With a revamped shape, profile, and construction, this ski brings new levels of versatility, edge grip, and powder surfiness—all while staying intuitive and easy to ski. If you’re chasing a freeride feel with all-mountain range, the QST 100 hits the sweet spot. We paired the ski with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use.  Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s hard not to love a ski with this much range. Whether you’re carving corduroy, wiggling through trees, chasing soft snow stashes, or hot lapping the park, the QST 100 responds with energy and precision.

It’s especially good for skiers who venture off-trail into bumps, glades, or bowls but still want something that holds its edge on the way back to the lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA nearly full-length poplar wood core forms the lively backbone of the QST 100, while Cork Damplifier inserts in the tip and tail absorb vibrations to enhance stability without adding unnecessary weight. Basalt fibers run throughout the ski to deliver a smooth, powerful ride that rivals metal-laminate skis—but at a fraction of the heft. An updated rocker profile and more refined shape improve both soft snow float and firm snow carving, rounding out a ski that’s playful, precise, and impressively versatile. At the core is the three-part heel, which delivers the secure boot retention the Strive line is known for while keeping weight reasonable. Salomon's elastic travel keeps the binding planted through chatter and cut-up snow, so it does not get knocked offline easily. The LDN toe spreads lateral input across an extra-wide pedal for crisp edge-to-edge power transfer, and a sliding toe pedal lets the ski bend underfoot for a more natural flex. The whole assembly rides on a low-profile chassis that drops the stance and centers the skier over the ski. It accepts both standard alpine and GripWalk boot soles, and the binding is TUV certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the QST 100 is impressively capable, its weight might be a concern for those building a dedicated touring setup.

The Attack 14 GW’s FR PRO3 Toe contains 30 mm of elastic travel which provides a smooth and confidence inspiring feel when tracking though variable snow while also recentering the boot to its neutral position extremely well to keep you locked in, acting almost like a suspension system.
