Salomon QST Echo 106 Skis 2025
Eager to tour on your favorite ski but don't want the added weight? The Salomon QST Echo 106 Skis are the answer. This evolution of the acclaimed QST line combines the versatile shape of the QST 106 with a karuba and poplar core, superlight basalt fibers, and cork damplifier material in the tip and tail to create a light but supremely capable backcountry ski. Inspired by Cody Townsend's adventures in the high alpine, the QST Echo thrives in all conditions - suffer-fests and all.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Freeride Rocker Profile – 25% Tip Rocker / Camber / 17% Tail Rocker
Core
Karuba / Poplar Full Woodcore – A woodcore from tip to tail offers optimum stability on snow and powerful rebound. Maximizes ski-to-snow contact and filters vibrations. Karuba is one of the lightest woods available for ski construction.
Laminates
Basalt Superlight Fibers
Cork Damplifier – Cork is 16 times more absorptive than Koroyd. Using it in the tip and/or tail of the ski enables a high level of vibration absorption and dampening while decreasing weight.
Sidewalls
Double Sidewalls Technology – A high density injected piece of ABS underfoot combined with full length sidewalls creates a strong platform underfoot to maximize grip on hard snow.
100% Recycled Double Sidewalls
Graphics
30% Recycled Topsheet Materials
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Alpine Touring

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius
Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
- Core/Laminates: Wood

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.

ATK Raider 13 Evo Alpine Touring Ski Bindings
Already having made a name for themselves as "best in class" in the lightweight tech binding category, ATK refuses to rest on their laurels and the new ATK Raider 13 Evo Alpine Touring Ski Bindings exemplify their commitment to improving the breed. The EVO series employs a new toepiece that's easier to step in to and is adjustable for both locked (touring mode) and unlocked (ski mode) release strength, allowing the user to adjust it perfectly for their weight and skiing style. The new heel employs an "Automatic Braking System®" activated by rotating the heel unit rather than the previous push-in lever. As with other ATK bindings, the ease of step-in and accuracy of release is unparalleled due to the use of their patented Cam Release System® heel pins.
Product Details
Toe
Release Adjustment Toe Piece® – Easy Entry System® toepiece gemometry makes step-in easy and confident with any tech boot available on the market, even with worn soles. Toe retention is also adjustable in addition to heel retention.
Snow Pack Proof System® – No snow pack under the toe arms, even with multiple transitions.
U.H.V.® System (Up-hill Hardness Variator) – Allows you to change the uphill locking retention, compensates for tech insert wear, and provides correct locking strength for users of different weights.
Heel
Automatic Brake System® – Activated by rotating the heel piece from uphill to downhill mode.
Cam Release System® – Heel pins rotate outward via a cam mechanism for the smoothest step-in and release in the industry.
Elastic Response System® – An elastic sliding system with 14mm of travel ensures natural ski flex, reduces pressure on the ski-boot-binding system, and improves binding release performance.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.
