Salomon QST Blank 2024 Review

https://youtu.be/Gi0HZXypSno
If the QST 106 was among the best skis of the test for pointing it, the Salomon QST Blank takes the number one spot. This ski is a monster in crud and crushed it in the pow. They feel very powerful in cruddy, mixed snow but pull off a neat trick of feeling pretty playful in soft snow. They aren't overly heavy for the size, they might even make a good touring ski but fell narrowly short of their smaller stablemate, the QST 106, on user-friendliness.

"Light weight, nice swing weight, carves well and links turns together nicely. Solid tails and nice early rise tips floated super well." - Bailey Lahure

"Really floaty and fun ski, turned well and held an edge well. Aggressive ski and charges through crud, definitely not for the faint-hearted though." - Lisa Cormier

We tasked our athletes with designing the most progressive and playful freeride powder ski on the mountain: meet the QST BLANK. Pillow-popping and powder-loving, the BLANK is built for deep days at 112mm underfoot. A progressive shape enhances the flotation and playfulness of your turns, while its construction provides the stability you rely on. Charge resort laps, or mount the BLANK with the SHIFT for touring.
