Harnessing know-how from years of building some of the world’s most versatile skis, Salomon tasked its athletes from around the globe to deliver a new level of drift, power and finesse for the deepest and steepest of days. The result: the all-new QST X. With Cork Damplifier inserts in the tip and the tail, a lightweight karuba and poplar wood core, flax and carbon super light fibres, and an all-new freeride profile with more rocker, the QST X is the final piece of Salomon’s QST Laboratory puzzle alongside the QST Blank and QST Echo, and serves as your ideal powder partner.
