Product Info

It wasn't that long ago that 88 millimeters underfoot was considered a "fat" ski, especially in the touring world. No longer. The Salomon MTN Explore 88 Skis are the narrowest in Salomon's new MTN series of skis designed to enable multi-day trips and big objectives without giving up too much in the descending department. The Explore 88 is light enough for all but the most extreme of days, but also rocks at speed and on icy steeps. The addition of Salomon's new wonder material, CFX Superfiber, with its carbon and flax weave is a big reason why. When you're going long and dropping big and a wimpy light ski just won't cut it, the Salomon MTN Explore 88 is the perfect tool.
