Discover the New Salomon QST 94 & QST 100 Skis

ree

Salomon’s QST series has long been a favorite among skiers who want one ski to take them from the groomers to the back bowls and everywhere in between. For the 2025/26 season, Salomon has refined two of its most versatile models—the QST 94 and the QST 100—making them livelier, smoother, and more capable than ever before.

If you’re looking for a true do-it-all ski, these two standouts should be at the top of your list.


What’s New in the QST Line?

Salomon updated the construction across the QST lineup, focusing on balance, stability, and versatility. The changes are subtle but meaningful:

  • Full Poplar Wood Core – keeps the skis energetic and lightweight.

  • Basalt & Fiberglass Laminate – adds torsional stiffness and stability without extra weight.

  • Cork Damplifier 2.0 – Salomon’s unique cork-and-TPU insert reduces vibrations, smoothing out rough conditions.

  • Refined Shape & Graphics – squared-off tails, updated rockers, and clean, modern topsheets.

The result? A smoother ride that blends precision with playfulness—no matter the terrain.


Salomon QST 94 – Nimble All-Mountain Performer

  • Dimensions (180 cm): 134–94–120 mm

  • Radius: ~16.5 m

  • Weight: ~1810 g per ski

The QST 94 is quick, responsive, and incredibly fun. With a slightly squared-off tail and minimal taper, it feels locked in when you want it to—but it’s still easy to release for quick pivots in tight trees or moguls.

On Snow Feel:

  • Groomers: Confident edge hold with a lively rebound, though a touch more forgiving than a carving-specific ski.

  • Bumps & Trees: Light, nimble, and playful—perfect for skiers who like to dart through technical terrain.

  • Powder & Soft Snow: Plenty of float for a mid-90s ski, with a surfy feel when you want to slash or smear turns.

  • Crud & Chop: Damping is solid, but it shines most when skied with a dynamic, playful style.

Who It’s For: The QST 94 is ideal for skiers who want agility and versatility in all conditions. It’s approachable, lightweight, and fun—yet still has enough performance to keep advanced skiers smiling.


Salomon QST 100 – Playful Power Meets Float

  • Dimensions (180 cm): 134–100–123 mm

  • Radius: ~17.5 m

  • Weight: ~1880 g per ski

Step up to the QST 100, and you’ll find a ski that adds width and float without losing the lively, all-mountain personality of its sibling. The QST 100 is a freeride-friendly all-rounder, blending power and play.

On Snow Feel:

  • Soft Snow & Powder: Excellent float thanks to its width and rocker profile—this ski loves fresh snow days.

  • All-Mountain: Still light on its feet, with enough edge grip to carve clean arcs on groomed runs.

  • Chop & Mixed Conditions: The cork and basalt construction absorb vibrations, making for a smooth and stable ride even when the mountain gets messy.

  • Playfulness: Balanced flex makes it easy to smear, slash, and pop off natural features.

Who It’s For: The QST 100 is a perfect one-ski quiver for skiers who split their time between groomers and off-piste terrain, but want something wide enough to handle storm days with confidence.
