a ready-to-ski system for a progressing skier.

A full poplar woodcore gives the Stance 80 a lively platform with predictable snow contact, and the single titanal insert adds pressure transfer and grip without the demanding feel of a heavier metal ski. Salomon's Ti-C Frame uses metal through the central working area while reducing mass toward the extremities, which helps the ski feel lighter when initiating short turns. Semi-sandwich sidewalls support edge engagement, and the 15% tip and 12% tail rocker make release easier when a turn gets crowded or the surface becomes broken.

Choose it for a beginner to intermediate skier who values groomed-snow control, quick steering and a supportive platform for improving technique. It suits hard-to-mixed resort conditions and occasional easy terrain excursions. Its narrow waist limits flotation in deeper snow, and a more aggressive skier will find the forgiving build less composed at high speed than a stronger ski. This package favors steady progression and short to medium turns over charging through rough snow.
