Salomon QST Echo 106 | 2024

Cody Townsend trusts it, enough said. The QST Echo 106 is the backcountry ski of choice for many on Salomon’s stacked lineup. Tedious uphills, Mach 10 descents, technical hop turns and more; the Echo provides. Salomon utilizes a karuba and poplar core with basalt fibers for astable ride without the weight of the traditional QST. Its 106-mm waist width gives this ski unmatched versatility. From crust to powder, you’ll be happy and confident on the QST Echo. Tester Owen Shin was happier than a Texan at a NASCAR race after his first run on these baddies. Owen says, “The Echo is the first pair of backcountry skis I’ve been able to use to ski a line the way I want to, without the flimsy or chattery feel of classic touring skis. It’s a backcountry quiver killer that rips!” If you need a stable ride on challenging lines, the QST Echo 106 calls.
