Description

Three seasons in, the Salomon QST 106 Skis continue to solidify their position as one of the best all-round big mountain skis in the industry. Forgiving enough for a solid intermediate to have a gas on, but powerful and stable enough for top pros to trust as their daily driver, the QST 106 now includes basalt in the build for even more dampness and performance. Stop worrying about which skis to use on a given day and just grab the Salomon QST 106 and run with it; they’ll do you proud in anything from 2 feet of blower to packed pow groomers.

Rocker Type
Twin Rocker – Long, medium height rocker profile at the tip and tail enables easy pivoting with maximum flotation and maneuverability in powder. The ski retains a long contact zone on edge with camber in the middle of the ski for stability and edge grip.

Carve Zone – The traditionally cambered section of twin rocker skis, where the side-cut is focused fro more power, energy and edge grip.

Shape
Spaceframe 3.0 FR – Bi-directional design philosophy built to perform in powder and soft snow, thanks to twin rocker and a Koroyd tip and tail.

Hook Free Taper – This ski has a 5 point sidecut, where the tip and tail taper in the narrow at the extremities for easier turn initiation and steering in soft and variable snow conditions.

Core
Light Poplar Full Woodcore

Koroyd Honeycomb Tip & Tail – The lightest extremities for better flotation, less inertia for easier steering and more control while increasing dampening and shock resistance.

Laminates
C/FX³ – Unique prepreg fiber layer consisting of Carbon, Basalt and Flax woven together, running the full length of the ski. Combines the incredible strength and minimal weight of carbon fiber for stability and reinforcement, with an increased level of dampening and vibration absorption above and beyond anything found on traditional carbon and light ski constructions. Patented and exclusive to Salomon.

Ti Power Platform – Titanal insert edge-to-edge.

Pulse Pad – Two layers of rubber elastomer in the tip, tail and underfoot give shock absorption and improve durability of ski.

Sidewalls
Full Sandwich Sidewall 360° – Full sandwich with ABS sidewall construction extending around the entire sidewall length for increased ski/snow contact, added strength and great terrain adaptation.

Edges
Total Edge Reinforcement – A fiber reinforcement directly on the edges that provides edge stiffness for improved durability and grip.

Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
