2026 Salomon QST X Skis
The 2026 Salomon S/Lab QST X is the pinnacle of creative freeride design—a big-mountain freestyle ski with purpose-built driftiness and unmistakable energy. With a bold shape, lightweight construction, and responsive flex profile, this ski is designed to let you go fast, go big, and bring your own line to life.
Why we like it:
It feels purpose-built for skiers who don’t just ride the mountain—they reinterpret it. Quick, slashy, and light on its feet, the QST X rewards skiers who push the envelope.
Who it's for:
Aggressive freeride skiers who want a wide platform that’s just as comfortable boosting cliffs and deep pillow lines as it is flowing through mixed terrain at speed. Think directional chargers with a creative streak.
Highlights:
At 116 mm underfoot, the QST X combines float and smear-ability with true straight-line stability and pop. A karuba and poplar core keeps things light yet sturdy, while the use of flax and carbon reinforcements delivers stability without sacrificing feel. Double sidewalls and 100% recycled ABS sidewall material reinforce durability, and the overall construction reflects Salomon’s continued evolution toward sustainability and precision. With a long turn radius, it’s stable at speed yet still responsive in the air or on edge.
Things to consider:
With its directional freeride shape and stiff flex, this ski rewards confident, technically strong skiers. Those seeking something sturdier and turny—especially in tight trees or variable snow—might prefer a stiffer or more dramatic sidecut option.
Fit & sizing considerations:
Skis true to size. For maximum float and stability, size up if between sizes. More playful or lighter skiers may consider sizing down one length for quicker handling.
