FAQs
Who is the Salomon Stance 80 best suited for?
The Stance 80 is best suited for beginner to intermediate skiers who are looking for a versatile all-mountain ski that offers stability, control, and a lively feel for progressing their skills on various types of terrain.
What type of snow conditions can these skis handle?
These skis are designed for all-mountain conditions, performing well on groomed slopes, in packed powder, and in softer snow found off-piste. They are most at home on resort terrain.
Are the bindings included with the skis?
Yes, the Salomon Stance 80 skis come pre-mounted with the Easytrack M10 GW bindings.
Do I need special boots for the M10 GW bindings?
Yes, the M10 GW bindings are compatible with Alpine ski boots featuring GripWalk (GW) technology. Ensure your boots have the GW logo on the sole.
How does the Titanal reinforcement affect performance?
The single Titanal reinforcement enhances edge grip and energy transfer, providing a more stable and responsive ride, especially when carving turns on firmer snow.
Can an advanced skier enjoy the Stance 80?
While an advanced skier might enjoy the maneuverability and lively feel for lighter days or easier cruising, the Stance 80 is primarily designed for intermediate skiers. Advanced skiers seeking maximum performance at high speeds or in challenging off-piste conditions may find its construction limiting.
What is the main advantage of the Poplar Woodcore?
The Poplar Woodcore provides a balance of liveliness and forgiveness. It allows the ski to be energetic and responsive while remaining stable and easy to control, which is ideal for skiers looking to improve.
Troubleshooting
Skis feel unstable at higher speeds
Ensure bindings are correctly adjusted. Consider that these skis are optimized for intermediate skiers; advanced skiers may require a ski with more metal or a stiffer construction for high-speed stability.
Difficulty initiating turns
Check that your boots are properly secured and that the binding release settings are appropriate for your weight, height, and ability level. Ensure the ski bases are clean and waxed.
Edges not gripping on hard snow
Inspect the steel edges for damage or dullness. Professional tuning or sharpening may be required. Ensure you are applying sufficient pressure through the turn.
Ski tips feel 'flappy' or unpredictable
This can sometimes occur in choppy snow. Ensure you are maintaining a balanced stance over the center of the skis. If the issue persists, it might indicate the limits of the ski's construction for certain conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Salomon Stance 80 comes with the Easytrack M10 GW binding system. This system is designed for straightforward adjustment. Ensure the bindings are mounted and adjusted by a qualified ski technician to match your boot sole length and skiing ability. The Easytrak plate system allows for quick adjustments if you need to switch between different boot sizes or share skis.
Compatibility:
These skis are compatible with Alpine ski boots that feature GripWalk (GW) technology, indicated by the GW logo on the boot sole. Always ensure your boot sole is clean before mounting bindings. They are designed for all-mountain use, suitable for groomed runs, packed powder, and some softer snow conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the skis with a soft, damp cloth to remove snow, ice, and dirt. Pay attention to the edges and base.
- Drying: Allow the skis to air dry completely before storing them. Avoid leaving them in a hot car or direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Storage: Store skis in a cool, dry place, ideally in a ski bag. Ensure they are not placed under heavy objects that could warp them. Apply a thin layer of storage wax to the bases during the off-season to protect them from drying out.
- Edge & Base Maintenance: Regularly inspect the steel edges for any nicks or burrs. A ski tuning tool can be used for minor edge touch-ups. Similarly, check the bases for scratches or damage. Periodic waxing by a professional or a skilled DIYer will maintain base glide and protection.
