QST Blank Team Ski + L6 GW Binding - 2025 - Kids'

The rocker profile features raised tips and tails, which enhances floatation in powder and makes turning easier. In contrast, camber has a slight upward curve underfoot when the ski is resting flat, providing better edge control and power transfer during turns. A combination of both rocker and camber allows for improved performance across various snow conditions.

A poplar core is lightweight yet strong, offering a great balance of stability and responsiveness. This material gives skiers a lively feel underfoot, which is essential for making quick turns and jumps, enhancing overall performance on the slopes.

A sintered base is made from densely packed particles, making it durable and capable of absorbing wax effectively. This results in faster gliding on snow, which is crucial for performance skiing. The durability also means less frequent repairs, allowing you to enjoy your skis longer.

Turn radius indicates how tightly a ski can turn. A smaller turn radius (e.g., 9m) allows for sharper, quicker turns, making it ideal for slalom or tight trails. Conversely, a larger turn radius (e.g., 13m) is better for wider, sweeping turns, suitable for open slopes. Understanding this helps you choose skis that match your skiing style and terrain preferences.

The L6 GW binding is designed for optimal performance and safety, connecting your ski boots to the skis securely. The "GW" feature, or GripWalk, allows for easier walking in ski boots, enhancing comfort when you're off the slopes. Choosing the right binding is crucial for maximizing your skiing experience and ensuring safety.

The combination of rocker and camber profiles allows skiers to enjoy the benefits of both designs. The rocker helps with floatation and ease of turning, especially in powder, while the camber provides stability and edge control on hard-packed snow. This synergy enhances overall performance, making it easier to adapt to different snow conditions and skiing styles.
