Stockli Stormrider 108 Skis - 2027

The 2027 Stockli Stormrider 108 is a deep-snow freeride ski, 108 mm at the waist and the first 108 in the Stormrider line. Stockli developed it with freeride pro Maxime Chabloz for demanding off-piste skiing: high drops, deep turns, and lines that need both float and composure. It measures 137-108-129 mm in every length and comes in 174, 180, 186 and 192 cm.

The construction pulls in two directions on purpose. A double-Titanal layup (Titec Pro) over a poplar, beech and paulownia Freeride Core keeps the ski quiet and on course when terrain gets rough — the trait people pay Stöckli for. Against that, a fiberglass pre-preg laminate and the light polymer Freeride Tail keep it loose enough to release and pivot. Up front, the Big Powder Rocker carries a long, pronounced tip rise that Stöckli credits with "massive lift" in deep snow. The shape is the surprise: a turn radius of 14.9 to 19.6 m depending on length, tight for a ski this wide.

It suits advanced and expert skiers whose season lives off-piste: trees, ravines, open faces on storm days. It is not the pick if your days are mainly groomed or firm — within the same family, the Stormrider 95 is the ski Stöckli positions for combined on- and off-piste use. There is no length under 174 cm. And with a double-Titanal build and alpine binding options, it is not a touring platform; Stöckli's touring line is Edge.

The Stormrider 108 is sold flat, without bindings. Stöckli's workbook lists Marker Griffon options for it — bring your boots and we will help you choose a binding, get the length right, and mount it.
