X Pro Custom Heat
Imagine the identical comforts of the X-Pro 100 in a boot with its own built-in heat source, ready to begin pumping out BTU’s from the moment it’s donned. This isn’t some virtual reality future, but a new boot for 2017 with a slightly stronger 110 flex index and an...QST 118
The Salomon QST 118 is all about the drift. It likes to smudge the top of the turn, swivel a smidge in the middle and pivot as it drifts to the finish. If a turn were a performance of Hamlet, the QST 118 would show up near the end of Act II and leave before Act IV.
Aside from its smear tactics, the most noticeable trait of the QST 118 is its light weight, less than 2kg in a 185cm, which is a blessing considering its surface area, roughly the same square mileage as Montenegro. All you have to do to guide the QST 118 through powder is push it around; advanced technical skills aren’t required.

At a most probable price of $499, the QST 92 delivers confidence and a measure of competence to eternal intermediates and early-stage advanced skiers who want to break the bonds of boring groomed trails and tackle off-trail terrain. That’s it’s as light as a salad for lunch makes it all the easier to toss around in tight quarters like trees and chutes.
