Salomon QST 98 Skis

This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

Powder7 Staff Pick Matt
By: Matt
Woo! It's great that Salomon introduced the Stance skis (which are awesome in their own right) because it allowed them to make the QST 98 more freeridey and fun. This is for sure one of the best all-around skis near 100mm underfoot, especially if you like chasing soft snow to every corner of the mountain along with crushing bumps and groomers. Different feel here than a metal ski like the Enforcer 100, for sure, but this is a ski that many, many skiers will enjoy.

Our Take On The 2025 Salomon QST 98:

With an award winner and skier favorite like the Salomon QST 98, Salomon knows this ski doesn't need a change. Regarded as one of the best skis in this class for balancing firm snow carving performance with a playful ride, the Salomon QST 98 appeals to lots of skier styles and types. The magic feature? You'll find it across the QST line: double sidewall tech. This increases dampening, power transmission, and edge grip to give the ski the feel you'd expect from a hard-charging freeride ski. Extended rocker lines at both ends combined with C/FX construction in the tips and tails ensure the ability to pivot and slash your way through technical lines while still maintaining plenty of stability for blasting through choppy runouts. With the introduction of the Stance - a line of directional, metal-laminate chargers - Salomon was able to adjust the QST 98 to be an even better freeride tool. We've long been fans of the QST line here at the shop for how balanced the skis are, and every year our testers have walked away impressed and stoked on the QST 98. Poppy, playful, and shockingly stable, the QST 98 continues to be a top pick as a versatile one-ski quiver for Western skiers for intermediates, and experts alike.
