This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

Powder7 Staff Pick George
By: George
Being one of the fan favorites of the QST lineup, the 2023 model of the QST 106 is one burly, maneuverable, stomping mid-width freestyle ski. Those of you who are looking for a one quiver ski that can do it all (mostly), the 106 would be a great option. The QST lineup have notoriously struggled with carving due to its big turning radius and tendency to chatter at speed while on groomers. If you are an off piste skier and that is all you like, that is what the QST was made for.

Powder7 Staff Pick Lydia

If I had one word (ok, a few words), to describe the new QST 106's, they'd be intuitive, reliable, and a great balance of playful and powerful. This ski has the capability to pivot easily in trees and bumps, while still remaining stable enough to rip over chopped up, cruddy snow towards the end of the day. I am convinced that with those colorful bases, the skis want you to spend time in the air (to show them off, of course), and have a great landing platform. I'd recommend sizing up a bit with them, as they have a solid dose of rocker (I'm 5'7",140 lbs and liked skiing them better in the 173cm size). Overall, the new QST has something for everyone, and really nails the balance of being playful, but still damp and carvable.

Powder7 Staff Pick Matt

Man, the QST gets cooler every year. Not that I have any credibility in judging coolness. Every pair of pants I own is the same color, and I've been reliving my high school punk rock music days in lieu of actually finding new Spotify lists. However, what I can tell you about coolness is that it looks a lot like a mid-fat ski that slashes pow alleys, stomps landings, and does everything well no matter what type of skiing you're into. If my cool-radar is good for anything, it's to tell you the QST 106 is better than ever, and it's one of my absolute favorite skis of the year.

Our Take On The 2025 Salomon QST 106:

Over the years, the Salomon QST 106 has consistently been a shop favorite as a versatile, soft snow-oriented ski, that can easily handle deep powder and all the stuff in between. The Salomon QST 106 features deep rocker lines and heavily tapered tips and tails, this ski feels playful and easy to maneuver in tight places, powder, and steep lines. Salomon's C/FX construction, a blend of carbon and flax to help increase downhill performance, ensures you can rail down your line despite a very playful shape. Cork damplifiers stick around to dampen the tips, preventing chatter and weird vibrations. To top it all off, double sidewall technology enhances edge hold and acts as suspension to absorb all the inconsistencies in snow to smooth out the ride. The result? The Salomon QST 106 stays smooth through powder, soft chop, icy patches, and weird wind buff without a flinch. All while being light enough to take on a long tour or hike up a big line. For skiers who are looking to strike a balance with playfulness and support in tricky snow conditions (or when you feel like pressing that gas pedal), or even more casual skiers looking for a fun ski in soft snow, the QST 106 should be at the top of your list.

The Salomon QST 106 is unchanged from last season, just a new paint job.
