Salomon S/Max 10 2027 Dusty Blue / Black/ White Ski + M11 GW L80

The Salomon S/MAX 10 2027 Dusty Blue / Black / White Ski + M11 GW is designed for athletic skiers who enjoy carving tight turns and want to take their technique to the next level. This precise on-piste ski combines a dynamic ride with enough accessibility for long days on the mountain. The Dual Core 2 construction, featuring ash wood, fiberglass, and Titanal®, ensures stability and a powerful rebound, while Edge Amplifier SL technology provides extra edge grip on hard snow. Thanks to the narrow 72 mm waist, you can switch edges exceptionally smoothly. With the included M11 GW bindings, this Salomon model forms a complete set for skiers who enjoy controlled speed.

Terrain: Groomed & Carving

The S/MAX 10 performs best on groomed runs, where its sporty construction and immediate edge grip truly shine. From hard morning snow to softer runs later in the day, this ski is designed for precise and controlled carving. The narrow waist makes quick edge changes easy, while the sturdy construction provides stability when you pick up the pace. For deep powder or challenging off-piste terrain, a wider all-mountain ski is more suitable.

Profile: On-Piste Rocker

The On-Piste profile combines traditional camber underfoot with 15% rocker in the tip and a traditional tail. The camber provides grip and a lively rebound when exiting turns, while the slightly raised tip helps you initiate new turns smoothly. The traditional tail supports a powerful and controlled finish to every carved turn.

Shape & Sidecut: Directional Piste

The directional shape of the S/MAX 10 is fully optimized for precise carving. With its 72 mm waist width, the ski responds quickly to steering inputs and feels direct during edge changes. At a length of 165 cm, it has dimensions of 120-72-105 mm and a turning radius of 14 meters. This makes it easy to steer through short to medium-length carving turns, while the sturdy construction provides sufficient support when skiing more aggressively.

Flex & Construction

The S/MAX 10 has a sporty, relatively stiff flex profile that combines stability with a lively response. The Dual Core 2 construction uses an ash wood core combined with HT Tri Axial Fiber and Titanal® reinforcement. These materials help keep the ski stable and precise when you’re carving aggressively. The Semi Sandwich Sidewalls, made with 100% recycled ABS, support efficient power transfer and ensure a predictable ride.

Level: Intermediate to Advanced

This ski is particularly well-suited for intermediate to advanced skiers who want to improve their carving technique and enjoy sporty descents. The construction offers sufficient support for powerful turns, while the agile geometry helps keep the ski under control. Experienced skiers looking for a dynamic on-piste ski without the demanding nature of a true race ski will also appreciate its characteristics. For absolute beginners, a more flexible entry-level ski is more accessible.

Technologies: Dual Core 2 & Edge Amplifier SL

Dual Core 2 combines an ash wood core with triaxial fiberglass and Titanal® for extra stability and a direct response. This helps you maintain control when you build up more pressure while carving.

Edge Amplifier SL is a two-part system that transfers energy more efficiently to the steel edges. According to Salomon, this technology delivers up to 30% more edge grip, while the ski retains sufficient flex underfoot for fast and fluid turns.

HT Tri Axial Fiber consists of densely woven fiberglass that increases torsional stiffness. As a result, the ski twists less easily, and your steering remains precise, especially on hard slopes.

Which ski length should you choose?

The S/MAX 10 is available in 155, 160, 165, 170, and 175 cm. A shorter length makes the ski more maneuverable and easier to control during short, rhythmic turns. A longer length offers more stability when you’re skiing faster and prefer to make wider carved turns. The turning radius ranges from 13 meters for the 155 cm model to 16 meters for the 175 cm model. Choose the right length based on your build, weight, skill level, and preferred carving style.

Bindings & Setup

The Salomon S/MAX 10 2027 comes as a complete ski set with M11 GW bindings and an integrated Easytrak Monopart binding system. This means you don’t need to purchase separate bindings. The M11 GW bindings have an adjustment range of DIN 3.5 to 11 and are compatible with adult alpine and GripWalk ski boots. Thanks to the rail system, the binding position can be adjusted to match the length of the boot sole. If necessary, have the bindings professionally mounted, adjusted, and checked before use based on your ski boots and personal measurements.

Stoked Expert Advice

The S/MAX 10 is a strong choice for skiers who enjoy sporty carving and place a high value on edge grip and precision. In particular, the combination of a stable Titanal®-reinforced construction, Edge Amplifier SL, and an agile 72 mm waist makes it ideal for powerful runs on the slopes. Are you looking for a dynamic carving ski with bindings that feels sporty without being a race ski? Then this Salomon is the right choice for you.
