PTO Verdict
“The wider, powder-leaning ski in Stöckli's newly rebuilt women's Nela line - light, soft-flexing, off-piste-minded, and still without any independent on-snow reviews.”
Best for: Women who prioritize powder and ungroomed terrain first and want a light, soft-flexing freeride ski rather than a heavy charger. On paper the Nela 93 suits progressing intermediates through advanced skiers who want easy shovel engagement and a forgiving character off-piste - with the caveat that this comes from Stöckli's text and a dealer preview, not from anyone's testing.
Not for: Piste-first skiers: if most of your season is on groomers, this is the wrong Nela - Stöckli gives the on/off-piste versatility role to the narrower Nela 86, and the 93's width and rocker are aimed at snow you would rarely touch. Hard-charging experts: the Softflex, Thin Glass Laminate build is deliberately softer and lighter than the unisex Stormrider 95, and nothing in it promises top-end stability at speed. Taller or heavier skiers: the run stops at 170 cm and the Stormrider 95 goes to 188 cm - past a point you simply run out of Nela. And anyone who buys on proof rather than promise: this is a first-year model at a premium price for a flat ski without bindings. What is known about its character comes from Stöckli's own text and one dealer preview.

Description
The Stöckli Nela 93 is a women's freeride ski, 93 mm underfoot and built in Switzerland, new for 26/27 and the wider of the two women's Nela models Stöckli introduced this season. It replaces the Nela 96 outright — new article number, new 130-93-117 sidecut, new lengths, tighter radii — a new ski, not a carryover with fresh graphics.
The build is light and soft-flexing on purpose. A Freeride Core of poplar, beech and paulownia sits under a Titanal layup with Stöckli's Titec Pro surface, which prints the graphics directly on the metal instead of adding a cover sheet. Softflex construction uses thinner individual layers for a softer flex, a Thin Glass Laminate appears on the two new Nelas but not on the unisex Stormriders, and Polywall sidewalls give up a little hardness for damping and impact resistance. Up front, a Powder Rocker tip is there for lift in soft snow and an easier start to the turn, and the Freeride Tail runs lighter and softer to keep the ski maneuverable — Stöckli credits those two features for its lift and playful handling.
Stöckli aims the Nela 93 squarely at soft snow and terrain away from the groomers, and that is how to shop it: the powder-day Nela, for intermediate through advanced women who want a light, forgiving freeride ski. If most of your days are groomed, the narrower Nela 86 — the ski Stöckli credits with quick edge-to-edge precision — fits better. If you want maximum stiffness or a length beyond 170 cm, look at the unisex Stormrider 95 instead.
One caveat we will not bury: the Nela 93 is in its first year, and not a single independent on-snow review of it exists yet. What we can say about the ride comes from the brand's materials and one dealer preview; the full PTO review on this page is framed exactly that way. The Nela 93 is sold flat, so a binding is a separate purchase — we mount it and help you choose the binding and the right length in-shop.

Stöckli Nela 93
By PTO Team, Based on official specs and a dealer preview · Spec analysis of official materials
The take
“The wider, powder-leaning ski in Stöckli's newly rebuilt women's Nela line - light, soft-flexing, off-piste-minded, and still without any independent on-snow reviews.”
Stöckli's Nela 93 is brand-new for 26/27 in the strict sense - article number 41040628, where the outgoing Nela 96 carried 41040626, plus a fresh sidecut, fresh lengths and fresh radii. This review works from Stöckli's official materials and one dealer preview, treating both as design intent, not test results.
On paper it is a deliberately light, soft-flexing freeride build. A Freeride Core mixes poplar, beech and paulownia under a Titanal layup with the Titec Pro surface - graphics go straight onto the metal, no conventional cover sheet - and Stöckli does not publish the Titanal sheet count. Softflex construction thins the individual layers to soften the flex; a Thin Glass Laminate shows up on both new Nelas and on none of the unisex Stormriders, and Stöckli publishes only its name. The workbook prints 1,502, 1,570 and 1,637 g for the 156, 163 and 170 cm lengths, without labeling the basis anywhere - we quote them as printed figures, not a verified spec.
