PTO Verdict
“Swiss damping without the usual metal-ski mass - quiet on edge, quick in bumps, honest about its limits in deep snow.”
Best for: Advanced-intermediate to expert skiers who move between groomers, bumps, trees and wind-affected snow and want one damp, precise ski for all of it. The Stormrider 95 rewards skiers who actively carve and work the whole mountain rather than just pointing the ski downhill, and it suits anyone who wants metal-ski composure without the swing weight that usually comes with it.
Not for: Deep-powder-first skiers: flotation was the Stormrider 95's lowest-scored trait in the independent 2026 test, and deep days are the job of the wider, bigger-rockered Stormrider 102 - not this ski. Park, switch and butter-focused riders: this is a directional, carving-first shape, and there is nothing here for freestyle. Skiers who avoid bumps and don't really carve: the grip and the quickness are the whole point of this ski, and one independent review says plainly that skiers who don't use them won't get their money's worth. It is not a beginner ski, and at a premium Swiss-built price it is not a value pick either.

Description
The Stöckli Stormrider 95 is an all-mountain freeride ski built in Switzerland, 95 mm underfoot, with Titanal damping at a weight light for its class. It sits in the middle of Stöckli's Stormrider freeride line — wider than the 88, narrower than the 102 and 108 — and the 26/27 ski keeps the same article number as the current model: a carryover, not a redesign.
The build is a sandwich of poplar, beech and paulownia wood under a Titanal layup. Stöckli prints the graphics directly onto the metal — its Titec Pro treatment — which saves weight and gives the ski its raw-aluminum look. Polywall sidewalls, slightly softer and more elastic than a phenolic wall, are there for damping and impact resistance, and one independent review credits rubber layers in the laminate for much of how quiet the ski stays on hardpack. The tail zone uses Stöckli's Freeride Tail, built lighter and softer so the ski releases and pivots more willingly. On snow that adds up to strong, quiet edge grip on groomers, with a quickness in bumps and trees that heavier metal skis rarely offer.
It suits advanced-intermediate through expert skiers splitting their days between piste and off-piste who want damp, precise grip from one pair. It is the wrong ski for deep-powder-first skiers — flotation is its weakest suit, and the wider Stormrider 102 is the line's powder tool — and for park, switch or butter-focused riders, since the shape is directional and carving-oriented. If you avoid bumps and rarely carve, you would be paying for grip and quickness you won't use.
One independent review frames the 95 as the middle ground between the more frontside-leaning 88 and the powder-oriented 102; Stöckli itself files all three in the same all-mountain freeride family, so treat that framing as reviewer shorthand, not brand doctrine. Our full review covers how it skis and how to pick between the three. The Stormrider 95 is sold flat, so a binding is a separate purchase — we mount it and help you set the right length and binding in-shop.

Stöckli Stormrider 95
By PTO Team, Based on the manufacturer’s published specs and published third-party testing · Spec analysis and published third-party testing
The take
“Swiss damping without the usual metal-ski mass - quiet on edge, quick in bumps, honest about its limits in deep snow.”
Stöckli's Stormrider 95 is the mid-width ski of the brand's freeride line, and its character rests on one trade: metal-ski composure at a weight that stays out of your way. Stöckli's 26/27 workbook lists 1,690 g at 170 cm up to 1,940 g at 188 cm. The brand never labels whether that is per ski or per pair - the arithmetic on its own site figures and a third-party listing both point to per ski - and the write-up of one independent 2026 test called it surprisingly light for a ski of its caliber. The quiet comes from more than the Titanal: Polywall sidewalls trade a little of a phenolic wall's hardness for elasticity and impact resistance; one independent review also credits rubber damping layers bonded into the laminate for muting chatter on firm snow.
On groomers the Stormrider 95 skis like the carving side of its family. Edge grip and stability were its two strongest marks from the four testers in that 2026 test, and the geometry backs them up: 132-95-120 in every length, with the radius growing from 15.6 m at 170 cm to 20.0 m at 188 cm, so the shorter skis arc tighter while the 188 settles into long, fast turns.
Off the groomed, the tail is the story. Stöckli builds the tail zone with a high-tech polymer and a new rocker angle, making it lighter and softer, and the official claim - more responsive, more maneuverable - is echoed by one long-form review that called it the best mid-90s mogul ski its author had tested. The PR tip rocker eases turn initiation and adds lift in soft snow.
The limits are just as specific. Flotation was the lowest-scored trait in that same test - the Stormrider 95 gets through resort soft snow but does not float like the Stormrider 102, whose wider platform and Big Powder Rocker are the line's deep-snow tools. In cut-up, beat-up snow at speed, the low mass cuts the other way: a heavier metal ski like the Blizzard Bonafide stays sturdier when the surface fights back. And in soft snow it reads serious rather than playful - skis in the Armada ARV 94, Salomon QST 98 and Faction Prodigy 2 mold are looser and more fun there; the 95 answers with edge grip and damping instead.
The Stormrider 95 comes flat in 170, 176, 182 and 188 cm; Stöckli's workbook pairs it with Marker Griffon 13 binding options, and the binding comes separately. Pick length by the arc you want as much as by height - quicker, bump-heavy skiing points to 176 or 182, bigger and faster skiers toward the 188 - and let a technician handle the mount.
Bindings we'd pair with it
Mount point: Flat ski - binding is a separate purchase and needs mounting. Our pick: Marker Griffon 13.
Stöckli publishes no recommended mount point for the Stormrider 95. 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
- How does the Stöckli Stormrider 95 compare to the Stormrider 88 and 102?
- Stöckli files all three as all-mountain freeride skis, and only the width order is the brand's: 88, 95, 102. One independent review adds the shorthand - the 88 the most piste-leaning, the 102 the powder tool, the 95 the split-the-difference ski. The 102 also carries the bigger Big Powder Rocker tip, where the 95 keeps the shorter PR rocker.
- Is the Stöckli Stormrider 95 a good powder ski?
- Not as its first job. Flotation was its lowest-scored trait in an independent 2026 test; the PR tip rocker and 95 mm waist handle resort soft snow and chop, but deep days belong to the wider Stormrider 102.
- How much does the Stöckli Stormrider 95 weigh?
- Stöckli's 26/27 workbook lists 1,690 g at 170 cm, 1,776 g at 176 cm, 1,860 g at 182 cm and 1,940 g at 188 cm. Stöckli never labels the basis, but the kilogram figures on its site and a third-party listing both point to those being per ski, not per pair.
- What's new on the 26/27 Stöckli Stormrider 95?
- Nothing - it is a carryover. The 26/27 workbook and the current Stöckli listing show the same article number, 41040527, so this is the same ski as last season rather than a redesign.
- What size Stöckli Stormrider 95 should I get?
- It comes in 170, 176, 182 and 188 cm, and the turn radius grows with length - 15.6 m at 170 cm up to 20.0 m at 188 cm. Skiers who want quicker arcs or ski a lot of bumps tend toward the 176 or 182; bigger, faster skiers who prioritize stability tend toward the 188. We help you size it in-shop.
