The Salomon QST Echo 106 is the wide touring version of the iconic QST line. It combines a Karuba/poplar core, super-light basalt fibres and Cork Damplifier - the result is an agile, lightweight touring ski for all touring skiers with a focus on powder enjoyment.

Ultralight core & lightweight construction
A featherweight Karuba/poplar core combined with basalt fibres and Cork Damplifier in the tip and tail results in a lightweight core that shines on the ascent.

Confidence inspiring feel
Cork Damplifier in tip and tail combined with basalt fibres provide stability at high speed, while the Karuba/poplar core offers a lively and responsive ride.

Technology

CORE: Solid wood core Karuba / Poplar
The wood core is a mixture of poplar and Karuba. Karuba provides lightness and resilience.

REINFORCEMENT: Super light basalt fibres

SPECIFIC FEATURES: Double sidewalls

CONSTRUCTION: Full-length sandwich side walls
Full-length sandwich sidewalls provide stability and precision. This construction improves performance through good edge grip and smooth contact with the snow.

REINFORCEMENT: Ti binding reinforcement
An edge-to-edge Titanal insert under the binding for maximum power and better edge grip on hard snow.

SPECIFIC FEATURES: Cork Damplifier
The absorption properties of cork are three times higher than those of Koroyd. By using cork in the tip of the ski, a high level of vibration absorption and damping is achieved with even less weight.

PROFILE: Freeride profile
