Salomon MTN Summit 79 Ski 2022

MTN Summit 79 Ski

If your idea of a day in the backcountry involves high speed skinning and then boot packing to the top of an exposed summit, then the Salomon MTN Summit 79 Ski is a great backcountry partner. These sticks use a super lightweight construction made possible by a proprietary carbon and flax combination. This carbon fiber creates snappy response and reliable torsional rigidity, while the flax dampens out the feel to reduce chatter on firmer surfaces. Because neither of these materials retain screws well, the MTN Summit 79 comes packed with a titanal plate underfoot to ensure your bindings stay fully attached even in high torque situations.
