2026 Salomon QST Spark Skis W/ M10 GW Bindings

The Salomon QST Spark is a twin tip freestyle ski for skiers who want one pair that's equally at home in the terrain park and on the rest of the mountain. A full poplar wood core, stepdown sidewalls, and a twin rocker profile give it a lively, forgiving feel with plenty of pop. It's an easy, playful ski that spins and slides through the park, then carves and slashes its way back down the groomers.

Why we like it:

The poplar core gives the QST Spark a springy, energetic flex that makes ollies and small jumps feel effortless. We also like that the twin tip shape makes riding switch and landing backward feel natural for skiers just getting into freestyle.

Who it's for:

Intermediate and advanced skiers who split their days between the terrain park and the rest of the resort. It's a great choice for progressing freestyle skiers and younger, lighter adults looking for a fun, versatile twin tip.

Highlights:

A full-length poplar woodcore anchors the QST Spark, delivering stability, rebound, and a smooth, damp feel on the snow. Stepdown sidewalls add durability and edge grip where it matters most, while the twin rocker profile lifts the tip and tail for easy pivots, presses, and switch landings. An 85mm waist gives it enough surface area to handle a few inches of fresh snow without slowing it down on groomers, and a short radius keeps turns quick and snappy. The partial twin tail balances freestyle playfulness with enough support for confident carving.

Things to consider:

The QST Spark is built for fun and versatility rather than all-out speed, so aggressive skiers looking for a damp, high-speed charger will find it a bit lively. Deep powder days are also not its strength; a wider QST model will float better in big storms.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The QST Spark sizes true to length. Park-focused skiers can drop a length for quicker spins and easier presses, while those spending more time on groomers can bump up a length for more stability.
