The 2027 Salomon QST 94 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW 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. Its waist puts it in 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 is a damp, composed platform that rewards skiers who like to move around the mountain rather than stay locked to the trail map. We paired the QST 94 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

The new Cork Damplifier inlay in the tip and tail is the standout here. It quiets chatter at speed without adding mass, which is rare in a ski this width. The basalt and fiberglass weave also gives this one a smoother, more progressive flex than a lot of 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 but is not afraid of softer snow. This is a great fit for skiers who have 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 it wants some skier input to come alive.

Highlights:

A full-length basalt and fiberglass layup running tip to tail is what gives this ski its smooth flex and dependable edge grip, paired with a full poplar woodcore for liveliness and consistent ski-to-snow feel. Underfoot the ski stays connected without feeling overbuilt, and the cork inlays set inside the rocker profile at each end are where it really separates from its predecessor, dampening vibration without adding weight so a 94 mm waist feels calm at speed despite a fairly light build. The freeride rocker profile with camber underfoot gives real bite when you tip it on edge while keeping the tip floaty enough for variable snow, and the shape has been refined for a more progressive turn entry that makes it feel quicker than the width suggests. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

This is not a dedicated powder ski. You will get float in moderate fresh snow but not on deep storm days, where the QST 100 or 106 is the better call. It also rewards active skiing more than it indulges passive input, so skiers looking for a true cruiser might find it a touch demanding.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Most skiers land right on their usual size with this one, dropping a length for tighter terrain and quicker turns or bumping up for more stability at speed and better float in soft snow.
