Described by Salomon as a versatile ski for aspiring park riders who want to improve their freestyling skills, we couldn’t have put it better ourselves! More versatile than some freestyle skis too, but still not a ski for general all-round skiing.

Great for :

reasonably versatile as freestyle skis go

Not so great for :

it’s not a piste ski!

Target ability level :

Light, manoeuvrable and fun for intermediate skiers starting out in the park or for tricks and jumps off the side of the pistes, the Threat is also a reasonably versatile option as freestyle skis go – ideal for a teenager who insists on twin tips when they’re probably going to spend next to no time in the park!

The composite core is made up of very lightweight materials while the Edgy Monocoque construction is designed specifically for Salomon’s freestyle skis and reduces material towards the extremities of the ski while maintaining good grip and edge control underfoot.

The Threat is a directional twin, so it does perform better running forward than switch, but the twin style tail will do all the switch an intermediate skier is going to need, while giving the ski a more suitable shape for some tail grip and edge hold for more all round skiing on harder snow.
