The new lineup features an updated WRT range, a Marco Odermatt edition and a new Montero AR Pro, alongside changes across its piste, freeride and touring skis.
Swiss ski manufacturer Stöckli has unveiled its 2026/27 collection, with race-derived construction at the center of its latest piste and all-mountain models.
Announced September 29 in Malters, Switzerland, the collection includes the Laser WRT, Laser WRT Pro and Laser WRT Pro Marco Odermatt Edition, along with the new Montero AR Pro and limited-production Orea AX. Stöckli has also updated its Laser SX, CX and MX models and expanded its freeride range with the Stormrider 108.
For ski racers and coaches looking beyond the gates, the WRT line is a central part of the announcement. Stöckli describes the range as combining the agility of a slalom ski with the stability of a giant slalom ski, allowing skiers to move between short and long turns.
Race construction at the heart of the WRT line
For 2026/27, Stöckli has revised its Race Core, increasing the proportion of beech wood to improve stability at speed and on hard snow, according to the company.
The Laser WRT Pro features Racing Sidewalls that Stöckli says are 10 percent harder, along with a Race Base developed for glide across different snow conditions. A carbon strip beneath the binding, known as Carbon Power Turn, is designed to store energy through the turn and release it at the exit.
The Laser WRT also uses Carbon Power Turn, paired with Carbon Steering Control. Stöckli says this World Cup-derived carbon laminate helps absorb impacts and keep the ski tracking steadily at speed.
The Marco Odermatt edition
The Laser WRT Pro Marco Odermatt Edition brings an exclusive design to the race-inspired piste ski.
Stöckli says its development drew on more than 1,000 field and laboratory tests and over 50,000 data records, alongside Odermatt’s racing experience. Its construction includes harder black sidewalls for direct power transmission, a race base with a higher carbon-black content for glide, and Carbon Power Turn technology.
The company positions the model as a performance piste ski for skiers seeking precise handling in both short and long turns.
Racing technology moves into all-mountain skis
The new Montero AR Pro extends the racing connection into Stöckli’s all-mountain range. It combines Racing Sidewalls and a Race Base with All Mountain Rocker, an extended upward curve in the tip designed to support flotation in deeper snow and easier turn initiation on groomed runs.
Its Titec aluminum surface carries the graphics directly on the metal.
The Montero AR is designed for medium to long turns, combining the Montero family’s maneuverability with GS-inspired stability. Tip-and-Tail Flex technology uses cuts in the aluminum at the tip and tail to help the ski enter turns smoothly.
The Montero AX remains the versatile option for groomed snow, fresh snow and spring conditions. The Orea AX offers an all-mountain alternative in Stöckli’s limited-production Orea line, with a dark finish, subtle surface detailing and a plaque incorporated by hand.
Updates for the Laser SX, CX and MX
Stöckli has also revised its Laser-X piste skis, which use Turtle 2.0 technology. The company says fine cuts in the Titanal allow a more supple feel at lower speeds, then interlock to increase stability as speed and forces build.
The redesigned Laser SX gains four millimeters underfoot, bringing its waist to 74 mm, along with a more pronounced sidecut. The Laser CX increases by three millimeters to a 72 mm waist while retaining its emphasis on maneuverability and lower-effort skiing.
The women’s Laser MX has a 71 mm waist, a lightweight construction and Softflex designed for comfort and control.
New freeride and touring options
Developed with freeride athlete Maxime Chabloz, the new Stormrider 108 expands Stöckli’s range for deep snow. Its Big Powder Rocker and lighter, softer Freeride Tail are designed for flotation and maneuverability, while Polywall sidewalls help absorb impacts.
The updated women’s Nela 86 and Nela 93 use thinner layers and lighter materials to make the skis easier to flex. Stöckli positions the Nela 86 for a mix of groomed runs and off-piste terrain, with the Nela 93 more focused on powder.
For touring, the Edge TR prioritizes uphill efficiency. At 178 cm, it has an 88 mm waist, compared with the descent-focused Edge FT’s 96 mm waist at 180 cm. Updates include Big Powder Rocker for additional flotation, while a notch at the tail helps secure climbing skins.
One production line in Malters
Stöckli says every ski passes through approximately 140 production steps at its Malters factory. Its World Cup race skis and recreational models are made on the same production line, allowing developments in racing and series production to inform each other.
For the 2026/27 collection, that shared manufacturing process connects a lineup spanning race-inspired carving skis, all-mountain models, freeride skis and touring equipment.
