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.

Andrew Veld owns this product
Super happy with this ski. Definitely a great ski for average powder days. Still performs well on groomers. A bit heavier than a typical powder ski. But this definitely translates to it ripping through choppy powder at the end of those powder days when most things have been skied out already.
Ideal for
  • Great for days with a foot of dense powder
  • Still holds an edge well for a powder ski
  • Cuts through the crud and chop super well and tips don't rattle
Not ideal for
  • A bit heavier compared to other powder skis

Man I love this ski

Originally posted at www.salomon.com on May 31, 2023
I bought this near the end of the season but I've had nothing but great days on these bad boys. For how big of a ski they are I was worried they might be too much but they far exceeded my expectations. THESE THINGS ARE FUN!

Super fun and playfull in the Powder... BUT

Originally posted at www.salomon.com on Mar 12, 2023
Super happy with them other than the top sheet is starting to pull apart at the tip of one ski after 3 days of powder. No impacts, no slamming them down, no cliff drops, just skiing in powder. I have reached out to have them warrantied so we will see how this goes, I want to give them 5 stars, but have to knock them down to 3 due to this issue.

Very Helpful and Knowledgeable
5 /5
I had many questions, and after a few days we finally got stuff figured out. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful and knowledgeable which is defiantly better then going to facebook marketplace. I tried that, but the information from an expert just helps much more. I would defiantly recommend Ryan to other customers.

I very much enjoyed working with Leo on my ski purchase. I had done some research on my own but had not settled on a particular ski. I came across Curated by accident and did not know I would be connected to a live person - and someone who is quite knowledgeable as well! Leo listened to what I was looking for and put together some recommendations personalized for me. I was able to review these on my own schedule and later discuss my questions with Leo to finalize my selection. I’ll definitely recommend Leo and Curated to friends and will be back for my next pair of skis!

I was super skeptical of this website at first I assumed the suggestions were just from an AI generated bot, but Leo is definitely a real human and a knowledgeable one at that! He knew the area i ski in maine and made suggestions based off my skill level and northeast conditions. Can’t wait to take my new gear out in a few months!

I wanted to talk about how happy I am with my experience here at Curated and with my expert Bernard. Bernard was very helpful and knowledgeable about the equipment I was looking for, and provided different ideas on how I can make my skiing experience even more enjoyable! Bernard really is an amazing Ski Expert and I will definitely buy new gear from him from now on! Thanks Bernard! - John

Having some experience snowboarding but never owning my own equipment, I had lots of questions and needed a lot of help. I’m so glad I found curated and Josh! He was able to educate me and guide me through the process…and made sure I got a super deal. He always responded promptly and was patient with my never ending questions. All the gear is perfect, we can’t wait to hit the mountain!

I was skeptical about buying ski gear online, but with Michael's expertise and input it worked out great. No only is Michael super knowledgeable, but he really took the time to understand our requirements and match us with the right gear. Never any pressure, always patient, helpful, and super responsive. I would definitely recommend working with him.

Frankie is A1, top notch and his ratings and reviews speaks for itself. I went to 3 different ski shops in my area and I was sized wrong, told certain brands were high quality when they weren’t, would have been paying to much and just put on a bad path overall. I’m glad I stumbled upon Curated. I threw so many questions at Frankie and he welcomed and answered them all. I needed a new board, boots and bindings and I got a great deal. Got a 2024 Libtech Coldbrew with Now IPO Bindings and 32 boots for less than my local ski shops offered for Never Summer, K2, etc., packages. I can’t wait to get on the mountain! Thanks again Frankie!

I was very nervous about buying my first pair of skis as they can be quite expensive and you want to get them right, however, as soon as I found curated and was paired with Hayden all the nervousness turned into pure excitement. Hayden took the time to explain, answer questions, and pick the perfect curation for me. It made choosing skis a fun process rather than a stressful one. I highly recommend Hayden and I can't wait to hit the slopes with my new skis!

I’ve been looking for some pretty specific skis and Michael was able to help me! As a female sometimes I don’t feel like I’m taken seriously when I’m at a ski shop (I’ve tried many) and mike made it so easy! He answered my questions, was able to price match Evo, and was so approachable! Honestly thankful for people like him in the ski industry. Thank you!!
