Strengths:
In my opinion, one of the best all mountain/ Freeride skis that I have tested and owned.
A good ski that goes really well on hard piste, a bit fluttery in the tips at higher speeds but nothing that really bothers me. Flows well in loose snow, haven't tested any sick waist-deep powder, but normal Swedish powder and works super well. Stable and reasonably playful ski. You simply trust the ski.
Weaknesses:
none I found.
Summary:
Good stable and playful ski for the whole mountain. The summary is that it fits perfectly for Swedish conditions.

No
Summary:
Only ridden a week so far, 80% summit trip but with a very mixed surface. Am impressed! Changed from a similar, previous Salomon model from type 2013 and experiences better stability and less flutter even though the weight of these is several hg lower! Nice to get confirmation that the development is progressing!
Did not try really light fresh snow but drove in soft drive snow and strongly affected by the wind. On the other hand, I feel that they can handle both hard and soft really well. Even sticky cuddly snow goes well.
I think the weight goes well for the summit trip. But if you really do nothing but walk up the mountains, they are in the heaviest team.

Strengths:
Fantastic all round.
Good carving properties.
Moved in pillows in its width.
The relationship between weight and performance.
Weaknesses:
The tip flutters on hard ground at higher speeds.
Summary:
The ski delivers performance in both piste and powder which is a difficult equation to get together.
It is very fun to carve with the piste at the same time as it floats well in powders and is relatively stable when it is uneven and driven.
The combination of flow, stability and suppleness of powder together with the carving performance is what makes skiing so good.

About the ski: Salomon QST 106 has been transformed into 2019/2020. New dimensions and new materials. Front and back have been put in cork instead of previous honeycomb material. Equally twisted, but more easy-going according to Solomon. In stores it comes with color matching Warden binding.
Olle: - A good ski! It's really good! In the piste it is nice before today, it was possible to go fast with them both in short and long turns. Outside, it also went well, very easily. Very soft front and back, easy to play around on. At a slightly higher speed the unstable. I drove 181 cm and would have liked the long meadow. A really all-round ski! Rating 4.
Max: - A really fun ski, playful. I'm happy with it! In the piste I like that it is playful, soft in both top and bottom. Not responsive at high speed and big turns, then it is not fancy and then I would have liked more response. In shorter turns it was quick and fun. Outside it floated well and was easy to ride, cruel to cross between Swedish mountain birches. Rating 4.

Strengths:
Easy to drive.
Works both in the piste and off-piste.
Doesn't feel like it's as wide as it is.
Weaknesses:
The tips flutter in higher speeds but I have not noticed any weaknesses with it. Something many have complained about on the 17/18 ski.
Summary:
Easy to drive, works anywhere and great price.

Strengths:
Good everywhere!
Best ski in this width I tried in powder!
stable
Easily swung both inside and outside the piste
Weaknesses:
Not if you realize the limitations of a ski below 2kg compared to one that weighs 2.5kg.
Summary:
An awesome all-round ski I had both in Åre and the Alps, works well as single ski.
Easy to get rid of in bad snow and is fun in the piste. Best ski in this width I tried in powder!
Works well everywhere without being the best at something which is exactly what it should do!
