QST Blank Team + L6 GW

The Salomon QST Blank Team + L6 GW is a junior freeride package for young skiers moving from groomed runs into powder, natural features and park laps. It borrows the visual identity of the adult S/LAB QST Blank while using a size range and construction intended for juniors. The shorter lengths have 84 and 88 mm waists; the 146 and 152 cm versions widen to 92 mm for more soft-snow support.

A poplar woodcore supplies a lively, supportive platform, and full sandwich sidewalls transfer pressure to the edges on firmer sections. Rocker at both ends helps the ski pivot in soft snow and makes switch landings easier, while camber underfoot maintains contact when crossing groomed runs. The 9–13 metre turning radii keep the shape relatively compact as the lengths increase. The package includes a Juniortrack interface and L6 GW bindings.

Choose it for an intermediate or advanced junior who wants to explore beyond the piste and develop a playful style across the resort. The wider platform is useful in fresh snow but takes more effort to roll onto an edge than a narrow learning ski. A child still developing basic turn control is better served by something simpler and narrower; a powerful young skier seeking maximum support at speed may prefer a more demanding construction.
