The 2025 Salomon QST Lux 92 with Marker Squire 11 Bindings is an all-mountain setup that strikes a perfect balance between approachability and high performance, making it an excellent choice for skiers seeking a versatile, go-anywhere option. At 92 mm underfoot, the QST Lux 92 is well-equipped to handle a variety of conditions, from bumps and trees to hardpack. It is the ideal quiver-killer for those who want a friendly and capable ski that can excel in nearly any terrain. We paired the Lux with the Marker Squire 11 because of the Squire’s high performance and dependability for lighter weight all mountain and freeride skiers. With a light weight construction and a safe, reliable release, the Squire 11 is a go to choice to keep performance high and weight low.

Why we like it:

The QST Lux 92 offers an impressive combination of being both approachable and high-performing, appealing to a wide range of skiers. Its versatility and performance make it a standout choice for skiers who want a reliable ski for diverse conditions.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to advanced skiers will appreciate the intuitive design and high performance of the Salomon QST Lux 92, making it an ideal choice for those who want a ski that can handle a variety of terrains and conditions with ease.

Highlights:

The QST Lux 92 features a construction that combines the strength and stability of carbon and flax with a lightweight Poplar wood core, offering a high level of performance without excessive weight. Double sidewalls provide strong grip on firm snow, enabling confident carving down the fall line. The ski's dramatic taper in the tip and tail, along with generous rocker, facilitates easy turning at various speeds and edge angles, allowing skiers to confidently explore beyond the groomers. Marker’s Triple Pivot Light 2 Toe and Hollow Linkage Heel systems work in tandem to provide powerful energy transmission to the ski, allowing for maximum edge grip and control of the ski. Lighter weight skiers can rest easy knowing the Squire 11 will be easier than ever to step into thanks to a re-designed heel piece. Perhaps the most underappreciated feature of the Squire 11 is the anti-ice rail, which sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape the sole of your boots clean before stepping in.

Things to consider:

With a width of 92 mm underfoot, the QST Lux 92 performs well in most conditions but may struggle in very deep powder. Skiers seeking a ski specifically for deep powder days may want to consider a wider option. Conversely, those who primarily stick to groomed runs may not fully benefit from the QST Lux 92’s versatility.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The skis are true to size or slightly short. For enhanced stability at speed, consider sizing up. For maximum maneuverability in tight terrain, sizing down is recommended.
