Choose by Waist Width, Terrain and Snow Depth
The Stormrider collection moves from all-mountain versatility toward deeper-snow freeride performance as waist width increases. The Stormrider 88 is the narrowest and most piste-friendly choice, with quick handling and strong mixed-terrain capability. The Stormrider 95 adds more float while preserving useful groomed-snow performance.
The Stormrider 102 is aimed more directly at experienced freeride skiers who want stability and lift in demanding off-piste conditions. The new Stormrider 108, developed with freeride professional Maxime Chabloz, is the deepest-snow specialist with Big Powder Rocker, Freeride Tail and a wide 108 mm platform.

The Stormrider 95 offers the broadest balance between groomed-snow performance, mixed-terrain versatility and freeride float. The narrower 88 is more piste-focused, while the 102 and 108 move progressively farther toward deep-snow use.
What is the difference between the Stormrider 88 and 95?

What is the difference between the Stormrider 95 and 102?
The 95 is the more balanced all-mountain choice. The 102 adds width, Big Powder Rocker and longer radii for deeper snow, more float and a more dedicated freeride character.
What is the difference between the Stormrider 102 and 108?
The 108 is six millimeters wider underfoot and uses a 137-108-129 geometry. It is the most powder-focused model and was developed with freeride professional Maxime Chabloz. The 102 is still a serious freeride ski but offers a somewhat narrower, more versatile platform.
Which Stormrider is best for groomed slopes?

The Stormrider 108 is the deepest-snow specialist. Its 108 mm waist, Big Powder Rocker and Freeride Tail are designed for maximum lift and maneuverability in powder.
Do all four Stormrider models use the same core?
Yes. The official workbook lists the Freeride Core made from poplar, beech and paulownia for the Stormrider 88, 95, 102 and 108.
What are the factory edge angles?
All four current Stormrider models are listed with a 1.5-degree base bevel and a 2.0-degree side bevel in the official 2026/2027 workbook.
How should I choose a Stormrider length?
Length depends on skier size, ability, speed, terrain and preferred turn shape. Shorter lengths are generally easier to maneuver, while longer lengths provide more stability and surface area. SkiSharp can recommend the correct model and length.
