About this product
The Salomon QST X for 2026 is a freeride and powder ski built around a 116mm waist that provides reliable float in deep snow while remaining composed on firmer, variable terrain. Available in three lengths (178, 184, and 192 cm), it features a rocker/camber/rocker profile and a twin-tip shape that encourages playful, surfy turns and freestyle expression on big-mountain lines. The core combines karuba and poplar wood to balance low weight with structural integrity, and flax carbon superlight fibers contribute stiffness without adding bulk. Cork damplifiers in the tips and tails absorb vibration and reduce chatter at speed, while ABS Double Sidewall construction underfoot sharpens edge hold on hardpack and tracked-out snow. Sandwich construction throughout adds durability and precise response. Turn radius ranges from 24 m at 178 cm to 26 m at 192 cm, supporting high-speed stability across open terrain. The ski comes in a Black, Shocking Pink, and Lunar Rock colorway and carries a limited two-year manufacturer warranty.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Salomon QST X as an exceptional powder ski, highlighting its remarkable float, nimbleness, and surfy feel in deep snow. Its 116mm waist, pronounced tip-and-tail rocker, and lightweight build (1900g in 184cm) earn high marks for agility in pillows, trees, and technical backcountry terrain. The cork damplifier is credited for keeping the ride surprisingly damp and stable despite the playful character. The most common criticism is its narrow use case: reviewers agree it is a poor choice for hard snow, groomers, or high-speed inbounds charging, and is best suited to advanced and expert skiers who spend most of their time hunting deep powder.
