2024 Stockli Edge 88 Skis

Blending touring efficiency with true downhill performance, the 2024 Stöckli Edge 88 is built for backcountry skiers who demand reliability in the skin track and confidence on the descent. With a mid-width platform and freeride-inspired rocker, it’s as versatile as it is refined.

Why we like it:

It brings Stöckli-level craftsmanship and edge grip to the touring world, making it one of the most capable downhill performers in its class.

Who it's for:

Ideal for advanced ski tourers and backcountry skiers who value precision, predictability, and high-speed stability in technical terrain. Best suited for those who prioritize the descent but still want efficient uphill travel.

Highlights:

At 88 mm underfoot with a tip-and-tail rocker profile, the Edge 88 offers exceptional versatility across snow types. The powder-style shovel improves float and confidence in softer conditions, while a milled tail accommodates skins for efficient ascents. Durable Polywall sidewalls withstand the demands of backcountry use, and the lightweight wood core keeps the ski nimble without sacrificing downhill integrity.

Things to consider:

While impressively damp and stable for its weight, it still prioritizes efficiency. Strong resort skiers may want something with more heft if touring isn't the focus.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size; size down for tighter terrain or lighter setups, or up for more stability and float.
