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 field of huge moguls. The skis were super responsive and stable in every condition.
- Takes on moguls at speed really well
- Great flex
- Feels really nice and stable in rough terrain
- doesn't feel at home on groomers
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.

What do you love about this product?
There's a lot to love about the QST 98, mainly that it can do everything you can dream of outside of the terrain park incredibly well. It's refreshing to not have think - "What skis are going to be the most fun today?" and instead say, "Let's see where my skis can take me today."Why did you choose this product?
I think the Salomon QST 98 has one of the best personalities for an all mountain one ski quiver in the whole industry. It hits a perfect sweet spot for making the most of everything you could possibly want to do on the mountain.What was your favorite moment with this gear?
I will never forget a day in Vail where it snowed so much that the roads leading to the resort both East and West were closed, meaning the mountain was practically empty. It was just endless powder filling in the back bowls, with no lift lines, and a pack of whooping locals cheering you on with every turn. The Salomon QST 98s delivered a fantastic ride. Easily one of the top 10 powder days in my life.Similar ski gear
