Salomon QST Blank

I recently demoed the Salomon QST Blank 112 and I have fallen in love. This has been one of my favourite powder skis. It had some excellent floatation and it had done quite well 80cm+ powder.
This ski demoed was a Salomon QST Blank (112MM) in a 178cm. 137/112/126 - Tip/waist/tail, 16m turn radius, Tip rocker - 28%, Tail rocker - 25%.

Been on the 106 version of this ski since last season. Have the longest length,(heavy Dude) . The thing that Is the greatest about this ski -is the wonderful combo of being quick turning but also Very stable while doing big turns as well. Note ,Am what these days you call a directional skier-I mounted the Bindings a few CM behind the reference line,( think 3CM)-for even better Powder skiing. Like many Powder skies ,My 106's rock the Groomers as well. JC

What a great ski, at 55 years old I'm looking for a ski that works with me not against me in the powder and then allows me to have fun in the late day crud which is exactly what this ski does. Easy turn initiation both in the powder all the way through hard pack. Yes, its a well known fact this is not a groomed run carving ski but it will get down with ease and control, it can even handle moderate speed. I have skied it in everything from 2- 15 inches and spring corn and slush but this ski is happiest in deep pow.

If I could afford another ski this would be it

Yeah great but there is no way that a 112 “carves on hard pack” as you claim. Even the manufacturer wouldn’t say that. Come on. A review is different from an ad.

Sorry for any confusion, I was trying to say for a 112 or a powder orientated ski it carves well. This is 100% not a carving ski nor was I trying to give the impression it was (sorry if it came off that way.) Though you would be pretty surprised at how well it did though on the hard pack. As well, my definition of hard pack might be different than yours, I’m skiing on the west coast and what I consider hard pack might not be what you do. Again sorry for any confusion.
