"I love the 94 for the harder snow — first thing in the morning, railing groomers, laying down some nice GS turns. Then we stepped over to the 106, where it's steeper and bumpier, that off-piste terrain — that's when the 106 really excels. I started off on the [more beginner-oriented] 92, a ski I'd never skied before, and it felt super intuitive and easy to ride, a lot of fun on those hard morning groomers. And then, when it started softening up, I brought out the 100. It just felt like an immensely playful ski that you could still really push and charge."

The 2027 Salomon QST lineup splits into four distinct rides, each built to answer a different question about how you ski the mountain. Every ski in the family shares a full poplar woodcore for a lively, stable platform, but the shape, rocker, and flex shift hard from the playful QST 100 to the charge-anything QST 106. evo spent a week putting all four through Revelstoke's variable conditions alongside Salomon's own category manager, and the verdict was clear: there's a QST built for wherever you land on the mountain.
