Who would love these

The Salomon QST 98 Skis are ideal for intermediate to expert skiers who crave versatility and adventure. They're a great daily driver for all terrains and conditions. These skis are designed for those who want to push their limits and explore the mountain in all its glory.

Why I recommend these

Versatile all-mountain and all conditions
Lightweight yet stable
Handles technical terrain with ease

Expert verdict

The Salomon QST 98 Skis are a fantastic choice for those who love versatility on the slopes. With a 98mm waist, these skis are perfect for tackling everything from groomers to powder. The C/FX Carbon-Flax fiber and Cork Damplifier tips and tails make them lightweight yet stable, ensuring smooth rides even on challenging terrains. I love how they handle tight trees and rock-infested steeps with ease, and they're even a great hybrid backcountry option. However, they might not be the best for those who prefer strictly groomed runs. Overall, if you're looking for a playful yet powerful all-mountain ski, the QST 98 is a top contender for a true one-ski quiver.

The QST is a really solid intermediate ski that does a bit of everything! They are quick in the turn and hold their edge well, which allows the rider to focus on improving their agility and their carving. They are a perfect option for a skier who is looking to take their riding to the next level with the ultimate... Read more

Bryant Leech tested this product
This ski is one that will work well for a large range of skiers. It fits a nice sweet spot of being both fairly strong and maintaining a trim weight. This would be an excellent ski to think about as a 50/50 do-everything kinda ski with something like a Salomon shift. This ski trends towards soft snow performance in the... Read more
Ideal for
  • Has a good amount of stability for the weight
  • Great for soft snow
  • Really well rounded for most conditions
Not ideal for
  • There are better skis for speed
  • Can get knocked around a bit in choppier snow
  • Can be tough if encountering ice often

Good ski for a season

Originally posted at www.salomon.com on Feb 19, 2024
Very Gould looking high performance ski, however it built to last maybe one season. Half way trough this season with about 6 days of ski all edges chipped , may not effect the performance but already look older than my old skis after 10 years

Faster than I expected!

Originally posted at www.salomon.com on Feb 5, 2024
I purchased the Solomon QST 98 183 last month through Solomon.com. I was a little nervous purchasing online without seeing them but I have no regrets. They are the best skis that I have ever owned for resort skiing. I've had to tell myself to slow down several times. Amazing control under high speeds and superb carving abilities. I'm so happy that I purchased these. I also purchased the Salomon Warden MNC 13 ski bindings to go with. Am combo.

Dylan is the man!
5 /5
Only having skateboarding experience, I was weary to buy my first snowboard. Finding Dylan was a huge help as he answered all the questions I had. With his help, I was able to find what size board & profile was right for me. Also, with the additional information during our conversation, I now what what to consider when buying future boards, bindings, and boots. Thank you again Dylan!

I stumbled upon curated while researching what kind of skis to buy via youtube videos - and im SO glad I ended up where I did. Allie guided me through my first adult ski and binding purchase. She answered all my questions, and more. Allie made me feel very comfortable and sure that the purchase I was making was the right one for me. Allie was so kind that I hope to run into her one day on the slopes with the new gear she helped me choose :)

5 /5
Ryan was the absolute best in helping me find my first set of gear as a somewhat beginner snowboarder. I started snowboarding a few years ago and fell in love with it. Eventually renting gear all the time caught up to me and I haven’t hopped on a board in almost 2 years. As I’m trying to get back into it and avoid this problem going forward, Ryan truly made the overwhelming experience of buying a board, boots, bindings, helmets and goggles a freakin breeze. He will help you budget while also finding you the best quality gear. Ryan even took the time to make me a personal video explaining why he chose certain gear for me while also giving multiple options. Anyone and everyone who doesn’t know the ins and outs of this stuff should have someone like Ryan to make the process easier. Thanks again Ryan 🤘🏼

Getting into boarding after skiing most of my life. I have weird skeleton proportions so I got all the answers I needed for which board, bindings, and boots to choose. Great conversation and besides for this site being dope, Tyler seems like someone I'd hit the mountain with any day. Good stuff, great guy, good vibes!

Making a large purchase on a piece of equipment is fraught for a non-expert; Luke took the fear out of the decision, provided a number of recommendations across different price points, and really listened to what I was looking for! This service is excellent, and I deeply appreciate Luke's expertise and recommendations in making this decision!

I have changed my boarding style, and a few years ago i bought a board that does not match my style or weight. I explained everything to Ryan and what I wanted to look to do. He listened and gave great advice and explained his DIRECT experience with some of the products, why he liked them, and why he liked them for me. I felt like he steered me in the direction he thought best for me, not just the highest commission, which ultimately made me hit the add to cart button.
