Technology
ADAPTIVE CONTACT LENGTH
The widest point on the shovel is set further forward. Together with a slight rocker (more gradual up-bend of the shovel), the more the ski is tilted, the further forward the contact point of the edge with the snow moves. This preserves its nimble characteristics without sacrificing stability and grip during the turn.
Benefits
- The greater the tilt, the higher the stability and sense of security
- Playful and good-natured at lesser tilt angles
Technology
Bamboo Side Walls
Sidewalls made of natural bamboo fibers
Benefits
- More resistant against blows
- Optimized power transfer

Technology
Big Powder Rocker
The height (20 mm) and length (60 mm) of this rocker are designed for powder adventures. It gives the ski plenty of lift and top maneuverability. For playful and effortless skiing in deep snow.
Benefits
- Optimum float
- Energy-saving skiing in deep powder
- Better control
Technology
Carbon Power Turn
Carbon strip inserts around the binding plate area underneath the wood core. Carbon fibers running lengthwise are tensioned during the initiation phase of the turn and release during the finish of the turn, effectively creating an extra explosive acceleration.
Benefits
- Stronger acceleration
- Quicker edge switching
- Improved agility
Technology
Carbon Steering Control
CSC Technology was successfully used in the Alpine Skiing World Cup. The carbon laminate visibly recognizable in the window is glue-laminated as appropriate for each end point. In the flex line, the carbon laminate flexes ideally so that the ski loses none of its perfect tuning. On strong impacts, the carbon laminate comes under tension through its specialized glue laminate at the ends, which results in less flattening out on the snow.
Benefits
- Superlative smooth running
- Increased stability
- Perfect control, even under tough conditions
Technology
Flex Torsion Control
An S-shaped notch in the aluminum at the shovel and tail of the ski offers softer flex and torsion at the front and rear. As a result, the ski exhibits more torsional flex, making it easier to initiate turns. At the same time, when changing direction, the ski remains under control because the torsion can adapt.
Benefits
- Improved control when changing direction
- Easier steering in and out of turns
Technology
Freeride Tail
Special tail area. The use of a high-tech polymer in combination with a new rocker angle results in the tail being both lighter and softer. The ski is even more responsive and maneuverable as a consequence.
Benefits
- Reduced weight
- Playful and nimble
Technology
Freeride Tip Technology
Light, stiff insert material at the tip makes the shovel more stable and less jittery. This light Freeride Tip material helps generate more lift in deep snow.
Benefits
- Improved lift with lower swing weight and more stable shovel
- Easy, effortless skiing in all snow conditions
Technology
Full Edge Contact
The widest points of the ski are set further forward or back. This makes the shovel grip faster and the part of the edge in contact with the snow when the ski is tilted becomes longer.
Benefits
- Easier, faster turn initiation
- Improved grip in the turn due to the longer contact area
Technology
Laser 3.0 Top Sheet Structure
New surfaces on the Laser models. Combining three different textures, the skis gain a unique, classy and athletic look. Every ski is unique.

Technology
Rocker
The gradual bending up of the ski at its tip and tail is called the rocker. Stöckli modifies the rocker according to the type of ski. Typically, the longer and more pronounced the rocker, the more lift is generated and the more responsive and easy-turning the ski becomes.
Benefits
- better float in powder
- Less effort required
- easier to turn on pistes
- easier edging
Technology
Sandwich Sidewall Technology
The ski is built up layer-by-layer, with each layer glued together under pressure - a well-proven manufacturing process in ski construction
Benefits

- heavy-duty construction
Technology
Size Optimized Construction
The construction of these models changes according to the length. The shorter lengths are typically made a little lighter and softer compared to the longer lengths. The aim is to provide an optimal match between the ski’s handling characteristics and the skier’s physique.
Benefits
- Perfectly matched construction whatever the length
- The ski’s dynamics are adapted to the skier’s physique
- Weight reduction at shorter lengths
Technology
Softflex
The individual layers are thinner and some models feature lighter materials. This lends the ski a softer flex. Light skiers, especially, benefit from the enhanced bending characteristics which offer enhanced enjoyment with less effort.
Benefits
- Optimal ski deflection
- Less effort required for improved comfort
- Reduced weight
Technology
Solid Metal Edge
Wider than conventional edges. This not only increases the service life of the ski, but also pays off in the rental/lending sector, where the equipment is subjected to particularly heavy use. A wider edge also makes the ski a little more stable.
Benefits
- Longer service life
- Reduced susceptibility to damage
- More grinding possible
- Increased stability
Technology
Solid Metal Edge Light
Same edge width as the SME. A modified die-cutting procedure, however, means the edge is inserted less deeply into the ski, which saves weight.
Benefits
- Longer service life
- Reduced susceptibility to damage
- More grinding possible
Technology
Tail Rocker
Rocker: A longer rocker at the tail with a flatter radius.
Benefits
- With the longer, extended rocker, the edge in contact with the snow is decreased, making the ski more playful.
- The longer rocker enables optimum grip when edging.
Technology
Thin Glass Laminate
This fiberglass laminate is 25% lighter than its conventional counterpart. The optimized material composition maintains the stiffness of the fiberglass and thus the ski’s handling characteristics.
Benefits
- Lighter in weight, same degree of flex
Technology
TITANAL TECHNOLOGY
No conventional cover sheet. Instead, the top layer of Titanal is coated with a powder. The design is then applied directly to the Titanal by means of transfer printing. This produces weight savings and results in a special visual appearance.
Benefits
- Optical effect
- Reduced weight, as the polyamide surface is done away with and the graphics are printed directly on the Titanal
Technology
TITANAL TECHNOLOGY EVO

Technology
TOURING SUPER LIGHT EDGES
These special edges for touring skis are not as wide or as high as traditional alpine edges.
Benefits
- Weight savings (up to 25% lighter than SME light)
Technology
TOURING TAIL
Our touring skis feature special milling at the tail end to facilitate the attachment of climbing skins. The hook at the end of the skin is afforded additional protection by the milling of the tail guard. Very practical when it’s cold or you have to get a move on. This feature also makes the end of the ski a little softer and smoother.
Benefits
- Secure attachment of climbing skins
- Reduced weight
- Softer torsion at the tail of the ski
Technology
TURTLE GRIP
New surfaces on Laser X models. Slightly nubby texture creates a matte/shiny surface that imparts an elegant look to the design. The top graphics layer is also rugged.
Benefits

- A real eye-catcher
Technology
TURTLE SHELL
The cut-outs in the Titanal lend torsion neutrality and effortless skiing at a low speed on easy slopes. At higher tempos and rough slopes the Titanal cutouts interlock. With these cut-outs, the ski is more stable, smoother, and thus lends more security.
Benefits
- Torsionally neutral and smooth at leisurely paces and on simple slopes.
- Athletic and stable at higher tempos on rougher slopes.
Technology
Vario Racing Technology
Like the core, the upper Titanal layer also has a thickness profile. The Titanal layer is thinner at the ski‘s tip and tail. VRT technology has been incredibly successful in competitive racing.
Benefits
- improved control and precision
- direct and harmonious turn initiation
Technology
Vario Side Cut
The ski width is proportionate to the length of the ski. The longer the ski, the wider it is and the more contact it has with the snow. This allows a good relationship to be established between the height and weight of the skier and the width, and therefore the weight, of the ski.
Benefits
- Identical center width to ski length ratio in every length
- The shape and width of the ski adapts to the skier’s physique
