Introducing the Salomon QST Range

The Salomon QST range is the result of Salomon's expertise and the merging of the Rocker and Quest lines. This range offers a comprehensive selection of equipment for mountain sports, from skis to ski boots, as well as garments, helmets, and goggles.

The skis in this series are renowned for their versatility and ability to tackle all mountain conditions. For example, the QST 106 is a freeride model that has won over the most daring skiers. The QST 98 stands out with its versatile 98 mm waist, providing enhanced performance on hard snow.

The QST range is not limited to these two models. It also includes the QST 92, an all-mountain/freeride ski designed to meet the expectations of the modern skier, as well as the QST Spark, a more freestyle-oriented ski, also available as a junior ski, emphasising playfulness.

In short, the Salomon QST range is a series of skis that combine lightness, strength, and performance, ready to take on any challenge you throw at them.

Model Comparison: 92, 98, 106, and X

With different widths, the QST 92, 98, 106, and X allow various skier profiles to find the model that meet their expectations.

QST 92

Known for its lightness and stability, it offers excellent performance on hard snow, in mogul fields, or on the steepest slopes. It provides great manoeuvrability and ease of use.

QST 98 and Lumen 98

It is remarkable for its versatility, modern shape, and 98 mm waist. It can tackle any challenge, whether it's jumping cliffs, doing butters on a cornice, or more modestly on runs between the trees.

QST 106

This is the ultimate freeride ski in the range, capable of handling all types of terrain thanks to its versatile width. It is also appreciated for its performance and stability, despite being slightly heavier.

QST X

The QST X is the most exclusive model in the range. It is the widest with a generous 116 mm waist, guaranteeing excellent float in deep powder. The traditional camber in the centre of the ski ensures good edge hold underfoot, while the double rocker enhances float and manoeuvrability.

Focus on QST 98 (available in 169, 176, 183, or 189)

Salomon QST 98: feedback after testing

Tested in all-mountain conditions, the Salomon QST 98 is considered stable and comfortable on groomed runs, particularly responsive in short turns. Off-piste, feedback highlights a ski that performs beautifully in deep snow, offering excellent float. The double rocker is frequently praised for its efficiency in powder and chopped snow.

After extended use, the ski is described as playful, agile and versatile, capable of both carving and skidding with ease. Overall, the tests confirm it as an outstanding all-mountain ski with a freeride bias, well-suited to a wide range of snow conditions.

Salomon QST Spark: feedback after testing

Used in real-world conditions, the Salomon QST Spark proves effective as an all-mountain ski, delivering solid on-piste performance. It is often recommended for those looking to explore backcountry terrain while remaining confidence-inspiring on groomer.

In very deep snow, its limitations become apparent, as the waist width is considered a little narrow, although the ski remains manageable.

How and Where Are Salomon QST Skis Made?

The production of Salomon QST skis involves several stages, all focused around sustainability. The Salomon production facility, located in Altenmarkt, Austria, produces 400,000 pairs of skis annually, using 100% recycled ABS for the sidewalls, and the topsheet is made of 30% recycled materials.
