Hook Free Taper additionally moves the ski’s widest points slightly away from the tip and tail and towards the binding, designed for better turn initiation and reduced hooking, especially in powder and other conditions outside the groomers. Full Woodcore is built in to give the ski stability and reduce chatter and Utility Rocker that lifts the tip and tail up and off the ground, intended for floatation, absorption, and edge grip. Each ski has its own specialty, but they all share an intention to shred all over the mountain and provide lots of fun.
SALOMON QLAB SERIES
The Backside All Mountain series is comprised of six different skis ranging from 85 – 115 mm underfoot. And for something similar but skinnier, check out the Q-105, Q-98, Q-90, and Q-85. For something similar but wider, check out the Q-115. Honeycomb Tip technology lightens the tip, designed for extra floatation and less chatter. Double Ti Laminate utilizes two layers of titanium, designed for extra stability and powerful turns. Full Sandwich Sidewall construction utilizes ABS plastic and laminates designed for a lightweight and durable profile. It’s also got a long, 20.5 m radius designed for big, fast turns no matter what terrain you choose. While this ski is designed to hold up on groomers, it’s mainly intended for charging through powder and other conditions outside of the corduroy. The Q-Lab is the second-widest ski in Salomon’s Backside All Mountain series, with a 104 mm waist (at 183 cm).
