Salomon QST Echo 106 (Powder Ski 2024/2025)

Product Summary

The Salomon QST Echo 106's full retail price is 780 €. The Ski costs roughly 110 € more than the average price of all Powder Skis, making it a real premium Ski. If you count yourself among the best of the best, this ski is just right for you. The QST Echo 106 is a pure freeride ski. Riding on groomers is no problem but due to its fairly wide waist the ski has a strong bias towards powder runs. Available lengths for the ski are ranging between 157 and 189cm. This ski is a real cruiser and loves long turns. With a radius from 16 m to 20 m (depending on the lengh of the ski) you shouldn't expect too much in short turns.
