Strong skiers who felt the standard Montero AR left something on the table now have the Stockli Montero AR Pro, a premium all-mountain carver built for power and high-speed precision. It shares the AR's all-mountain footprint but adds an Titanal Titec surface, stiffer sidewalls, and a thicker base for a noticeably more demanding, race-like ride. The payoff is miraculous edge grip and rock-solid stability for skiers who like to bring a ski up to speed and keep it there.

Why we like it:

The Titanal Titec surface is the first thing you notice, and it backs up its premium look with real performance. We also like how honest this ski is about who it's for; the stiffer sidewalls and thicker base give it a serious, race-bred feel that aggressive skiers will immediately appreciate.

Who it's for:

Expert skiers, especially those with a racing background, who want maximum power and edge grip from an all-mountain carver. Built for strong, aggressive skiers who ski fast and want a ski that operates at its best when driven hard.

Highlights:

The Montero AR Pro takes the Montero DNA and turns up the intensity. A high-quality Titec Titanal surface tops the ski for both premium looks and added performance, while stiffer sidewalls and a thicker base give it considerably more horsepower than the standard AR. Underneath sits the familiar light poplar and beech wood core, but the ride is far more demanding; this ski wants to be brought up to speed before it shows its best. An All Mountain Rocker profile and Tail Rocker keep turn initiation manageable, and Adaptive Contact Length varies the working edge with the depth of the carve. Race Base shaping delivers precise power transmission and fast glide, Solid Metal Edge Light keeps grip sharp, and Racing Sidewalls Black complete a ski tuned for fast, aggressive carving.

Things to consider:

The AR Pro does not have the same low-speed compliance as the rest of the Montero line; it asks to be skied hard and fast to come alive. Skiers who want an easier, more forgiving all-mountain ride will be better served by the standard Montero AR.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Montero AR Pro sizes true to length. Ride your usual length; size down only if you want a slightly more manageable feel, or size up for the most stability at speed.
