The 2027 Salomon QST Blank Team is a youth freeride ski built for adventurous groms who want to explore off-piste terrain and float through soft snow. With a playful twin-tip shape and solid all-mountain backbone, this ski encourages progression in trees, side hits, and deeper days. Paired with the lightweight L6 GW binding, it delivers a fun, confidence-boosting setup for young riders pushing their boundaries.

Why we like it:

The Blank Team offers just the right blend of float, maneuverability, and dampness for junior freeriders. It’s playful without being flimsy, which makes it incredibly versatile across the mountain.

Who it's for:

Young skiers who are moving beyond groomers and into more varied, off-trail terrain. Ideal for adventurous intermediates and advanced juniors.

Highlights:

Rocker-camber-rocker profile adds float and forgiveness; lightweight wood core keeps the ski agile and easy to manage; L6 GW bindings provide security and a great fit with modern boots.

Things to consider:

This is a freeride-tuned ski, so hardpack carving won’t be as precise as a race or frontside-focused model.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Size based on height and intended terrain; longer for more stability off-piste, shorter for agility and ease of control.
