The Salomon QST 118 Skis are a hero's tool for hero days and more. Absolutely the right pick for hip deep days and the biggest, gnarliest mountains in the land, the QST 118 also does a great job of driving through mank and chop and isn't half bad on the groomed. The secret lies in the balance of surface area/rocker profile and the sweet blend of dampening agents that mixes carbon, flax and Titanal. Take this one for a test drive on a deep day and you'll become a believer.
Twin Rocker 26% Tip Rocker / 52% Camber / 22% Tail Rocker
Light Poplar Full Woodcore A woodcore from tip to tail offers optimum stability on snow and powerful rebound. Maximizes ski-to-snow contact and filters vibrations.
C/FX Carbon Flax Weave A new weaving with transversal and longitudinal fibers and increased amounts of both carbon and flax, plus basalt fiber. Yields increased torsional stiffness, stronger edge grip and stability.
Single Ti A single layer of Titanal reinforcement on top of the core for great edge grip, efficient energy transfer and liveliness.
Cork Damplifier Cork is three times more absorbing than Koroyd. Using it in the tip of the ski enables a high level of vibration absorption and dampening with even less weight.
Pulse Pad A layer of rubber that runs along the edges and in ski's critical zones for a smoother ride and improved ski-to-snow contact.
Full Sandwich Sidewalls A laminate construction with full length ABS sidewalls gives extraordinary smooth ski/snow contact and great terrain adaptation. Laminated construction enables Salomon to combine optimum material layers for targeted performance.
Sintered Graphite Base
Total Edge Reinforcement A fiber reinforcement directly on top of the edges improves durability, edge grip and shock resistance.
TPU Glossy Topsheet
Tail Protector
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
