The Salomon QST 106 is a free ride oriented ski that shines in deep snow and off-piste conditions, while still having plenty of hard snow capabilities to function as a great daily driver on the west coast, or for advanced skiers who prioritize powder and off trail performance. 106mm underfoot, with a long tapered rocker in the tips and tails, this ski is made to conquer deep snow and big mountain lines with confidence. With added Carbon, flax, and titanal they have precise handling and easy turn initiation, making them playful over the entire mountain.

Key Features:

  • Poplar Wood Core – Salomon build the QST line around a full Poplar wood core. This creates a lively and stable ski that helps minimize vibrations.
  • Cork Damplifier and C/FX – In addition to the Poplar wood core, Salomon adds cork in the tips and tails to help further reduce chatter, and use a layer of blended Carbon and Flax materials through the ski to increase torsional stiffness and stability at speed.
  • TI Binding Reinforcement – Titanal is added edge to edge in the center of the ski to increase edge grip and carving performance without adding unnecessary weight.
  • Full Sandwich Sidewalls – Full length sidewalls, with added high density ABS material underfoot, maximizes hard snow performance and edge grip through the camber of the ski.

Sam Snyder owns this product
I have been in love with the QST series since the start. I am a huge fan of the no-nonsense mid-flex and beefy feel. It feels substantial in the best way. That confidence-inspiring feel, added to the playful shape, allows any skier to feel ultimate control. They have added cork in the tips to minimize chatter and make some... Read more
Ideal for
  • Someone who likes a really fun mid-flex ski, plays and charges with the best of them.
  • Best for skiers who want a really predictable ski.
  • Someone who wants a real one-ski-quiver.
Not ideal for
  • It is on the heavy side.
  • Skiers feel the mid-flex when pushing it really really hard.
  • The turn radius is larger than some skis in this category.

The Salomon QST 106s are a great ski for intermediate and advanced skiers looking for a good everyday, all-mountain ski option. A middle-of-the-road turning radius, a stiff core, and wide tips and tails make this ski stable in all types of snow conditions. From groomers to chopped-up crud and even powder, these skis can do it all! While these skis... Read more
Ideal for
  • Great all-mountain, directional ski.
  • Capable of charging through chopped up snow but can carve on groomers, too.
  • Great option for a one ski quiver-killer.
Not ideal for
  • Heavy
  • Stable but not very playful.

This product is the best for intermediate and advanced skiers. I have friends who drop 15 foot cliffs on these skis and I have friends who rip trees and groomers on the QSTs. On heavy days, these skis keep it smooth and quiet despite the variable conditions - yet they don't feel heavy. On powder days, these skis float with... Read more
Ideal for
  • This product is best for all mountain skiing.
  • Its responsiveness allows it to initiate turns with ease.
  • The QSTs durability makes it a smooth charger in adverse conditions.
Not ideal for
  • The ski holds up great in the backcountry, but is not the lightest touring ski available.

Great west coast daily driver

Originally posted at www.salomon.com on May 1, 2023
I bought QST 106s last year to serve as my west coast daily ski. From powder to steeps and bumps these skis are great, surprisingly agile given the waist width. Probably a bit heavy for touring but great resort ski and small missions.

NO durability

Originally posted at www.salomon.com on Mar 20, 2023
The QST serious are an incredible ski, for their weight and ride. I’ve been skiing the 99 and the 106s for the past four seasons and love the way they ski. But, they are a fragile ski. They have a problem that the core cracks, as I found on the 99 and that the edges are so weak compared to similar price/type of skis as I learned with the 106. If you want an amazing ski, but only want it for half a season before it fails in some way this is your skis. If you want a ski that is very similar but actually lasts more than half a season look elsewhere. Having ridden similar (like the Head Kore) skis in similarly hard charging rocky terrain and never had any durability issues I unfortunately have to move on to skis that last longer.

Katie was very persistent in finding what worked best for me!
5 /5
She never gave up and kept me updated on deals that would better work with my budget yet still provide me the support and structure in a board that I needed for my plans in pursuing this sport! I really appreciated her help even though I wasn’t very responsive and that just goes to show her determination. Honestly a gem!

I know nothing about skis and this was so easy!
5 /5
I've been skiing for about 6 years now but have spent all that time learning how now to bust my butt, and not about the actual gear. I knew I was ready to upgrade the second-hand beginner skis I bought 7 years ago but had no idea where to start. Ben did all the leg work for me, gave me easy to understand feedback about his choices, and then answered all of my questions. 12/10 would recommend!

Thank you Casey🤙🏼 much love and I appreciate your time and expertise. Casey was knowledgeable, supportive, listened to my worries and needs. Casey Worked with me on multiple options for my new equipment. Casey was very responsive, checked in with me to make sure this was the right purchase for me. Casey also let me know that the board I was debating on purchasing had a low stock left. I did finally purchased my new board. I held off on buying bindings. I only did that because, what I wanted was out of stock. Casey, The mountains are calling, and I must go."

As a first-time buyer of any snowboarding equipment, I had no idea what I was looking for. With his personalized informative video, he explained why he suggested me certain items, explained specs, and overall taught me a lot in a short amount of time. Everything was 'curated' for me. Amazing job Billy!

Spent a few hours researching on my own and stumbled across Curated and Mike was my expert and within 20-30mins I ordered my first ever Snowboard, boots and bindings all within my estimated budget.

I've been eyeing these VANS for awhile, but just never pulled the trigger on them. When I was letting Scott know what I wanted, these and the Encore OG were his choices for me! Luckily both were great prices! I took a few days to think about it and now I'm excited that they're finally on their way! Thanks, Scott!
