Salomon

 

Overview -  Made in the same factory as Atomic, and owned by the same company (Amer Sports), Salomon skis have seen exponential improvements in overall quality in the past two or three seasons. The skis are now in the mix at the World Cup  level and the product continues to be refined.

The Salomon Skier – Similar to Fischer, the Salomon product is exceptionally universal and works for a broad range of skiing styles. Both the skate and classic skis tend to be set up a little higher than Fischer and, as a result, feel a little bit more lively.

Salomon Skate Skis

SG (soft conditions) – Designed for glazed or wet new snow, these skis have soft tips combined with a focused pressure distribution. A fairly specific ski designed for specific conditions.

Warm (universal warm) – This model has a short glide surface to reduce suction and improve acceleration. Excellent feeling in higher moisture conditions and an excellent choice as a universal warm ski.

*Cold (universal cold) – This model has a long glide surface to reduce friction in cold, dry conditions. A lively feel combined with excellent stability makes these skis feel slippery under foot.

Salomon Classic Skis­ – Similar to Fischer, the Salmon classic ski pocket is designed to close from the ends and is very position dependant. Staying back on the heel will cause the pocket to remain open, moving the weight forward on the toe will allow it to close. The cold skis feature a wood top sheet to ensure supple feeling in cold conditions.
