FAQs
What is the ideal skier level for the Salomon Stance 80?
This ski is best suited for intermediate skiers who have developed a solid foundation of turning and control and are looking to progress their skills further across varied terrain.
How does the Stance 80 perform in powder?
While its narrower waist provides agility on firm snow, it offers moderate flotation in powder compared to wider skis. It can handle lighter powder days but may sink more in deep conditions.
Are the included bindings easy to use?
Yes, the Easytrak M10 GW bindings are designed for ease of use with modern ski boots and provide a secure, reliable connection for performance skiing.
What type of snow conditions is this ski best for?
The Stance 80 is highly versatile and performs well on groomed slopes, hardpack, and variable snow conditions like crud or chop. It's an excellent all-mountain ski for mixed conditions.
Can I use my existing ski boots with these bindings?
The Easytrak M10 GW bindings are compatible with GripWalk (GW) boot soles, which are standard on most modern ski boots. It's always best to confirm your boot sole compatibility.
How important is professional binding adjustment?
It is critically important for safety and performance. A certified technician will ensure the bindings are set to your specific weight, height, age, and skier type, which affects release values.
Troubleshooting
Ski feels unstable at higher speeds
Ensure bindings are properly adjusted and that ski edges are sharp. Check for any base damage that might affect glide.
Difficulty initiating turns
Confirm binding forward pressure is set correctly. Practice turn initiation drills on groomed terrain to get a feel for the ski's profile.
Ski chatter on hard snow
This can be reduced by ensuring the edges are well-tuned. Also, try to ski with a smoother, more consistent pressure on the ski.
Bindings do not release properly
This is a critical safety issue. Immediately stop skiing and have the bindings inspected and serviced by a certified technician. Do not attempt to adjust them yourself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The skis come pre-mounted with Easytrak M10 GW bindings, simplifying the setup process. For optimal performance, ensure the bindings are adjusted by a certified technician to match your boot sole length and DIN setting. This is crucial for safety and efficient power transfer.
Compatibility: The included bindings are compatible with GripWalk (GW) boot soles, which are standard on most modern ski boots. Always confirm compatibility with your specific ski boots before use.
Care: After each use, wipe down the skis with a clean, dry cloth to remove snow and moisture, which helps prevent rust on the edges and damage to the base. Store skis in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Periodic waxing and edge sharpening by a ski technician will maintain optimal performance. Ensure bindings are clear of debris before each use.
