WTR Technology
What is Salomon, Walk to Ride, technology?
On WTR certified
bindings
On WTR certified
boot walk soles
Salomon’s application of Amer Sports’
new compatibility for touring gear
WTR (Walk to Ride) is a first-ever industry
standard for compatibility of certain touring
boot soles and bindings. This standard is
approved by TÜV, a world-renown safety monitoring agency, ensuring an official compatibility
between specific bindings and specific ski boot
walk soles.
What’s the main benefit of WTR technology?
Which Products are Concerned?
WTR allows skiers to combine a superior level
of performance downhill skiing and an excellent
level of convenience and security when
hiking (ISO Standard 9523). It establishes a
norm for fitting rockered touring soles with
certain binding setups. It establishes a norm for
fitting rockered touring soles with certain
binding setups. WTR-certified bindings are
intended to be used with all alpine ski boots
compliant with ISO standard 5355 and ski
boots with the new WTR-certified soles that
have rigid contact zones in order to guarantee
provide the same level of security and skiability
as traditional alpine set-ups.
Salomon’s parent company, Amer Sports, has
finalized a common agreement to license WTR
technology to the Rossignol group starting
fall 2013. WTR is currently available in certain
2012/13 Salomon and Atomic binding options.

Salomon creates a technology-packed, four-buckle boot
fit for a wider range of consumers
The Salomon X-Pro features a new liner concept and all of Salomon’s top boot
technologies for the ultimate boot fit experience
th
Ogden, UT—December 27 , 2012—Salomon, a leader in technical design and innovation in mountain
sports, is proud to introduce the next generation of high performance boots—the Salomon X-Pro. The
X-Pro uses Salomon TwinFrame molding technology and introduces a new boot liner concept called My
CustomFit 3D. The My CustomFit 3D liner is pre-shaped on a three dimensional form around the most
critical areas of the foot, ankle and heel.
Other liners only use two flat pieces of bonded material stuck to a flat
bottom, whereas MyCustomfit 3D is built in three dimensions on a footshaped mold. This results in instant comfort, higher precision and a liner
that is fully thermoformable to accommodate foot spurs, hot spots and
foot shapes.
“The goal in developing this boot was to create an unprecedented level of
comfort in performance boots,” explains Paul-Eric Chamay, Salomon’s
Boot Project manager for X-Pro. “We have spent years sculpting the
shells to fit anatomically, but liners were still pretty simple and flat.
Salomon’s experience in footwear of all types led us to the realization that
we could change the liner game. As we developed prototypes, the results
exceeded our hopes.”
In addition to a reinvented liner, the Salomon X-Pro is built on technology designed for skiers who want
boots with an improved fit, ease of use and all day comfort without sacrificing precision and performance.
Additional technologies:
• TwinFrame—a combination of a rigid PU upper shell to add precision, power and control with a
soft PU lower shell wrap for a personalized fit.
• 360 Custom Shell—is now extended to the top of the cuff for additional calf comfort and can be
molded for a personalized fit in 20 minutes.
• Oversized Pivot—delivers exception power and more efficiency to the edge of the ski
• Articulated Sensifit—for ease of entry and exit of the boot.

Salomon launches the complete package of skis, apparel, boots and
packs for better access in the mountains
With better movement, access and performance in mind, Salomon’s multi-category Quest
product lines offer technical innovation and comfort
Ogden, UT—January 2, 2013—Salomon, a leader in technical design and innovation in
mountain sports, is proud to introduce the hike and ride technologies, a series of innovations
that make it easier for all skiers to access more terrain, both in and out of the resort.
The Quest boots are the base of the quest concept. Designed to provide the same level of
downhill performance that skiers expect from their freeride boots, the Quest boot line offers a
novel Hike and Ride solution. Featuring a magnesium backbone integrated into a V-Cut lower
shell, the Quest boots offer an instant on-off transition between easy walking and locked-in
downhill power and performance.
Designed by pros but accessible for every skier, the Quest
skis put the “ride” in hike and ride. Featuring utility rocker, the
forebody of the Quest-line skis floats in powder and adapts in
variable conditions, while the cambered center of the ski and
flat tail add stability, confidence and performance on piste.
The new Salomon Quest 20 ABS Compatible pack carries
backcountry gear, skis or a snowboard and has convenient
loops for helmets. Ideal for short backcountry missions in big
mountains, the pack is compatible with the ABS avalanche
safety system.
Salomon completes the Hike and Ride equation with the
Quest Motion Fit jacket and pant which enable optimal
movement for skiing and backcountry travel by adjusting the
volume in the shoulders and seat, adding articulating seams, a gusseted crotch and pre-shaped
knees, and completely rethinking fit and repositioning seams and zippers. In addition, the Quest
Motion Fit jacket and pant utilize a lightweight, 3L membrane which creates an easy-to-pack,
water and wind proof apparel combination.

