Lightweight, lively, and built for backcountry adventure, the Salomon S/Lab QST Echo is a touring-focused evolution of the legendary QST 106. With a 106 mm waist and a freeride-inspired profile, it’s designed to handle everything from steep powder lines to chopped-up crud with confidence and ease.

Crafted with a Karuba/Poplar Full Woodcore, the QST Echo strikes the ideal balance of low weight and energy, while Flax Carbon Superlight fibers enhance stability and rebound for a responsive, smooth ride. A Cork Damplifier in the tip absorbs vibrations for a quiet, controlled feel, and Ti Binding Reinforcement underfoot ensures solid edge grip and power transmission on firm snow. The Full Sandwich Sidewall construction, made from 100% recycled materials, delivers precise handling and durability while reducing environmental impact.

Engineered for advanced and expert freeride tourers who want a ski that performs as well on the climb as it does on the descent, the S/Lab QST Echo combines sustainability, strength, and soul in one all-conditions touring package.
