The Salomon QST 106 Skis aren't just for deep days—they're for advanced to expert skiers who chase the best snow on the mountain, whether that's fresh stashes in the trees or wind-blown pockets along the ridge. A full poplar core mutes chatter and vibrations while keeping the ski lively and stable across everything from packed groomers to soft chop, while basalt fiber fine-tunes the flex for responsive edge grip that won't tire you out by noon. The freeride profile (rocker/camber/rocker) delivers the versatility you need to pivot through powder, lock into a carve on firm snow, or slash through variable terrain without missing a beat. Cork Damplifier inserts in the tip and tail smooth out the rough spots, and ABS sidewalls add durability and rigidity—so you can stay out longer, ski harder, and feed that adventuring spirit lap after lap.
