The new Salomon XW Storm is a true performance ski that delivers SPEED and EDGE GRIP while still FUN & easy to ski, especially to initiate.
The side cut and wider shovel make the XW Storm stable and secure feeling even at warp speed. Ski them hard and they come alive delivering plenty of beef for even the most talented skiers.
A solid feel (wood core) with great Cruising capabilities. Medium radius are the default turn shape, while just enough taper facilitates varied turn shapes, even snappy short radius arcs, with smooth, easy transitions.
Initiation is deliberate and the Storm goes where you choose, without drifting out of the turn. Salomon’s Storm is a staff favourite, achieving some of the highest marks in every category. The Storm does not feel too wide, and that extra brawn helps them crash through everything in their path. Combine this with great edge grip and the new Storm is a winner for “full tilt boogie” addicts that ski everything and want a lighter feeling weapon.
