Salomon QST 106 Skis 2023
Model Info
Product Info
The Salomon QST 106 Skis are a masterclass in ski design. Smooth taper into the tips, just the right amount of heft around the middle, and purposeful blunted tails. They're elegant and directional, meant to balance the demands for fun and practicality in a snow sliding device. They're lightweight and highly technical, but use a blend of natural materials like cork and flax fiber to counterbalance the carbon and ABS that could lead to a twitchy feel when left alone. They're a perfect synergy of art and science, nature and artifice, and the smooth S turns they leave across snow-swept landscapes are a testament to the success of the synergy.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Tip and Tail Rocker
Core
Poplar Full Woodcore – A woodcore from tip to tail offers optimum stability on snow and powerful rebound. Maximizes ski-to-snow contact and filters vibrations.
Laminates
Cork Damplifier – Cork is 16 times more absorptive than Koroyd. Using it in the tip and/or tail of the ski enables a high level of vibration absorption and dampening while decreasing weight.
C/FX Carbon Weave – The patented blend of carbon fiber and flax provides superior versatility thanks to an unrivaled performance-to-weight ratio.
Sidewalls
Double Sidewall Construction – A high density injected piece of ABS underfoot combined with full length sidewalls creates a strong platform underfoot to maximize the grip on hard snow.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.
- Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius
Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
- Core/Laminates: Carbon, Flax, Wood

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
