Salomon QST Echo 106 Ski - 2025

Why We Like The Salomon QST Echo 106 Ski

When we are looking for the control, precision, and fun of a QST, but in the backcountry, we click into the Salomon QST Echo 106 Ski. This ski takes the versatile feel of a QST and packs it full of lightweight materials that help us thrive away from the resort. The Karuba core keeps our legs fresh on the skin track, while cork in the tip and tail absorb vibrations as we rip through refrozen zipper crust at the end of the day.
