The 2025 Stockli Stormrider 102 is a versatile powerhouse that brings the power and precision that Stockli is known for to a wider all-mountain platform, providing an unparalleled experience for those seeking top end performance in deeper snow. By utilizing a combination of lightweight materials and Titanal, the Stormrider 102 offers versatility and performance in all conditions, making it a true quiver killer.

Why we like it:

The Stormrider 102 is equally as impressive on hardpack as it is in soft snow, and can lay trenches down the fall line just as reliably as it can play in powder.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert skiers who demand a high level of performance will love the precise and stable Stormrider 102.

Highlights:

Starting with a mixed wood core of Poplar, Beech, and Paulownia, the Stormrider 102 gets two full sheets of Titanal to provide a damp and stable feel. In an effort to save weight, one of these Ti sheets pulls double duty as the topsheet of the ski, eliminating the need for that additional layer. A tapered shape in the tip along with Big Powder Rocker offers maneuverability in soft snow, while a touch of rocker in the fairly squared off tail promotes a powerful transition from one turn into the next.

Things to consider:

While Stockli touts the Stormrider 102 as a freeride ski, it crosses over solidly into the all-mountain category, so creative skiers looking for a smeary and surfy freeride ski should look elsewhere. As is the case with all Stocklis, the Stormrider 102 is hand built in Switzerland and comes with a relatively high price tag; skiers on a budget will find there are plenty of options in this category that check all the boxes without breaking the bank.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
