April saw the NS crew return to Banff Sunshine Village for our third annual ski testing bonanza.
Some are definitely on the wide side, but we felt comfortable skiing all of these skis anywhere.
They have a pretty solid flex, tons of rocker, and the mounting point is super flexible.
They also pivot as well as any ski in this class we can think of.
you might definitely take them in the park too.
“Definitely my top ski of the test.
Super poppy and fun through moguls.
Handled mixed snow, groomers and everything in between, felt like they were a good charger ski too.
The sidecut and low weight make them very easy to handle.
Dare we say it, you could ski these every day.
Both@Twigand our filmer Aaron were backing these as park skis somehow.
“Very playful and easy to turn.
Very forgiving on the legs too.
Essentially, these are a Black Ops 110 in all but name and weight.
These skis are going to be everywhere this season, and with good reason too.
Pretty buttery with softer tips and tails.
But the ski transforms when you send big, it almost feels like it stiffens up.
Definitely an all-mountain jibber ready for whatever you throw at it.
Whatever snow you are faced with, the QST is happy enough to power through.
They are definitely a directional ski but they responded surprisingly well to having the bindings pushed way forward.
Great ski for the pow, so surfy and very easy to maneuver around the trees.
The party trick is they are so solid in the landings.
The testers on them becoming instantly harder to keep up with for our camera squad, these things GO.
Amazingly, they even got some love in the park.
These are hard to beat as an inbounds charger that can handle some playful skiing here and there.
They are still a stable ski but there’s enough forgiveness to make them a more enjoyable ride.
And the lower weight is a bit easier to spin too.
It has a ton of rocker and that gives it that super fun poppy feel in the soft snow.
“Lightweight, super buttery, reliable in landing on choppy snowy.
They don’t feel 110 underfoot so taking them on groomers while youre inbetween powder laps is no problem.
Very playful”- Abby Laviolette
