{"product_id":"2025-salomon-qst-x-skis-l47420800","title":"2026 Salomon QST X Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 Salomon S\/Lab QST X is the pinnacle of creative freeride design—a big-mountain freestyle ski with purpose-built driftiness and unmistakable energy. With a bold shape, lightweight construction, and responsive flex profile, this ski is designed to let you go fast, go big, and bring your own line to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt feels purpose-built for skiers who don’t just ride the mountain—they reinterpret it. Quick, slashy, and light on its feet, the QST X rewards skiers who push the envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAggressive freeride skiers who want a wide platform that’s just as comfortable boosting cliffs and deep pillow lines as it is flowing through mixed terrain at speed. Think directional chargers with a creative streak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 116 mm underfoot, the QST X combines float and smear-ability with true straight-line stability and pop. A karuba and poplar core keeps things light yet sturdy, while the use of flax and carbon reinforcements delivers stability without sacrificing feel. Double sidewalls and 100% recycled ABS sidewall material reinforce durability, and the overall construction reflects Salomon’s continued evolution toward sustainability and precision. With a long turn radius, it’s stable at speed yet still responsive in the air or on edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its directional freeride shape and stiff flex, this ski rewards confident, technically strong skiers. Those seeking something sturdier and turny—especially in tight trees or variable snow—might prefer a stiffer or more dramatic sidecut option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkis true to size. For maximum float and stability, size up if between sizes. More playful or lighter skiers may consider sizing down one length for quicker handling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salomon","offers":[{"title":"178","offer_id":48316697739560,"sku":"L47420800|178","price":849.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"184","offer_id":48316697772328,"sku":"L47420800|184","price":849.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"192","offer_id":48316697805096,"sku":"L47420800|192","price":849.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2025-salomon-qst-x-skis-l47420800-l47420800.jpg?v=1774449657","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2025-salomon-qst-x-skis-l47420800","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