Against the Nela 96 it replaces, the new ski is narrower and quicker on paper: 130-93-117 against the old 134-96-121, radii of 12.6 to 15.8 m against 14.0 to 17.7 m, and lower printed weights at comparable lengths. The dealer preview describes the shape as largely unchanged while the core and sidecut were retuned toward a snappier, slightly softer-flexing ski - easier to engage at the shovels, more forgiving if you get caught in the back. That is a preview, not a test - and so far the only third-party voice on this ski. One call the geometry does support: 12.6 m at 156 cm is a tight radius for a 93 mm freeride ski, pointing at short, easy turns over long arcs.
Within Stöckli's line the split is clean. The Nela 86 is the other new Nela - narrower, a touch lighter, and the one whose own text claims precision in quick edge changes; the pick for days split between groomers and soft snow, where the Nela 93 is the powder-day tool. At nearly the same width, the unisex Stormrider 95 is the opposite build - no Softflex, no Thin Glass Laminate, printed weights of 1,690 to 1,940 g and lengths up to 188 cm where the Nela stops at 170 cm. Skiers chasing top-end stiffness, damping or length belong on that ski, not this one.
The Nela 93 comes flat in 156, 163 and 170 cm, with the radius growing from 12.6 m to 15.8 m across the run. Stöckli's workbook lists Marker Squire 11 options as its binding pairing; the binding is a separate purchase and a technician mounts it. It is a premium Swiss-built ski and a first-year model: if you want Stöckli's newest women's freeride ski and the light, forgiving character it aims for, we size it to you in-shop.
Bindings we'd pair with it
Mount point: Flat ski - binding is a separate purchase and needs mounting. Our pick: Marker Squire 11.
Stöckli publishes no recommended mount point for the Nela 93. DIN and mount are set by a technician at fitting, and boot-sole compatibility is never assumed - it is checked against your boots in-shop.
Common Questions
- Is the Stöckli Nela 93 new for 26/27?
- Yes, in the strict sense. It carries a new article number - 41040628, where the outgoing Nela 96 was 41040626 - plus a new sidecut (130-93-117), fresh lengths and fresh radii - and it replaces the Nela 96 in the women's line. A dealer preview describes the shape as largely unchanged, with the core and sidecut retuned.
- Are there independent reviews of the Stöckli Nela 93 yet?
- No. It is a first-year model. What is known about its ride traces to Stöckli's official materials and a dealer preview, and our review treats those as design intent, not test results.
- How much does the Stöckli Nela 93 weigh?
- Stöckli's 26/27 workbook prints 1,502 g at 156 cm, 1,570 g at 163 cm and 1,637 g at 170 cm. Stöckli does not label the basis for those figures anywhere, so treat them as the manufacturer's printed values rather than a verified spec.
- Stöckli Nela 93 or Nela 86 - which one?
- Split by terrain. The Nela 86 is the narrower of the two new Nelas, and Stöckli's own text credits it with precision when switching edges quickly - the pick when your days mix groomers and soft snow. The Nela 93 is the powder-day pick, with more width and the same construction tech list.
- Is the Nela 93 related to the Stöckli Nela 88?
- Only as line history. The Nela 88 and the wider Nela 96 are the outgoing generation: for 26/27 the new Nela 86 replaces the 88, and this Nela 93 replaces the 96. A 25/26 Nela 88 is the older platform, not a narrower version of this ski.
- What size Stöckli Nela 93 should I get?
- It comes in 156, 163 and 170 cm, and the radius grows with length - 12.6 m at 156 cm up to 15.8 m at 170 cm. The run tops out at 170 cm, so taller or heavier skiers can simply run out of ski; we help you size it in-shop.