Salomon launches its application of Amer Sports’ new
standard for compatibility of touring boot soles and bindings
The revolutionary Walk to Ride technology brings a new norm to the ski industry
Ogden, UT—January 7, 2012— Salomon, a leader in technical design and innovation
in mountain products announces its parent company, Amer Sports’, significant advance
in ski touring product technology. WTR (Walk to Ride) is a first-ever industry standard
for compatibility of certain touring boot soles and bindings. WTR compatibility is
certified by TÜV, a world-renown safety monitoring agency, ensuring an official
compatibility between specific bindings and specific ski boot walk soles.
WTR allows skiers to combine a superior level of
performance downhill skiing and an excellent level of
convenience and security when hiking (ISO
Standard 9523). It establishes a norm for fitting
rockered touring soles with certain binding setups.
“Salomon has led the industry in quality binding innovation since day one, so it’s no
wonder we are bringing WTR to our skiers,” says Erik Anderson, director of sales for
Salomon Winter Sports Equipment. “We are hiking more to find great snow, but not
giving up our alpine setups. So, with rockered soles that are so good to walk in, we also
need to be sure we are secure in our bindings. This new standard is about that exact
connection between boots and bindings as hiking and skiing continue to evolve around
each other.”
WTR-certified bindings are intended to be used with all alpine ski boots compliant with
ISO standard 5355 and ski boots with the new WTR-certified soles that have rigid
contact zones in order to guarantee provide the same level of security and skiability as
traditional alpine set-ups.
Salomon’s parent company, Amer Sports, has finalized a common agreement to license
WTR technology to the Rossignol group starting in fall 2013. And WTR is currently
available in certain 2012/13 Salomon and Atomic binding options.

Salomon combines top technologies in new alpine binding
The Salomon STH2 WTR binding marries a driver toe and Guardian heel to
optimize downhill performance in mixed conditions
Ogden, UT—January 17, 2013—Salomon, a leader in technical design and innovation in
mountain sports, is proud to introduce the newest addition to its binding family – the STH2
WTR. The STH2 WTR builds on the groundwork laid by Salomon’s previous bindings while
adding new features dedicated to enhancing the performance of today’s ski shapes, enabling
quality skiing in any conditions.
The STH2 WTR binding combines Salomon’s
recognized driver toe piece with the Guardian
heel piece sans walk-mode, delivering expert
power transmission and downhill performance.
In addition, the STH2 WTR offers a wider platform
for modern ski shapes, utilizing dampening pads under the toe and heel plates to smooth
vibrations and remove the abrupt edging feel that can happen with traditional race bindings.
Improved downhill performance is only one aspect of the STH2 WTR. This binding also features
WTR (Walk-to-Ride) sole compatibility, a new technology built into some of Salomon’s new
boots and bindings—approved by the TÜV (a globally recognized testing, inspection and
certification organization). The combination of WTR soles and STH2 WTR bindings enables
secure grip when scrambling up rocky terrain or across slick surfaces, while actually improving
downhill performance.
Binding Facts:
•
WTR Compatibility—safety and performance are not compromised when skiers choose
a Salomon boot with WTR soles to aid in better walk comfort.
•
Oversized Platform—It is imperative to deliver a binding that adjusts to the trend of wider
skis. An oversized platform ensures maximum lateral power transmission.
•
•
3D Driver Toe: This patented toe concept allows for multidirectional release options.
Stomp Pedal—A fixed, wide pedal ensures the best transmission from skier to ski
•
Low Profile Chassis—At 18 mm stand height, this increases terrain feedback and
enhances power transmission.
•
Progressive Transfer Pads—Increased dampening for shock absorption

