About this product

The Salomon QST X 116 is a freeride ski built for advanced to expert riders tackling off-piste and backcountry terrain in mixed and powder snow conditions. Its full woodcore blends poplar and karuba, a combination chosen for its lightweight character and inertia, while C/FX carbon reinforcement adds power and maneuverability. Double sidewalls and a Cork Damplifier work together to maintain stability at speed on the descent. A 116 mm waist width, paired with extended rocker in both the tip and tail, gives the ski the profile needed to float through deep powder and handle varied turn shapes. Available in lengths of 178, 184, and 192 cm, with turning radii ranging from 24 m to 26 m respectively, the ski scales well across different rider sizes and snow conditions. The sandwich construction uses 30 percent recycled ABS sidewalls, and the ski is manufactured in Austria. Bindings are not included. Packed weight starts at 3.66 kg for the 178 cm length.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Salomon QST X 116 as an exceptional deep-snow specialist, highlighting its impressive float, surfy and smeary character, and surprising agility for a 116mm ski. Its lightweight construction (around 1900g per ski) earns frequent praise for making it viable for backcountry touring, while the cork and flax damping system is credited for keeping chatter manageable in choppy conditions. Many users love how easily it pivots and slashes through trees, pillows, and tight terrain. The most common criticism is its limited versatility outside of soft snow: on groomers, firm snow, or heavy chop, it struggles with edge grip and stability, and some skiers find it too soft or "lifeless" when conditions are not ideal. A few reviewers also note it requires intentional technique and a forward mount point to truly come alive.
