The QST Echo 106 is a touring-specific evolution of the iconic QST line. The QST Echo 106 combines a karuba/ poplar core, superlight basalt fibers, and cork damplifier, for a lighter, livelier, go-anywhere backcountry ski. The perfect choice for the freeriders aiming for longer tours.
Rocker Camber Rocker
The ski is easy to turn thanks to a rise in both the tip and the tail. Due to the camber under the foot, the waist of the ski provides grip on harder snow. Skis with this type of profile like to be skied from a more centred stance..
Karuba Poplar Core
A mix between Karuba and Poplar. Karuba provides lightness and inertia, while Poplar offers stability, liveliness, and good ski-to-snow contact.
Cork Damplifier
A cork-and-TPU insert molded together as one piece, positioned inside the rocker profile at the tip and tail. The cork structure effectively absorbs vibrations, helping to minimize chatter and smooth impacts while adding minimal weight. This results in a calmer, more stable ride, particularly at higher speeds and in variable snow.
Double Sidewalls
Full length sidewalls are combined with a high-density injected pieces of ABS underfoot to create a strong platform underfoot to maximize grip on hard snow.
Sidewall Construction
A durable PU sidewall seals and protects the ski’s layered construction while adding structural strength. By improving power transfer from the skier to the edges, sidewall construction delivers better edge grip, increased stability at speed, and more precise handling. It also enhances durability and impact resistance for long-lasting performance.

The shape of a freeride ski is designed for use off the piste. Its wider platform provides more flotation in soft and deep snow, while helping the ski remain stable and controlled in variable snow conditions.
A Tip & Tail Rocker profile has an earlier-rising tip and tail with camber underfoot. This makes the ski easier to turn and increases versatility in soft and variable snow.
Offers a good balance between easy flexing and sufficient support. This keeps the ski accessible at a relaxed pace while providing more stability and control as speed and load increase.
With a radius of 18m @ 173cm, this ski offers a good balance between easy turn initiation and stability at speed. It feels predictable in short to medium-length turns and remains stable as the pace increases.