Salomon bridges gap between frontside and back country
Salomon Quest ski line offers versatility in soft snow, variable conditions and
hard snow with a directional shape and new rocker profile
Ogden, UT—January 17th, 2013—Salomon, a leader in technical design and innovation in
mountain sports, is introducing a new line of skis for fall-winter 13/14. The Salomon Quest
series is designed for intermediate to expert skiers looking for a directional, stable ski that can
handle variable snow conditions—from soft to hard pack.
To achieve the optimum blend of stability and versatility, the
Salomon Quest line features a rockered tip, camber under
the foot and near the tail to deliver optimum float in the tip
with a stable, powerful platform on-piste and in mixed
conditions.
Salomon Quest skis feature honeycomb inserts and ABS in
the tip and tail to reduce swing weight and inertia for added
maneuverability. A new five-point sidecut called hook-free
taper pulls the widest point of the ski away from the
extremities and reduces hooking up in variable snow. The
Quest line has semi-sandwich construction to add liveliness
and stability underfoot. The range features four skis in
varying widths; Quest115, Quest98, Quest90 and Quest88.

Athlete-driven innovation brings new Nordic classic
ski construction for warmer conditions
With specific lasts, ski flexes and cambers, the Salomon S-Lab Classic
Nordic set offers optimum kick and acceleration
Ogden, UT—January 18, 2013—Salomon, a leader in technical design and innovation in
athletic outdoor sports, is proud to introduce the Salomon Nordic S-Lab
Classic Set.
S-Lab Classic skis are built with specific constructions for each snow
condition. New for 2013 is a warm universal construction, with a new
thickness curve and a specific press adjustment. It provides fantastic kick
and improved acceleration by constantly skimming above the snow, never
breaking after the kick. For cold and zero degree-conditions, the current
constructions have been improved in the press adjustment. All S-Lab skis
use the World Cup-winning Zeolit bases for fast speed, as well as
lightweight Nomex cores.
S-Lab Classic boots deliver optimized sole flex combined with RS 17
underfoot technology and recessed axis points for better kick and power
transmission. The adjustable heel strap with integrated spoiler distributes
pressure equally over the heel, providing greater comfort and superior
heel hold.
Based on Salomon’s benchmark SNS binding system, the Propulse RC
binding is lightweight, stable, and reliable. Designed to work seamlessly
with S-Lab Classic boots, SNS Propulse RC delivers direct transmission
and unmatched snow feel without added weight.
The S-Lab Carbon Pole is 100% carbon with a freeze-free cork grip and
Salomon’s unique click system for precise strap positioning and a thumb
rest so skiers can adjust their hand positions during longer outings.

Salomon S-Lab Skate ski built for speed and performance
Dedicated constructions for different snow conditions ensure the best behavior
Ogden, UT—January 18, 2013—Salomon, a leader in technical design and innovation in
athletic outdoor sports, is proud to introduce the Salomon S-Lab Skate Nordic ski set. Built by
athletes, for athletes, the S-Lab Skate set offers high performance products with dedicated
constructions for specific snow conditions.
The S-Lab Skate ski features a low-riding responsive camber with
carbon laminate from tip to tail delivering great acceleration on edge and
rebound, while ensuring stability. Meanwhile, lightweight Nomex cores
and World Cup winning Zeolit bases provide fast glide.
The Salomon S-Lab Skate ski uses a completely new build for warm
conditions and a soft ground construction for elite athletes who need
truly dedicated skis for falling snow or slow, cold snow.
“Having dedicated constructions for each condition ensures the
best behavior on snow,” explains Alexander Haas, Category
Manager for Salomon Nordic. “It ensures acceleration on edge,
rebound and stability.”
Salomon S-Lab Skate Pro boots incorporate Carbon Frame, a
lightweight carbon chassis and carbon Energyzer combination.
Together, they provide rigidity, efficient power transfer and ankle
support, ensuring that stride energy is transmitted into acceleration.
S-Lab Skate Pro boots offer Second Skin construction, fixing the
Quicklace lacing system on the boot’s external envelope for a
complete wrap of the foot.
The twin axis system on the set’s SNS Pilot Skate bindings offer enhanced torsional strength for
more efficient transmission and a more predictable ski return.
The Salomon S-Lab Carbon Pole is 100% carbon, creating a super light and strong pole. It
features Salomon’s unique click system to provide precise strap positioning and a thumb rest so
racers can adjust hand positioning.

