Product Summary
Due to its lighweight construction the Salomon MTN Summit 79 is easy to handle not only downhill but also during longer ascents. The Salomon MTN Summit 79's full retail price is €699.99. The Ski costs roughly €80 more than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it an upper mid-range model. This ski is best suited for aggressive skiers who want to push the ski to its limit. The Backcountry Touring Ski prefers perfectly groomed runs over fresh powder. However due to its medium-width waist, this ski is also a good shout for riders who like to venture off piste from time to time. The ski is available from 158 to 170cm.
The ski in details
Take backcountry to the summit with this ultra-lightweight ski. Designed for skiers who skin 90% of the ascent, then climb the last 10% before skiing steep couloirs and faces, this is the ski for people who push all the way to the top, and don't back down on the descent.
Technologies

Reliability
The binding area is reinforced with both a titanal insert and a monocoque 1-layer reinforcement, ensuring reliable binding hold, even in high-torque situations.
