About this product

The Salomon QST X 116 is a freeride ski built for 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 contribute to downhill stability at speed. A 116 mm waist width, paired with rocker in both the tip and tail, promotes float in deep snow and nimble handling through varied turns. The sandwich construction is made in Austria and available in three lengths (178, 184, and 192 cm), with turn radii ranging from 24 to 26 meters depending on length. Packed weight starts at 3.66 kg for the 178 cm and reaches 3.98 kg for the 192 cm. Sidewalls incorporate 30 percent recycled ABS material. Bindings are not included. This ski is rated for advanced to expert riders seeking a capable, versatile tool in the backcountry and on freeride terrain.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Salomon QST X 116 as an exceptional deep-snow powder ski, highlighting its surprising nimbleness and playfulness for its width, effortless float, and surfy, slashy feel in pillows, trees, and steep terrain. The cork damplifier construction earns repeated credit for keeping the ride damp and composed even in chopped snow. Its light weight (around 1,900g per ski) also makes it a capable touring companion. The most common criticism is that it is a highly specialized, one-dimensional ski: on-piste performance is minimal, it struggles in firm or variable conditions compared to narrower alternatives, and it does not ski well switch. Reviewers agree it is best suited to advanced and expert skiers who get regular powder days.