Salomon Snowscape Nordic ski line gets an upgrade
A newly-innovated S-cut and optimized camber offer
recreational skiers a more natural kick and glide
Ogden, UT—January 8, 2013—Salomon, a leader in technical design and innovation
in mountain sports, is proud to introduce the newly redesigned Salomon Snowscape
Nordic ski line.
Designed to offer the improved stability, glide and maneuverability sought by recreational skiers,
the Snowscape features an S-cut design and optimized camber, creating an intuitive kick and
glide with a confidence boosting grip from
the G2 synchro waxless base technology.
Salomon Snowscape skis feature D-carbon
or Densolite cores and wood laminates for
a light and lively recreational skiing
experience.
“Recreational Nordic and fitness oriented
skiers expressed a need for skis that are
both stable and maneuverable, to give
them more comfort and balance while skiing,” said Salomon Nordic Brand Manager, Alexander
Haas. “But they still want light skis that glide well. The new Snowscape skis are really intuitive in
their kick and glide, so skiers can focus on having fun.”
To complete the set, Salomon’s lineup of Nordic touring boots are all designed to complement
the look and performance of the Snowscape and Salomon’s line of touring skis. The Profitl boot
returns with Salomon’s renowned fit and reliability, as the EscapeSiam Pilot boots offer added
support and further customized fit options.

Salomon’s new X-Max goggle features largest
field of vision on the market
Touch-free lens change system and new lens options give skiers more freedom
Ogden, UT—December 28, 2012—Salomon, a leader in technical design and innovation in
mountain sports, is proud to introduce the Salomon X-MAX Goggle. Combining the largest field
of vision on the market with quality fit and
convenience, the X-Max goggle delivers top
performance for the most demanding skiers.
Capitalizing on the reduced frame technology of
Salomon’s first goggle, the X-Tend, the X-Max goggle
further increases the vertical and horizontal fields,
offering skiers and riders a field of vision that is 30%
greater than most other goggles.
Salomon’s Custom Frame technology offers a
precise, comfortable fit. The X-Max also provides
skiers and riders with a patented touch-free lens changing system known as Salomon Easy
Change. This system protects the lens by eliminating the need to touch it. Simply open the
sliders on the sides of the lens, grab the front clips with two fingers (no need to touch the lens),
unclip the lens and insert your new lens.
Pairing perfectly with the Easy Change system is the addition of a variety of new lenses to the
X-Max lens fleet including: A photo-chromatic lens that changes with varying light conditions, a
polarized lens that blocks glare in the brightest light as well as a solid mix of high quality,
durable BNL/Zeiss lenses.
Salomon, the mountain sports company. Salomon was founded in 1947 in the heart of the French Alps.
Since then, we’ve been creating innovative products to enhance the performance of athletes.

