Like-New Condition! The 2027 Salomon QST 94 with Demo bindings brings a poplar woodcore, full-length basalt fibers, and a freeride rocker profile together in a versatile all-mountain ski with a freeride lean. The mid-nineties waist is the sweet spot for skiers who want one tool for morning groomers, midday chop, and the occasional powder stash without feeling out of place anywhere. It's damp and composed, and it rewards skiers who move around the mountain instead of staying locked to the trail map. Demo bindings are the adaptable part of this package, built to take a wide range of boot sizes.

Why we like it:

The new Cork Damplifier inlay in the tip and tail is the standout. It quiets chatter at speed without adding mass, which is rare in a ski this width, and the basalt and fiberglass weave gives the QST 94 a smoother, more progressive flex than a lot of the carbon-heavy skis in its class.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert skiers who ride the whole mountain and want a ski that can carve a clean turn on hardpack without being afraid of softer snow. It's a great fit if you've been on a frontside ski and want to expand into off-trail terrain without giving up on-trail composure. Solid intermediates pushing into advanced territory will get along with it too, though the QST 94 does want some input to come alive.

Highlights:

The cork inlays set inside the rocker profile at the tip and tail are where this ski separates itself from its predecessor, damping vibration without adding weight so a build that isn't especially heavy still feels calm at speed. Under that, a full poplar woodcore supplies liveliness and consistent ski-to-snow feel, and full-length basalt and fiberglass running tip to tail handle smooth flex and dependable edge grip, keeping a 94 mm waist connected underfoot without feeling overbuilt. The freeride rocker profile with camber underfoot gives real bite when you tip it over while keeping the tip floaty enough for variable snow, and a refined shape that enters a turn more progressively makes the ski feel quicker than the width implies. Finishing the package, the demo binding adjusts to fit most boot sizes.

Things to consider:

This isn't a dedicated powder ski. You'll get float in moderate fresh snow but not on deep storm days, where the QST 100 or 106 is the better call. The QST 94 also rewards active skiing more than it indulges passive input, so if you're looking for a true cruiser you may find it a touch demanding.

Fit & sizing considerations:

It sizes true to length, so most skiers should pick their usual size, then drop a length for tighter terrain and quicker turns or bump up for more stability at speed and better float in soft snow.
