The S/Lab Classic Blue remains a top choice for hardwax skis, especially in cold snow conditions. Salomon’s cold ski base is highly regarded for its performance in cold environments. Although the graphics haven’t changed, the 25/26 model introduces the new Innowave core, crafted in-house at Amer Sports, marking an exciting update. These skis come with the 1L16 grind, ideal for cold, dry snow. For better versatility across different humidity levels, consider the CL1 grind instead.
