The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

This ski offered a top level experience through deep snow. It felt great underfoot, and it was stable and responsive in the deep, heavy snow. It has a great flex pattern to it that lends to an easy groomer experience, and doesn't fight back or fold over too much when you try to make some sharp turns on packed snow. Easy feel in the tail and a wide maneuverable tip makes surfing this ski through the deep snow a breeze.

Ideal for
  • Deep or soft snow powerhouse
  • Great flexibility without sacrificing stability
  • Easy turns for a big ski
Not ideal for
  • Little heavier than it looks
  • Can chatter just a bit at high speed
  • Takes some effort to get up on edge at slower speeds

The Salomon QST Blank is a seriously bomber freeride ski built for advanced to expert level skiers, that was designed by the Salomon team riders themselves. This ski is 112mm underfoot, filling the gap in the Salomon QST series perfectly, smack in the middle of the QST 106 and QST 118. These skis are energetic, snappy, and supportive. This ski is torsionally stiff, which gives it amazing underfoot grip and carving power, and adds to on- and off-trail versatility. Carbon in the tips and tails keeps weight down, and a cork damplifier keeps a solid and stable feel and eliminates chatter at any speed. Get ready for a fun and energetic ride on any powder or big mountain adventure.

Key Features:

  • Cok Damplifier – Using cork in the tip and tail enables a high level of absorption and dampening while reducing weight in the ski. Cork is one of the most absorptive materials that can be sued when building a ski.
  • Carbon Weave – Patented weave provides superior and unrivaled versatility due to the power of carbon and flax together. This allows for one of the best performance-to-weight ratios on the market.
  • Double Sidewall Construction – A high-density injected piece of ABS underfoot, combined with full-length sidewalls, creates a strong platform underfoot for maximum grip, especially on firmer or icy snow.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Edward! Going in to buying skis I had no idea what to look for and super anxious about finding the perfect skis. He gave me great recommendations and guided me every step of the way. Super attentive and overall a great resource! If you are paired with Edward you’re in great hands! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Edward for everything! You truly made the experience amazing for me from offering recommendations, answering questions, and supporting me throughout the process! You’re the best!!!

This guy will answer as many questions as you can throw his way- even if you ask the same question 5 different ways. NEVER felt like he got annoyed with me. Super knowledgeable and if he didn't know the exact right answer he said he'd find out and did quickly. I don't expect anyone to know everything, and I respect when someone can admit it and know where to find it. I'm still asking him questions even after my purchase lolHighly Recommended!!! Thanks Brenden.

Josh helped me figure out exactly what it is that I needed. Ive been a skateboarder for 20+ years and he has helped me transition to snowboarding by guiding me into the direction that most fits a person with heavy skateboarding background. He explained the gear and everything. He listened to my story and helped me define a setup from just that information.

I am truly grateful for the time Daniela spent taking care of my many questions as I decided on equipment for skiing. There are so many measurements to deal with (Daniela mentioned ones I didn’t even know I needed to know) it was frustrating. She held my hand, and I’m confident I have something for my skill level. There are settings I know I will need some pro help on like DIN settings. I’m looking forward to hitting the slopes with my new gear. Thanks Daniela!

Jarom was responsive and understanding. He made sure he understood what I was looking for, and helped explain what he thought would be a good fit. When I approached him with another Ski, he was quick to assure me that it was a good ski, but also why he thought the one he chose would be a better fit. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience

5 /5
I was in the market for a new snowboard and bindings for the 2024 season. I have had the same set up for about 10 years now and was ready to invest in a solid set up. I filled out the Curated questionnaire and was lucky to land Dave as my Curated expert. I chatted it up with Dave on what I like to do on the mountains and within 20 min I received his recommended line up of boards and bindings. Dave took the time to provide a detailed description for each board/bindings along with a personalize video as well which was so cool! Literally feel like I’m friends with the guy now, ha! I ended up going with the T. Rice Pro with the Union Falcor bindings. PUMPED for the 2024 season to rip it on my new setup! Dave is the man 🤙🏼

5 /5
I came onto this website not sure what to expect, and I'm walking away with a new pair of skis and bindings that I am confident will work great for me. Hayden was super knowledgable on the many types of skis and helped me with the many many questions I had for him. He was also super fun and light hearted which made my buying experience that much better. I will definitely be recommending Hayden and this website to others looking to buy skis, and will appreciate all he did for me :)
