Salomon QST Stella 106 Skis 2025

Our Review of the New Salomon QST Stella 106 Ski: When the Salomon QST Blank came out 2 years ago we were blown away by how well such a wide ski could feel on hard snow at high speeds and we requested a narrower version for your more typical East Coast days. Salomon delivered the QST Lumen 98 last season and for this season a completely revamped Salomon QST Stella 106. If you travel a fair amount and are always seeking out the softest of snow this is the ultimate one ski quiver. It floats in pow like a dream, wiggles through trees with ease, and is surprisingly smooth on groomers! The new edge amplifier makes this ski feel even better under foot on hard snow and ice than the previous version. This ski tends to ski a little shorter than it measures, so don't be afraid to go up a little bit from your regular size. 

Salomon's Review: Ripping ladies rejoice - the QST Stella 106 is your go-to. Charge big film lines like Emma Patterson and Leah Evans with this 106-waisted freeride ski. With its innovative shape, C/FX layup, and cork inserts for power and stability, the Stella is nimble, charging big lines and navigating tight couloirs.

For skiers with a developed technique that are confident carving no matter the difficulty of the slope, the snow conditions, or their speed.

The skis' medium camber delivers good grip on hard-packed snow, while a progressive, long rocker in the tip and tail facilitates floating above soft snow.
