The Salomon QST S Jr is a youth-oriented ski designed to help young riders build confidence on the slopes. It’s aimed at kids who are starting to explore different turns and snow conditions, offering a balance between playfulness and stability.
At 110 cm in length, the ski features an 8 m turn radius and a sidecut of 105/67/86 mm, giving it a snappy feel when carving while still remaining forgiving in softer snow. The lightweight construction—each ski weighs just 772 g—makes it easier for kids to lift and maneuver, so they can focus on refining their technique rather than wrestling with heavy gear. Fitted with Salomon C5 GW bindings, it offers secure release and GripWalk compatibility, which adds traction when walking around the resort.
In ski terms, the turn radius describes the size of the arc you’ll draw when making a carved turn—a smaller radius like 8 m helps initiate quicker, tighter turns. The sidecut measurements (tip/waist/tail) shape how the ski grips the snow: a wider tip and tail combined with a narrower waist make it easier to pivot and hold an edge. GripWalk bindings include a curved sole plate that improves walking traction without affecting downhill performance.
