2021 Salomon QST 106 Skis

The Salomon QST 106 skis are a perfect choice for skiers who spend the majority of their time in search of soft snow. While not a dedicated pow ski by any means, it’s wide enough and shaped enough to create some good float in deep snow. Conversely, it’s by no means an on-trail specific ski either, but that doesn’t stop it from having a strong on-piste personality. The upgrades include additional carbon and flax for stiffness while lightening the ski. Also, the addition of a cork material in the tips and tails does a fantastic job in reducing vibrations while also decreasing swing weight. The end result of the changes is a more capable ski that is lighter and more versatile. From backcountry adventures to resort powder days, the Salomon QST 106 skis are a fantastically well-rounded set of skis that can handle a huge variety of snow conditions and terrain. Feel free to take these things anywhere, and at 1800 grams per 181 cm ski, they’re light enough for all of your ski adventure needs. The tip and tail are a bit more tapered, and this increases maneuverability without changing the turn radius too much. As a result, the skis are a lot easier in the moguls and trees, or any other area in which quickness and maneuverability are a must. The Salomon QST 106 skis are a fantastic choice for skiers looking for a versatile soft-snow ski that has an emphasis for off-piste adventures.
