2026 Salomon QST 106 Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings

The 2027 Salomon QST 106 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings keeps the same name but brings refined updates that give this legendary freeride ski a new level of top-end performance. With tweaks to the construction, shape, and rocker profile, the latest QST 106 is more stable, more responsive, and still just as fun as ever. We paired the QST 106 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

The QST 106 has long been a favorite for playful freeriders, and the 2027 version builds on that legacy with improved stability and energy. It still floats, smears, and pivots like a dream—but now it holds an edge more confidently and finishes turns with a bit more authority. That’s a win in our book.

Who it's for:

Perfect for advanced and expert skiers who want a do-it-all freeride ski that feels powerful and composed when pushed but remains intuitive and responsive in tighter terrain. Whether you’re arcing groomers, diving into powder, or hitting pillow lines, the QST 106 adapts effortlessly.

Highlights:

A full-length poplar wood core offers a lively platform, while basalt fibers and a reworked Cork Damplifier system soak up vibrations and add a smoother ride feel without relying on metal. The updated tail design brings more stiffness for better support through the end of the turn, and minor tweaks to the ski’s geometry give it more control and confidence at speed. The result? A freeride ski that’s more capable than ever while maintaining the playful, surfy character skiers have always loved. 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. NX FR Heel pieces have 16 mm of elastic travel which assists in prevent false-releases. These heel pieces also make stepping into and out of bindings with ease, even in deep snow.

Things to consider:

Compared to the 2027 model, the new QST 106 is slightly stiffer and more demanding—especially in the tails. While it still feels intuitive, it now rewards confident technique with a stronger top-end performance ceiling.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. Choose your standard freeride length for a balance of float and control. If you’re between sizes, size up for extra stability or down for increased maneuverability in tight terrain.
