Transalp 86 Ws Carbon Ski

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These skis are a sweet spot for long tours—light enough for big climbs but still stable enough for steep descents. The carbon and Titanal reinforcement make them feel solid and smooth when the terrain gets variable. Great edge hold, super agile, and they don’t beat you up."

Who It’s For

Fast-Moving Ski Tourers and Mountaineers:

Ideal for intermediate to expert skiers who want a lightweight ski for long ascents and big alpine objectives. Perfect for those who value climbing efficiency but still demand confidence when dropping into steep, technical descents.

What It’s For

Long Tours and Technical Backcountry Missions:

Built for ski mountaineering and high-mileage touring, the Transalp 86 Carbon thrives on long approaches, steep climbs, and variable snow. With an 86mm waist and carbon reinforcement, it’s optimized for efficiency without sacrificing control.

Why We Like It

Balanced Weight and Stability for Big Days:

We like the Transalp 86 Carbon because it proves you don’t have to sacrifice downhill performance to save weight on the up. The Air Tec Paulownia core keeps it light, while carbon and Titanal reinforcement ensure edge hold and stability. It’s a reliable partner for skiers who cover a lot of ground in demanding terrain.
