2027 Salomon QST 106 Skis

The QST 106 is one of the most versatile freeride skis on the market. It feels equally at home skiing powder, weaving through tight trees or charging chopped-up snow, making it an excellent one-ski quiver for Western Canadian conditions.

Freeride Profile

A Rocker-Camber-Rocker profile provides excellent float in soft snow while maintaining confident edge grip on firmer conditions.

Full Poplar Woodcore

Delivers a lively, predictable flex with excellent stability and vibration absorption.

Cork Damplifier

Cork inserts in the tip reduce vibration and chatter, resulting in a smoother ride through chopped snow.

Basalt Superlight Fibers

Increase stability and responsiveness without adding unnecessary weight.

Titanal Binding Reinforcement

An edge-to-edge Titanal plate underfoot improves binding retention, durability and power transfer.

Full Sandwich Sidewall

Provides strong edge hold, precision and durability across changing snow conditions.

Who is the QST 106 designed for?

It's designed for advanced skiers looking for a versatile freeride ski that excels in powder, chopped snow and technical terrain.

Is it a powder ski?

Yes, but it's much more than that. The 106 mm waist offers excellent float while remaining agile enough for everyday resort skiing.

Can I mount touring bindings?

Yes. The QST 106 pairs exceptionally well with hybrid bindings like the Salomon Shift² for a versatile 50/50 setup.

Does it perform well on groomers?

Yes. Its Full Sandwich Sidewall construction and moderate turn radius provide excellent edge grip for a ski in this width category.

What's new for 2027?

The 2027 model carries over Salomon's completely redesigned QST platform introduced last season, with updated graphics and the same award-winning construction.
