Like you, Salomon's QST 106 Ski craves those deep powdery mornings, yet it can still handle its own when you're forced to ride on-piste because everything's tracked out. Given its 106mm waist width, the middle offering in the QST line, this ski undoubtedly hovers over the sweet soft stuff with ease, and the Twin Rocker profile blends tip and tail rocker with camber underfoot for enhanced performance down untracked powder, quick pivoting turns, and superior edge hold on the firm stuff. Toss in a solid medium length turn radius and you have a pair of sticks that thrive all over the mountain at high speeds. Salomon started construction of the QST with a full length poplar core that provides a damp and consistent feel from tip to tail. Carbon stiffens the ski up without weighing it down, while a Titanal insert increases the ski's edge-to-edge speed and responsiveness. As a major change this ski now features cork in the tip and tail to dramatically decrease chatter at high speeds and add a little stability compared to previous year models. This beefed up construction with a classic shape will have you enjoying all of your days spent on the hill.
