At this point, its performance has been proven over and over again in different iterations of the QST skis. C/FX is a woven blend of carbon and flax, designed to provide the energy, responsiveness, and stability of carbon, but in a smoother, damper feel thanks to the inclusion of flax. That poplar core is supported by a center strip of their C/FX material.

Salomon starts the QST 98 with a full poplar wood core. I was admittedly pretty skeptical, but the stuff works. I’ll never forget the first time someone at Salomon told me there was flax in their new skis.
Let’s start with construction, as Salomon is one of those companies who uses relatively unique materials. This QST 98 replaces the QST 99 and carries forward the theme of versatility, but actually has some similarities to the Blank in its shape and overall performance.
They feel playful and maneuverable when you’re feeling that way or when skiing technical terrain, yet they have always had a smooth, stable feel. I’ve always been impressed with the way they handle a wide variety of snow conditions. To me, the QST line has always been about versatility and adaptability with a relatively playful, fun-loving feel. In that review, we mentioned there’s another new QST ski for 2022, and although we love skiing the Blank, this ski is more appropriate for most skiers, the new QST 98. A little over a month ago, we released our review of the new Salomon QST Blank skis.
