Stöckli Montero AW

The take
“Smooth from turn-initiation all the way through the tail's release — velvety, quiet, and effortless.”
The Montero AW is Stöckli's women's-specific all-mountain ski — lightweight, forgiving, and confidence-building without sacrificing the Swiss build quality that makes Stöckli what it is. The Allmountain Core uses Paulownia-based lightweight wood with a full sheet of titanal featuring their Flex Torsion Control S-shaped cutouts at the tip and tail.
The 2026/2027 model adds Turtleshell Tech — squiggly cuts in the titanal that help the ski follow terrain without getting knocked off course — plus a rubber laminate underfoot and a mounting point moved forward 10mm for better forebody connectivity. The result is a ski that initiates turns effortlessly and feels smooth and composed throughout the arc.
On groomers, the AW carves precise, textbook arcs with good edge hold for its class. It excels at slow to moderate speeds, and testers noted the ride is velvety and quiet. The trade-off is that it finds a terminal velocity relatively quickly — push too hard and the ski tells you it's reached its limit. That's by design. This is a ski built for progression and all-day comfort, not aggressive charging.
Versatile across conditions — groomers, light off-piste, spring snow — but not a powder ski at 80mm.
