A consistent staff and customer favorite, the Salomon QST Blank is back. With so many skis on the market, especially in the “freeride” arena, it is easy to drown in the minutiae. Too many skiers pop blood vessels in their temples debating several grams or, especially, a few millimeters underfoot. That's why, unlike other QST skis, the Blank moniker says nothing of its waist width. If you must know, that number is 112. But the point is this: The athlete-designed QST Blank serves up an effortless blend of playful and powerful performance. Salomon's double sidewall tech, which features high-density ABS underfoot plus full-length sidewalls, dampens your ride and provides excellent grip on hard snow. This alone can make the difference between feeling sketched out on sketchy terrain and sending it. C/FX fiber combined with cork damplifier in the tips and tails reduce vibrations and make for a nimble, playful, and slashy ride. The QST Blank is the rare type of ski that charges the steep chute just as well as it slashes the powdery wind drift at the bottom. With Salomon pros like Cody Townsend and Drew Peterson skiing the Blanks as their daily driver, these skis are likely to be instant classics. Consider them Powder7 tested and approved...and check out those bases! Similar skis: Dynastar M-Free 118, K2 Mindbender 116 C, Black Crows Anima.
