Fast under foot, stable AND powerful at high speed (49mph) and an overall delight to spend the day on.
I am a huge fan of these skis. I am 5'9" 180lbs and skied the 180cm. This is on the longer side of my length preferences for other skis but these felt perfect. These are my ideal ski for days in between storms. I like to ski all over the mountain but like to jump into the trees or bowls as much as possible. I like to ski fast but fine slowing down when conditions call for it, so I don't need or want the most damp and planted skis. These have an amazing trick where they feel incredibly damp and stable on piste, they make me feel like i can push my comfort zone without scaring me, this isn't all that special but other skis that do this are horrible off piste. But then off piste, its amazing how accessible and forgiving they are off piste. I have ridden the old 98s and the new 100s and felt like thought they both lacked energy and pop. These 94s make skiing fun again. I would recommend these to anyone looking for fun accessible skis with a higher than expected speed limit especially if you don't see a lot of deep (1' +) snow or have another set of skis for those conditions. I will be replacing my Line Blade Optic 96s with these next year. QSTs are as much or more playful and accessible but more stable, essentially a wider sweet spot.
WOW! The new QST 94mm shape is unbeliveable! Incredibly responsive and energetic! The new tail shape make it super stable and so fun to carv. You don't feel the 94mm underfoot as it cut trought the groomer. That make the ski super versatile and a great all-mountain option for most of all skier that want a one quiver ski!
The QST 100 is a versatile all mountain ski. Great for the soft snow, steep technical lines. Powerful enough to be be stable at high speeds. But playful enough -;
Carves well, is forgiving, can handle some fresh snow but still has a good back bone and handles speed comfortably.
Just skied the Qst 94s this morning and they are amazing! Super quick and surfy but holds up great at speed too!
Edge to edge is great, with enough width underfoot that you're not drowning when you find the powder stash
Great demo at Stevens pass. These guys are great!!
