Salomon N Qst 94 2026

Salomon QST 94 2026 All‑Mountain / Freeride Skis The QST 94 is built to combine freeride versatility with strong all‑mountain performance. With a 94 mm waist and generously shaped tip and tail, these skis bridge the gap between on‑piste precision and off‑piste float. The full poplar wood core keeps them lively and stable underfoot, while basalt and fiberglass laminates add torsional stiffness, edge grip, and smooth rebound across terrain types.

Key Features:

Waist Width:

94 mm — a mid‑fat width that offers stability in softer or mixed snow while remaining nimble enough for carving and variable terrain.

Core:

Full Poplar Woodcore — delivers lively flex, good ski‑to‑snow contact, and consistent rebound while helping dampen vibrations. Lamination & Reinforcement: Basalt & Fiberglass fibers running tip to tail — enhance edge hold, torsional control, and overall stability without sacrificing responsiveness Rocker / Profile: Freeride Rocker (rocker tip, camber underfoot, rocker tail) — makes turn initiation easier, enhances float in softer snow, and keeps the ski playful yet controlled across conditions. Sidecut & Dimensions (for 172 cm): 133‑94‑119 mm, with a turning radius of ~15.5 m — a balanced geometry that allows both medium‑radius carving and playful turns in variable snow.

Construction:

Full Sandwich Sidewalls with Cork Damplifier inserts in tip and tail — adds vibration dampening, smooth ride quality in chop or crud, and robust edge‑to‑edge power transfer. Terrain Suitability: All‑mountain / Freeride — handling groomers, mixed snow, chopped terrain, light powder, and side‑country stashes with ease. Performance & Feel: The QST 94 is a “do‑it‑all” ski: on groomers and hard snow it holds an edge confidently and carves smoothly thanks to its camber underfoot and robust construction. Switch to soft snow, chopped-up terrain, or light powder and the rocker profile plus 94 mm waist provide enough float and versatility to stay playful and forgiving. The wood core and basalt/fiberglass build combine to keep ski feel lively yet stable — the ski remains responsive underfoot and damp enough at speed or on variable snow. For skiers who want one pair to cover a wide range of conditions, the QST 94 offers a great balance of performance, versatility, and fun.

Ideal For:

Intermediate to advanced skiers who want a single ski capable of carving groomers, exploring mixed terrain, playing through chopped snow or crud, and handling occasional powder stashes. Perfect as a quiver‑ski — for resort days when snow and terrain change often and you want reliability without switching gear. Also great for those who look for a balance between freeride flexibility and on‑piste precision.

Things to Consider:

Despite its versatility, QST 94 is not a dedicated deep‑powder ski — in very deep, unconsolidated snow, wider, more powder‑focused skis will float better. Likewise, while the ski offers a flexible, forgiving ride, those seeking aggressive race‑style carving or ultra‑stiff performance may find it less precise compared to dedicated carving skis. Bindings are not included — choose bindings with a brake width compatible with ~94 mm waist for proper setup and performance.
