Product Info
The best way to explain the Salomon Q-103 Skis is if you combined a surfboard and a race ski. Too good to be true you say? What we mean is the Salomon Q-103 Stella surfs powder and lays tracks on groomers. When lightweight meets low swing weight you win; the full woodcore with a honeycomb tip makes the ski stable, lively, and chatter-free. Utility rocker means the Q-103 gives you the float you want in deeper snow and maneuverability in tight spots. For an everyday pow ski (yes that is a thing) the Stella won't come up short.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Utility Rocker – Designed for maximum versatility, directional stability, and float in powder
Carve Zone – The traditionally cambered section of twin rocker skis, where the sidecut is focused for more power, energy and edge grip.
Shape
Hook Free Taper – Ski has 5-point sidecut, with taper in the tip and tail for easier turn initiation and steering in soft and variable snow conditions
Core
Full Wood Core – Full-length woodcore from tip to tail offers stability and powerful rebound
Laminates
Pulse Pad – Two layers of rubber elastomer in the tip, tail, and underfoot give shock absorption and improve durability of ski.
Sidewalls
Edgy Monocoque – Designed for freeskiing applications, with reduced excess material for more efficient energy transfer from skier to snow. Single structural layer of fiber provides optimal comfort, response, and maneuverability.
Graphics
Glossy Topsheet
Additional Features
Honeycomb Tip – Provides more float, less chatter, and a reduced swing weight
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

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. Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

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
Long > 22 m radius is best for powder and big-mountain.

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.
