Stance Pro W 82 + MI11 GW

The Salomon Stance Pro W 82 + MI11 GW is a narrow all-mountain ski for women who enjoy carving groomers but still want a manageable platform for bumps and variable resort snow. Its 82 mm waist sits between a dedicated piste tool and a wider freeride ski, emphasizing quick redirection over powder flotation. The 2027 SkiEssentials test confirms that the shape, build, profile and graphics carry over. This package includes the MI11 GW system binding.

A full poplar core provides elastic support, while Powerflex Ti adds metal reinforcement through the central section without using a full-width metal sheet from tip to tail. Full sandwich sidewalls transmit edging pressure, and the wide steel edge supplies more material for tuning. Rocker at the tip and tail helps the ski release around its cambered middle. Testers found ample grip and a dense, stable feel, with quick transitions and useful handling in bumps and low-angle trees; some also reported chatter on icy snow.

Choose it for an intermediate through expert skier who values energetic turns on firm and mixed resort terrain. The three offered lengths span 11–14 metre radii, so the shorter sizes keep the turning brief especially compact. It gives up flotation when the snow gets deep, and its supportive flex rewards more technique than a soft learning ski. The MI11 GW binding has a 3.5–11 DIN range; published ski weights exclude that binding.
