Salomon's QST 118 Ski has a quest for powder, and no ice, crud, or variable snow can stand its way. It might be the widest QST in Salomon's freeride collection at 118mm underfoot, but the Twin Rocker profile enhances variability when you have to work to find those soft stashes of snow. There's plenty of rocker in the tip and tail to provide a surfy feel whenever you find powder, but Salomon added a secret helping of camber underfoot to help you edge through groomers and firmer snow while you search for softer snow. When you are really letting loose on some steep backcountry terrain the long turning radius provides bomber stability, while the tip and tail rocker steps in again to let you pivot turns in tight situations. The lightweight poplar wood core is damp for charging hard yet lightweight for long days in the backcountry searching for powder. 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 underfoot increases the ski's edge-to-edge power and responsiveness. The QST 118's biggest update is the tip now features a cork layer 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 deep snow days all winter.   read more
