The Salomon QST 98 is back this season with a slightly more freestyle design, while still be able to handle high speed skiing and do well on hard snow. This ski is made for advanced skiers who want access to the whole mountain and performance in all conditions. Reinforced with carbon, flax, and titanal, the QST 98 is stable and damp at high speeds and can hold its edge well. 98mm underfoot with decent rocker in the tips and tails, this ski shines off-piste, in the trees and powder, and really allows skiers to push limits on and off the trails.
Key Features:
- C/FX and Cork Damplifier – Salomon adds a full layer of blended carbon and flax to the ski, along with cork in the tips and tails to keep the ski very damp without excess weight. The cork in the tips/tails helps prevent chatter at high speeds, while the C/FX layer increases torsional stiffness and stability throughout the body of the ski.
- TI Binding Reinforcement – A section of Titanal is added edge to edge in the center section of the ski to really increase energy transference and stability underfoot, especially when carving and getting the ski on edge.
- Full Sandwich Sidewalls – Using full sidewalls through the entire ski, the edge grip is greatly increased and also creates a more precise skiing experience for more technical terrain.

This ski is great for the advanced and almost reckless skiers. People who like to go fast, stop on a dime, turn hard, tackle moguls and catch a little air off them too. I was hitting the same run over and over where I started with a jump, then hit 40 mph, stopped hard, and then sent it down a... Read more

The Salomon QST will be a great all-mountain ski at the 98 underfoot. It will perform fantastically as a groomer cruiser and still be able to lay down some carves once the day starts. The QST will be a relatively soft ski for being in that all-mountain class but rips incredibly well through softer groomers and new snow. Great all-around... Read more

Ian Scott tested this product
The Salomon QST 98 ski is a great all-mountain ski for anyone skiing out west in most conditions or even east-coast skiers when it has snowed recently. Despite a lot of rocker on this ski, it still can be carved on fresh corduroy with confidence, making this ski a versatile option. It feels very eager to make quick turns and... Read more
Ideal for
- Very quick and easy to turn. Makes moguls feel like a breeze.
- Extremely versatile in a broad range of conditions from a lack of snow, to up to a foot of fresh snow.
- Playful and fun to pop and jump around the mountain, but holds up to some strong skiing.
Not ideal for
- Carving performance doesn't match skis with more metal.
- There are skis that can handle extremely hard charging better.

Spencer was very thorough in getting information on my skill level, goals, where I typically ride, etc., all to help curate a list of gear that suits what I need. He was super kind and responsive. As someone who hasn’t been snowboarding in a long time, it felt intimidating to get back into it but Spencer made it feel approachable and I’m really looking forward to this upcoming season. He is definitely very knowledgeable and his passion for snowboarding really shows!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Josh at Curated to find a replacement for my 10-year-old snowboard, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I reached out, Josh was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about snowboarding. He took the time to understand my riding style, preferences, and budget, making me feel confident that I was in great hands.
Josh provided a curated selection of snowboards that perfectly matched my needs, explaining the benefits of each option in detail. His recommendations were spot-on, and I appreciated his honest feedback—he truly has a knack for matching riders with the right gear.
Thanks to Josh's expertise, I ended up with a fantastic snowboard that will improve my performance on the slopes. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about helping you find the right equipment, I highly recommend reaching out to Josh . His dedication and professionalism made all the difference, and I'm excited for many more seasons of riding ahead!

Sarah knows her boards and made picking one quick and easy. I was looking for an upgrade from my 15 year old board and Sarah took the time to get to know everything I needed from a new board and selected fantastic options. She helped narrow it down even more and ultimately helped me pick the perfect board for me.

I'd been skiing on some ancient secondhand skis that finally bit it last season, and Ethan was a great help in getting me outfitted with new gear for this year! He gave good consideration to my skill level and input, and the reasoning behind his recommendations were easy to understand and much appreciated.