Salomon introduces ultralight, high performance
helmet for the masses
The Hacker helmet incorporates a new shell construction and venting system
for the ultimate integration of technology and style
Ogden, UT—December 28, 2012—Salomon, a leader in technical design and innovation in
mountain sports, is proud to introduce the Hacker helmet.
Featuring Salomon’s innovative Twinshell technology, the
Hacker offers a superior level of performance, fit and style.
Twinshell construction is built on a durable, injected base
with a lightweight in-mold upper shell. Inside the in-mold is
a revolutionary internal venting system called Salomon
TwinShell Ventilation. TwinShell Ventilation is fed by only a few
small vents at the front of the helmet but still distributes airflow
in all directions. In addition, at only 330 grams, the Hacker is
one of the lightest helmets on the market.
“Our approach to product development has always been to push for innovation,” said Elina
Vorger, Salomon’s Product Line Manager for Helmets and Protectives. “So, when the Twinshell
concept became possible, we saw the opportunity to create a bridge between amazing
technology and style in the helmet market.”
In addition to TWINSHELL construction, the Hacker offers these fit features:
•
•
Oval Fit: Salomon’s proven fit in its helmet line.
Doc Meter® Custom Air System: Enables on-the-fly adjustment for comfort and precision
for any head shape.
Just like it delivers fit, the Hacker also delivers style. A comfortable, seamless, one piece liner
can be removed for use with a beanie. Designed for goggle integration, the Hacker allows users
to wear their goggle strap outside the helmet and have a perfect fit or inside the helmet by
utilizing the integrated strap channel.

ATHLETE BIOS
Most professional skiers will tell you that
they’ve been skiing their entire life. Bobby
Brown will tell you that he learned to ski
at age 11 and only seven years later was
competing at the X Games. Since then,
Bobby has won numerous contests and
starred in several major ski films. He fast
became one of the most popular guys in
the sport, and certainly one of the busiest.
In 2010, he won double gold at X Games in
slopestyle and big air, becoming the first
skier in X Games history to win two events.
The following year, Bobby won the 2010/11
Dew Cup championship, and in 2012 he won
two more X Games gold, in big air (Aspen)
and slopestyle (EuroX).
Mike Douglas, aka the Godfather of
freeskiing, has impacted the sport like
nobody else. Douglas grew up skiing moguls
and was a member of the New Canadian Air
Force. He is credited with helping to create
the first ever twin tip ski, which eventually
became the Salomon 1080. Today you’ll find
Mike creating the massively popular web
series Salomon Freeski TV with his company
Switchback Entertainment. The industry is
forever indebted to Mike Douglas and all that
he’s done for us.
Andreas Fransson is one of today’s most
prominent extreme skiers, taking the sport of
ski mountaineering to the next level. With a
solo first descent of the South Face of Denali
in spring 2011, Andreas has burst onto the
scene in a major way. His harrowing descents
from Chamonix to Patagonia to Norway and
all across Europe have shown that his limits
lie beyond the norm, and his capabilities in
the mountains are nearly unrivaled. Andreas
is a well spoken, thoughtful and articulate
person who takes calculated risks and will
surely pioneer new terrain across the world
for many years to come.
Kim Havell is one of the world’s premier
female ski mountaineers. Her career
began as a ski coach in the Telluride valley
before transitioning to climbing and ski
mountaineering in the San Juan Mountains.
Before leaving Telluride, Kim went on to
claim first female descents on several
classic lines. She is one of only a handful of
females to have major ski descents on all
seven continents, including first descents
on four of them. Kim has been featured in
several ski films over the years, and when
not skiing, keeps herself busy by writing for
Outside Magazine, Powder, ESPN, National
Geographic and more.
Greg Hill is an internationally renowned ski
mountaineer from Canada, best known for
hiking and skiing 2 million vertical feet in
one year. His tick list includes hundreds of
first descents around the world and in his
home mountains near Revelstoke, British
Columbia. Greg brings freeride skiing to
big mountains in remote locations and will
continue to push the envelope and inspire
backcountry enthusiasts for many years to
come.
Leo Ahrens hails from Salt Lake City, UT
and along with his Dubsatch Collective crew,
have been shredding Alta since they were
old enough to stand. At the ripe age of 19,
Leo has accomplished more than most could
ever dream of as a professional skier. He
has filmed with Warren Miller, Sweetgrass,
Matchstick Productions and Salomon Freeski
TV. But Leo does not solely excel in front of
the camera. He’s the man behind the lens in
many of the Dubsatch Collective’s films and
webisodes and has more big plans as a film
director in the future. When not skiing, Leo
is usually outside taking photos or capturing
video for one of the many projects brewing
in his head.
