Long approaches. Firm couloirs. Quick transitions. The MTN 86 Carbon handles it all with a blend of lightweight touring performance and reliable edge hold. An 86mm waist keeps things efficient on the skin track, while a carbon and titanal layup adds confidence when the slope gets steep and the snow turns hard. For skiers seeking technical lines and high-effort days, this ski strikes a balance between the uphill grind and a stable, responsive ride on the descent. Recycled materials throughout help you tread lighter in more ways than one.
