The S/Lab skate skis have remained a top choice over recent seasons. Although their design has not changed, they now incorporate a new core material that is produced in-house. This is an exciting change that allows Salomon to quickly make improvements and control the quality, all while keeping the cost down. We were able to test the new core against the old core on the Dachstein Glacier in May, and you can read more about that HERE. 

These skis come with the SL22 grind, which we have not always had a lot of success with. We prefer our SC1 or SC2 grind, depending on the conditions the skis will be used in.
