Salomon QST 98 Skis 2025

The Salomon QST 98's are a nimble, agile, somewhat playful ski that will make tree runs and soft snow an absolute blast. The QST 98 is quick edge to edge and they're incredibly maneuverable even through the tightest terrain keeping you zipping through tree stashes or the side of the trail effortlessly. Compared to some other skis in the "all mountain" category that are around 100mm wide, the QST isn't as stable on hardpack and they don't arc mean turns on a groomer, however, the QST 98 can more than hold its own. One of our days on the QST was in Vermont and conditions were not ideal for a ski like this, but we still had a blast ripping these around on a groomer. If you're a skier that generally hunts for soft snow and fresh stashes of trees this is one of the best tools for that. On a groomer, the QST will be composed enough to keep you confident but you can tell the ski isn't built to pipe turns. This is a ski you get if you have a more playful style and prefer a highly maneuverable ski that makes technical terrain easier to ski.
