Designed to float in powder and carve up the corduroy, the Salomon BBR 8.9 skis bring an innovative new shape to the slopes.

• The Salomon BBR 8.9 skis work well if you're sticking to the groomed runs, but they are ideal if you find yourself switching between groomed runs and off-piste terrain


• Full-wood core delivers direct transmission of power with precision and efficiency


• Elastomer inserts placed over the front of the skis absorb vibrations, resulting in a smooth ride that softens ski-to-snow contact


• Wide, surf-board inspired tips feature a very low profile rise that floats in powder and smooths out the ride in rough terrain


• Tips are also shaped to reduce weight and minimize chatter when carving at high speeds


• Relatively narrow waist offers a tight turning radius and enhances grip on firm snow


• Narrowest part of waist is behind heels, allowing a versatile weight distribution on skis


• Pintail releases out of turns easily and enhances control


• Slightly raised tails let you ride backward and stick the occasional switch landing


• Sandwich sidewall construction offers extremely smooth ski-to-snow contact and high adaptation to any terrain


• Strong polyethylene fiber threaded between the edges of the skis increases edge strength to withstand big impacts
