2025 Line Pandora 85 Skis with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings

The all-new 2025 Line Pandora 85 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is a lightweight and stable all-mountain setup with a frontside focus, designed to excel on groomed runs while offering the versatility to venture off the beaten path. It combines the agility of a quick, short-turning piste ski with the adaptability of a freeride-oriented model, providing both progressing skiers and advanced riders the confidence to explore and shred with ease. We paired the Pandora with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

The Pandora 85 stands out as a versatile choice for progressing skiers who want excellent on-trail performance without being confined to the piste.

Who it's for:

Progressing intermediate skiers will appreciate the Pandora 85’s intuitive feel, which helps them refine their technique while offering the capability to explore beyond groomed terrain.

Highlights:

With a 14-meter turn radius and a firm flex underfoot, the Pandora 85 is designed for quick, precise turns on hardpack. Its progressive shape and rocker profile enhance maneuverability and versatility, allowing for a wide range of turn shapes and making it accessible for various skiing styles. The ski features an FSC Certified Aspen wood core and uses Bio Resin adhesive, making it both enjoyable and a more sustainable choice. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission

Things to consider:

The Pandora 85 has a distinctive flex pattern, being quite stiff underfoot but soft in the tips and tails. Heavier or more aggressive skiers might find the tips and tails too soft for their preference.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
