Overview
The Salomon Stance Pro 82 + MI12 GW is a frontside-focused all-mountain ski for skiers who enjoy quick, clean turns on groomers and still explore bumps and changing resort terrain. Its 82 mm waist favors fast edge changes over deep-snow flotation. The shape, construction and graphics carry into 2027 unchanged, according to the exact-year SkiEssentials test. This version includes the MI12 GW system binding.
A full poplar core supplies an elastic, supportive platform. Powerflex Ti concentrates metal reinforcement through the center, adding edge support while leaving the ends easier to redirect than a full-length metal charger. Full sandwich sidewalls transmit pressure to the edges. The wide steel edge adds material for repeated tuning, while 15% tip and 12% tail rocker ease release around the camber underfoot. Testers describe crisp, engaging carving and useful handling in bumps and crud, with a preference for skiing on an edge rather than running flat at speed.
Choose it for a strong intermediate through expert skier who spends most days on prepared snow and wants some freedom to explore softer edges of the run. Its quickness and support suit an active, directional style. The narrower platform provides less lift in powder than a wider freeride ski, and a softer ski is a different choice for relaxed drifting. Length changes the radius from 11 to 16 metres across the available range; the longest option favors more room to open the turn.
Construction & features
What the Stance Pro 82 + MI12 GW is built from, and what that means on snow.
- 01
Full Poplar Woodcore
The full poplar core gives the ski a stable, energetic flex and consistent contact through a turn.
- 02
Powerflex Ti reinforcement
Powerflex Ti concentrates metal support through the middle of the ski for torsional strength and edge hold without making the whole ski sluggish.
- 03
Full Sandwich Sidewall
Full sandwich sidewalls transfer edging force directly into the steel edges for precise groomer turns.
- 04
Wide Steel Edge [2 mm]
A 2 mm wide steel edge provides more material for repeated tuning, improving service life without making edge width itself a grip claim.
- 05
15%/12% rocker-camber-rocker
Moderate rocker at the tip and tail helps release a turn and handle bumps while camber underfoot preserves grip.
- 06
MI12 GW binding system
