Ask Curated a question about this product:
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.

With 112mm under foot and 17 meter turn radius this is a fast turning ski...for a powder ski. It also does sufficiently well on hard pack and groomers for this class of ski due to the second layer of ABS underfoot and moderate rocker profile. I'd also like to give a special thanks to Salomon's signature C/FX blend and... Read more
Ideal for
- Great all mountain ski for those that prefer powder skiing.
- Perfect intro powder ski.
- One ski quiver winner.
Not ideal for
- Lacks metal for big aggressive descents.
- A bit wide for hard pack moguls
- Jack of all trades, Master of none (But is that a con? )

Seth Rabatin tested this product
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.... Read more
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

- Takes some effort to get up on edge at slower speeds

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

Great service
Posted on Dec 27, 2023First of all, having a go to representative is amazing and fun! I deal with these skis last year, and found them to be amazingly versatile, given their width. No doubt, best suited for powder days, but they will not disappoint you on the groomers as well!

Man I love this ski
Originally posted at www.salomon.com on May 31, 2023I 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!

I was looking to purchase a new setup (snowboard, boots, bindings, and googles) for the upcoming season. Everything I have is very worn out. The last time I purchased a new setup was ten years ago, and I did not know where to start. So, I went through the "find your snowboard" quiz and was matched with Mike. From there we were able to really dial in my setup. I can't wait to try it out! Thank you Mike!

I'm getting back into snowboarding after a lonnngg hiatus and Leif knew exactly what I needed for both my skill level and the exact mountain I will be spending time at this winter. I had a pretty small budget considering the cost of gear and he found me a board and bindings way under budget. I was thrilled. I was also delighted that I got a personalized video describing my options. Highly recommended!

Ryan was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I can in knowing nothing about snowboards and I gave him a weird task of trying to find a board that would work for both me and my brother at different weights. I appreciate how happy he was to help and how he kept checking in on me wanting to help.

Jay is Awesome!
5 /5
Jay is very knowledgeable when it comes to snowboards. If you really want to dive into the differences between the materials, and engineering behind snowboards Jay is the guy to get into these conversations with. I’ve been riding for 25 plus years, and at this point in my life, I really appreciate Jay being there to just talk about the different nuances of snowboarding. I feel he was really able to understand the type of riding I like to do, and where i want to take my riding, and made excellent gear recommendations.

Josh helped me buy my second real snowboard. I was upgrading from a board I purchased on craigslist and rode for several seasons, and Josh was very patient and helpful talking through riding styles and making recommendations. After we narrowed it down to a few options, he even made a video talking through pros/cons of each of the boards - all around an incredibly helpful dude!

Casey is super knowledgeable and speaks from experience. She helped me make the be decision for my purchase and I couldn’t be more excited to head into the season with my new board. Her recommendations were all awesome and she helped me find the best set up that fit into my (small) budget. She was kind and a pleasure to work with.

I was looking for a new snowboard. I knew I wanted to get something that excelled in powder but I wasn't sure which board to get. Taylor helped me narrow my selection down to a few options and I ultimately went with his top recommendation. It's really helpful to get a second opinion. Thanks for the help, Taylor!
