Who would love these

The Salomon QST 98 Skis are perfect for advanced skiers who love exploring the entire mountain. They're ideal for those who enjoy off-piste adventures, powder days, and tackling varied terrains. If you want a ski that offers stability at high speeds and playfulness in softer snow, these are for you. However, if you primarily ski on icy groomers, you might want to consider other options.

Why I recommend these

Versatile performance
Stable at high speeds
Playful in powder
Great edge grip

Expert verdict

The Salomon QST 98 Skis are a dream for advanced skiers who crave versatility and performance across the mountain. With a 98mm waist and a playful rocker profile, these skis excel in powder, trees, and off-piste adventures. The blend of carbon, flax, and titanal ensures stability and dampness at high speeds, making them reliable on hard snow too. While they might not be the best for icy groomers, their ability to handle varied conditions makes them a fantastic one-ski quiver. If you're looking to push your limits and explore every corner of the mountain, these skis are your ticket.

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.

Zach Sarantakes tested this product
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
Ideal for
  • Takes on moguls at speed really well
  • Great flex
  • Feels really nice and stable in rough terrain

Lucas Admire owns this product
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.

Erik was great!
5 /5
Erik was very helpful in assisting me to pick out my first pair of skis and ski bindings! I am an intermediate-level skier but have always used rental skis, so when looking to buy my own, I didn't have much of a knowledge-base. Erik was very helpful in answering my questions and with narrowing down which skis would be a good fit for me, taking into consideration my height/weight, skill level, skiing strengths and weaknesses, and price range. Thank you very much, Erik!

This was my first time buying snow sport gear of any kind. Tyler used the information I gave him to give me some really great choices and get me all set up with a board, bindings, and a helmet. He was very responsive to my questions and had recommendations for sizes and settings that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. He was great!

5 /5
Tyler made great recommendations and really took the time to understand where my skill level is at and where I intend to ski. Ultimately, I was uncomfortable making the investment without trying the skis first, so I ended up buying a pair that I had rented several times and really liked. I had so many questions and came very close to purchasing skis a few months ago but now I that I have nearly finished this season I have a better idea of what I was looking for!

Nico helped me decide what length Atomic Mavens to get and bindings. He helped me decide that these skis will work on East Coast ice and Jackson Hole powder. I wish Curated was sticking around because it's such a great service. My cousin bought skis bindings and boots last year with curated and is stoked.

Tyler helped to reassure me on the board I have been eying, while also suggesting the best options for boots and bindings; he never tried to push the most expensive option, but rather gave me a number of choices to consider for myself (and in fact, recommended a cheaper boot option than the one I went with!). He was a great help and I feel confident that he helped me make a solid purchase.

I was looking at updating my board and was just looking around. After a quick chat with John to narrow down which board to pick, he made it easier than going into a store. He helped out with an additional discount that no other website could beat. Too hard to pass up a great deal, I bought the board and bindings. Cheers to debuting it before the season ends!

She knew exactly what I was looking for...
5 /5
I already knew what skis I was trying to find, based on the conditions I wanted to ski and also based on my skill level. Not only did she recommend the exact skis that I had been looking for, but she also recommended a better set of bindings than the ones I had previously thought were a good fit. I love that she's a neighbor over in VT while I'm in NH, so she knows East Coast (Ice Coast) skiing like I do. I'm so excited for the deal I just landed on brand new 2025 skis, and I have Shannon to thank for helping me narrow down the perfect fit. I'm just so sad to hear this amazing company is closing its doors, but while the deals are good and before they go, I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks again, Shannon! Happy skiing!

Noah helped me tremendously. I kind of knew what I wanted but by asking the right questions, he helped point me in the best direction for my changing skill level and age and kind of terrain I'd be skiing more since moving to a different state. He took everything into account. He gave me choices for each item I wanted---skis, bindings, poles---and put together a perfect curation! I'm super stoked to be able to take advantage of the discounts of course, but I never would've been able to do that or even find such great equipment without Noah's help!
