Why We Like The Salomon QST 98 Ski
QST is now synonymous with resort control and freedom and the Salomon QST 98 Ski goes a long way in perpetuating this representation. The narrower 98mm waist on this ski offers impressive edge control in-between storms when the resort is running firm. To further handle these conditions, these sticks boast a stiff carbon laminate for stability at speed and cork inserts that prevent the rockered tip and tail from chattering at high speeds.

Great skis!
Like many others have said, these skis are a master of none, jack of all trades type deal. While I do feel they excel in soft snow, (anywhere up to abt 6 inches), they really can do everything. Stiff enough to hold an edge on a fresh groomer, but the shape allows for you to dive into the trees and utilize the amazing agility of this ski. Would recommend to anyone looking for a solid daily driver in a place that gets a fair amount of snow.

Purple, why?
I was all set on this ski but that color.....hurts my eyes. Great ski otherwise. Make this a "Special Edition" and bring back the previous top sheet.
