What the model says

Carve radius, to scale

  • Sidecut radius: 15 m
  • Carve radius at 30° edge: 13 m
  • Carve radius at 45° edge: 10.6 m
All three drawn on one scale, from the same starting point. A smaller arc is a tighter turn.

Edge hold and float

  • Edge hold: 100%, Holds well
  • Float: 23%, Sinks
Ticks mark where the word changes. For 90 kg at 177 cm: hold on groomed snow, float in powder. Model figures, not measurements.

These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).

By ability

The Salomon STANCE 80 at 177 cm for a 90 kg skier on groomed snow. Reviewers are mostly experts, so read the left of each band for what most skiers get.

Edge hold

On firm snow, 177 cm
  • First-timer: slides (19%)
  • Beginner: slides (41%)
  • Intermediate: on the limit (70%), assumed level
  • Advanced: holds well (95%)
  • Expert: holds well (100%)
assumed intermediate: on the limit (70%)

Float

In soft snow
  • First-timer: sinks (18%)
  • Beginner: sinks (19%)
  • Intermediate: sinks (20%), assumed level
  • Advanced: sinks (21%)
  • Expert: sinks (23%)
assumed intermediate: sinks (20%)

Ease

How forgiving it is
  • First-timer: hard (0%)
  • Beginner: hard (36%)
  • Intermediate: easy (86%), assumed level
  • Advanced: easy (100%)
  • Expert: easy (100%)
assumed intermediate: easy (86%)

Our model, run with working assumptions about how each level skis (edge angle, speed, how much weight reaches the edge). Not measurements. The marked cell assumes an intermediate skier; compare with your own details to see your own level.

    2026 Salomon Stance 80 - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review

    SkiEssentials · 8 Aug 2025 · 177 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2026 model.

    The Salomon Stance 80 returns structurally unchanged with an updated topsheet. Featuring a poplar wood core, Ti-C frame, and durable cap construction, it targets beginners through intermediate skiers. It offers smooth, predictable performance on groomed terrain and modest off-piste capabilities, though it lacks the top-end stability and edge hold required for high speeds or aggressive skiing on icy slopes.

    2022 Salomon Stance 80 - SkiEssentials.com Ski Test

    SkiEssentials · 24 Aug 2021

    Reviewed as the 2022 model.

    The Salomon Stance 80 is an approachable, versatile frontside ski tailored toward beginner to intermediate skiers working on carving fundamentals. Featuring a poplar wood core, single titanal sheet with carbon cutaways, and generous camber, it keeps swing weight low while offering responsive energy out of turns. Subtle tip and tail rocker make edge engagement smooth and release effortless, offering a forgiving, value-packed ride on groomed trails.
