A special buy enables us to bring you the super popular Salomon Q-85 R Skis at a remarkable price. The Q-85 R is based on the ultra versatile Q-85, but beefed up with a slightly more durable topsheet. This ski is a great all-round performer with easy turn initiation, a silky smooth ride, and nimble handling in trees and bumps - in short, the perfect all mountain ride for intermediate to advanced skiers who spent the majority of their time on prepared snow but aren't afraid to mix it up in the fresh when the opportunity arises.
Utility Rocker – Long and gradual rocker in the tip, camber underfoot, and a very slight amount of rocker at the tail.
Carve Zone – The traditionally cambered section of twin rocker skis, where the sidecut is focused for more power, energy and edge grip.
Hook Free Taper – 5-Point sidecut shape with taper at the tip and tail for easier turning in deep and variable snow
Full Woodcore – A full wood core from tip to tail creates a strong, stable, and responsive ski by maximizing ski to snow contact and filtering vibrations out.
Semi Sandwich Sidewall – A combination of ABS sidewall in the middle of the ski and monocoque in the tip and tail; strong edge grip underfoot and increased maneuverability.
Wide Edges – For durability and shock resistance.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Wait, you want to use your touring boots in your alpine bindings? Sure, people do it (including many who should know better), but the proper approach is to get the Atomic Warden 13 Ski Bindings so you have both enough toe height to accommodate your ISO 9523 boot sole AND a moving AFD so you get consistent lateral release. The Warden 13 is the perfect solution for "crossover" boots with a rockered sole and WTR or GripWalk rubber as well.
U Power Toe – A new streamlined toepiece with superior holding power and energy transfer.
Oversized Platform – Extra wide platform for maximum power transmission.
Manual Toe Height Adjustment
Sliding AFD (Anti Friction Device)
