Manufacturers description
Whether you are doing laps in back-bowl powder, dropping down a steep line or flying down your favorite groomers, the QST 99 gives you the confidence to always push your limits. Full Sandwich Sidewalls guarantees stability and precision, it enhances performance by providing good edge grip and smooth ski-to-snow contact. The patented and exclusive C/FX technology is elevated to the next level of performance by being supercharged with two times more carbon and balanced with basalt to keep its superior dampening and vibration absorption properties. Cork is three times more absorbing than Koroyd. Using it in the tip of the ski enables a high level of vibration absorption and dampening with even less weight.

Strengths:
Lightly flexible and easily suspended with good edge grip even in hard conditions.
Weaknesses:
Hardly a weakness considering the geometry, but if you have to complain about something, it's when it's icy and steep.
Summary:
Good all-rounder that can handle hard driving if it is not pure ice. Feels good even in deep snow. Kind, but fun even for advanced riders.

Strengths:
From my point of view it can be used on any terrain and in all conditions. Good power transmission even on steep and groomed slopes, albeit technically demanding. Due to the lower waist and the structure of course on the piste not to be compared with the performance of a hard race or SL carver - but it shouldn't and can't be like that.
Despite the length I ride, also narrow and maneuverable well on moguls. Also very good in soft snow/sulphur on warmer days, as the ski floats well.
Very manoeuvrable in terrain and loose snow. This will be the main area of use, the reason why you buy this ski (I can't judge park).
Weaknesses:
Naturally limited range of use on hard groomed pistes, but still safe and easy to ride.
Summary:
If you are looking for a ski for every day and for all conditions, which is also suitable for shorter ascents, you have made a very good choice with this ski in my opinion. The ski is a compromise for the piste, in a positive sense of the word, and perfect for off-piste and short (after all, short is a relative and condition-dependent term even with lighter material) ski tours.

Strengths:
Stable and good in piste / carv without losing flow in loose snow / harder ground.
Weaknesses:
So far none.
Summary:
Good all-round & ommountain ski for those who do not want several different layers. Has this with Salomon shift and can thus both touring and lying on the piste.

Salomon QST 99 in model year 2020 has been added twice as much carbon fiber as compared to previously in the fabric called C / FX. This is balanced with the rock basalt so as not to get nervous skiing (so that the carbon fiber doesn't feel like "a chi wau wau on 3 shots espresso", as team rider Cody Towsend said about the QST series a few years ago), this gives one more cushioned and vibration-proof version of the almountain ski QST 99. The core of the ski is still wood-punched poplar and this is also reinforced with a frame of popular ski material titanal (an aluminum variant). Solomon has also put cork in the top instead of the hive material Koroyd, and this because cork is three times more absorbent than Koroyd. The rocker profile is "All-Terrain" (why should all brands find their own words for this ... moan and yawn!), Which means rocker in the nose, span under foot and small rocker in the back. So whether you go for a little powder, run a steep slope, or flutter around a bit - Salomon QST 99 love gives you the confidence to rip everywhere. Quote from the test riders: “This ski has a syllable edge grip and likes to go fast! Stable at high speed and easy to maneuver in the off-piste "and:" QST 99 can be the ski for those looking for a nice mix of off-piste and piste skiing. "

Strengths:
Capable all-round ski
Weaknesses:
Can be experienced as unstable due to the light construction at the top.
Summary:
Åre, April 2018.
The sun's rays inexorably transform the morning's hard-rock manchester into the glass-like substance, which, after many skis and pressures, makes the piste the ice-skating rink of ice and snow drifts that either love or hate. The ski from Salomon, which is found in the middle of the width spectrum of their QST line, thrives superbly in these conditions. It is one, for its width, swift ski from edge to edge that does not get rid of on the harder ground and that brilliantly and comes to its right in the soft sorbene that spring's lovely skiing offers.
QST 99 is a capable ski for the piste in all its phases, which also works outside the marked slopes when the powder settles between trees and over rocks. If you are looking for a pair of skis that can be your companion during the midwinter ice cold mornings as well as in the spring sun's slush afternoons, QST 99 is a couple you should definitely put on your shortlist.
