Product Info
When it comes to pure touring skis, it's always hard to figure out just the right balance to strike. The better they are for the uphill, usually the worse the are on the way down. The Salomon MTN 96 Carbon Skis are here to put your worries to bed, and get your feet on the trail. These ultralight skis are made with long days of skinning in mind. They weigh in at under 1400 grams per ski, and have specialized carbon fittings to make sure your skin clips are never slipping. But don't think of them as some chattery carbon ski. The comfortable 100ish waist width is wide enough to make its way through some questionable backcountry snow, and the Cork Damplifiers keep the ride smooth, even when you're charging hard.
Product Details
Rocker Type
All-Terrain Rocker
Core
Karuba Full Woodcore – A woodcore from tip to tail offers optimum stability on snow and powerful rebound. Maximizes ski-to-snow contact and filters vibrations. Karuba is one of the lightest woods available for ski construction.
Laminates
Cork Damplifier – Cork is 16 times more absorptive than Koroyd. Using it in the tip and/or tail of the ski enables a high level of vibration absorption and dampening while decreasing weight.

Terrain
Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.
