Salomon can’t guarantee that the QST 98 will make you ski like a pro, but they dang sure bet that you’ll love the innovative freeride shape that keeps this ski winning awards year after year (such as the 2023 Skieur "Tester's Choice"). The 98’s full sandwich double sidewalls and cork damplifier create stability in the park and pow, while Salomon also lowered the widest points and lengthened the rocker of the ski in order to bring playfulness and reliability to all types of turns. Don't forget the power! Well, let's leave that to the C/FX carbon backbone and double sidewalls, which create a powerful ski with strong edge hold.

Come on...we never forget to talk about powder, er, POWER.
