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.

The Marker Griffon Ski Bindings are our top selling performance binding year after year. The reasons are obvious - excellent energy transmission, light weight compared to other bindings in its class, and solid durability have made the Griffon a fan favorite that finds its way onto more freeride skis than any other 12 to 14 DIN clamp. Marker's gliding AFD (anti-friction device) ensures consistent release with all types of ISO 5355 alpine soles and is less dependent on cleanliness or condition than stationary AFD's. The Inter Pivot Heel is time tested and offers excellent vertical elasticity as well as reliable release when you really need it. Step into the Griffon this season and find your own sweet spot.
AFD Gliding Plate – All Marker bindings (except the Jester Pro) are equipped with a moveable AFD (Anti Friction Device), allowing a precise release unhindered by dirt, snow, and ice buildup. The type of AFT is matched to the skier type, ensuring perfect functionality from racing to junior and even alpine touring.
Triple Pivot Elite Toe Piece – With a horizontally oriented spring, it provides the highest energy absorption to reduce the risk of early release. The secure purchase on the boot lug optimizes power transmission and allows for durable, high energy use. The performance to weight ratio of the Triple Pivot toe is truly unmatched in the industry.
Inter Pivot Heel – This industry-leading construction delivers superior holding power for all types of freeskiing. Its design focuses power in the direction of the boot sole, increasing elasticity. The overall design creates optimum power transmission.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
