Strengths:
Fantastically playful and turns easily without losing too much in stability. Lovely in deep snow. And surprisingly fun even on the piste where it goes from edge to edge and turns almost as easily as my Redster X9 (maybe not real, but not far off).
Weaknesses:
In messy off-piste at high speed, the skis may not be as stable as some other skis with a much longer turning radius. But they are not at all fluttery as some with short radius can be.
Summary:
The happiest ski I have ever skied on. As I said, works surprisingly well even on the piste for those who like to carve hard and go on edge. I have Look Pivot binding with Cast Freetour, and can vips take any top tour with the skis too.
Model year: 2022
Riding style: Likes everything from aggressive turns to cruising in powder and going for a ride
Length on the ski: 186 cm
Riders weight: 74 kg
Riders length: 181 cm

None, what I have noticed
Summary:
Only one word is needed to describe the ski: perfect.
My background is mostly piste skiing, with a bit of a summit trip and increasingly off the piste in recent years. I have experienced that I have missed something in the skis I have had so far, so when I read about QST Blank I thought it would have been enough to make me like the off-piste more when I am there, and in that way, get me out more often. there.
Found after a lot of searching a good deal and struck out, however nervous as I had not skied on such wide skis before. Drove 105 as widest before this.
The test conditions were mixed, with some dm of fresh snow to icy and run-up piste. Thought I would try on the piste just to feel how they behaved. I expected them to be a little harder to get on edge as that's what everyone told me, so with that in the back of my mind and with the attitude "do not be disappointed now, it's no piste ski" I was a bit put off in the first turn.
The ski was absolutely amazing, the feeling was absolutely incredible.
The skis went into the turn at once and then they went like the train. It felt like no matter what I did, the skis just wanted to show how stable they were and how much they wanted me to trust them. Have not tested these in such deep snow yet but experienced the same feeling in the fresh snow that lay, the ski gave total control and wanted exactly what I wanted.
Be set on having these that are basically dedicated powder skis and only use them a little now and then, if it has snowed a lot. After riding with them, however, I feel that I do not need another ski.
