QST 106 Ski blends playful float, stability, and smooth control for freeride versatility
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“After testing the QST 106 in everything from deep powder days to sketchy, variable snow, I can confidently say these skis live up to the hype. They’re playful, surfy, and light enough to tour with, but still feel super stable when charging hard. The poplar woodcore and basalt-fiberglass laminate give it that perfect balance between liveliness and dampness, and the cork damplifier in the tips keeps things smooth when the snow gets choppy.”
Who It’s For
Advanced Freeride Skiers Seeking Versatility:
The QST 106 is for riders who want a one-ski quiver for powder, big lines, and mixed conditions. Best suited for confident skiers who chase fresh snow but still need stability on tracked-out terrain or firm sections.
What It’s For
Powder Play and All-Mountain Freeride:
With a 106mm waist and rocker/camber/rocker profile, the QST 106 thrives in deep snow while staying versatile enough for variable conditions. From tree runs to open bowls, it offers a balanced ride that pivots easily, floats smoothly, and holds confidently on edge.
Why We Like It
Surfy, Stable, and Smooth in Any Condition:
We like the QST 106 because it delivers that rare mix of float and stability. The poplar core and basalt-fiberglass laminates keep it energetic yet damp, while the cork damplifier smooths out choppy snow. It’s a ski that makes powder playful and rough conditions fun.

Great every day ski if you go all mountain
Such a fun ski for a daily driver when you need to be ready for anything. Well balanced, great float and surprising edge hold for a wider stick.

The Ultimate Playful All-Mountain Ski
This ski strikes an incredible balance of fun and performance. Its playful nature makes it super fun to ride in all conditions, while the design is confidence-inspiring for intermediate to advanced skiers looking to push their limits. The increased tail rocker adds versatility, making turn exits effortless and adding a touch of forgiveness. Despite its playful character, it still holds its own as a true all-mountain directional twin, offering stability and precision when carving or charging down more technical terrain.
