2026 Stockli Montero AR Skis. The Stockli Montero AR is back and better than ever for 2026, sporting a refined construction that improves overall control and enhances the skier experience. This versatile frontside-oriented all-mountain ski packs a punch, giving piste skiers a high performance and versatile ski that exudes smoothness and precision at every turn, features we’ve come to expect from a Stockli. Why we like it. The precise and high end feel of a Stockli is hard to beat, and at 84 mm underfoot, the Montero AR has the added bonus of all-mountain versatility. Who it’s for. The Montero AR is designed for advanced to expert skiers who appreciate a ski that excels in carving on hardpack while also offering maneuverability and flotation in softer snow. The Montero AR is built using a Poplar and Beech wood core, which combines strength and liveliness for a powerful and energetic flex. Titanal makes its usual appearance here, adding torsional stiffness for superb grip on hardpack along with dampness to ensure a smooth feel through every turn. In 2025, Stockli has implemented Tip and Tail Flex, a cutout in the Titanal which allows the tip and tail of the ski to articulate, making it easier to initiate and exit out of a turn. The Stockli Montero AR became an instant classic when it came out this year. For a long time, the dirty secret here at the shop was that the Stockli Laser AR could do more than just rip a groomer. The ski can certainly carve, no doubt about it. At the same time, it was exceptionally fun in moguls and skiing a little soft snow here and there. With this updated line, the Montero AR and AX are designed to be high-performance carving skis, with even more extra versatility to play around off-piste and enjoy all the mountain has to offer. Stockli reworked and tweaked the AR to be more adaptable in a variety of conditions. The Montero AR now features Flex Torsion Control, Stockli designed special cutouts in the ski that adjust the torsional rigidity based on what kind of vibrations the ski is experiencing. This improves on the already incredibly smooth ride and seamless transitions that we expect from Stockli skis. Whether it’s arcing long, fast turns on morning corduroy or slicing through variable moguls at the end of the day, the Montero AR is ready to tackle whatever you want to ski, whenever you want to do it. Adaptive Contact Length. Full edge contact. Flex Torsion Control. Solid Metal Edge Light.
