Luke Koppa and Sam Shaheen review the Salomon QST 106 for Blister

2021-2022 Salomon QST 106

by
We were fans of the popular Salomon QST 106, and it was one of our top picks for “50/50” inbounds & backcountry use. But for 19/20, Salomon has redesigned this ski, and we think it now has a different target demographic. Check out our review of the new QST 106.

Sam Shaheen reviews the G3 ROAMr 108 for Blister

2021-2022 G3 ROAMr 108

by
The G3 ROAMr 108 is specifically designed for both inbounds skiing and backcountry touring, and with its two layers of titanal and a relatively low weight, we think it will work well for a lot of skiers interested in a “50/50” ski.
