Salomon QST Stella 106 Skis - Women's 2023
The Salomon QST Stella 106 Skis are refined perfection in a soft snow freeride tool. They're nimble, lightweight, and directional, perfect for crushing around the resort or dancing through trees in the side country. They're dependable and fun, and the level of technical detail put into them is simply astounding. Cutout sections in the tips are filled with cork for lightweight dampening, and a blend of flax and carbon fiber is placed underfoot. The full poplar core lends the stability and power needed for high speed performance, and the tapered tips and twin rocker profile keeps them loose and bouncy. Find out why so many skiers of all levels turn to the Stella 106 when there's fresh snow to be slayed!
Product Details
Rocker Type
Tip and Tail Rocker
Core
Full Poplar Woodcore – A woodcore from tip to tail offers optimum stability on snow and powerful rebound. Maximizes ski-to-snow contact and filters vibrations.
Laminates
Cork Damplifier – Cork is 16 times more absorptive than Koroyd. Using it in the tip and/or tail of the ski enables a high level of vibration absorption and dampening while decreasing weight.
C/FX Carbon Weave – C/FX is a fiber layer consisting of Carbon and Flax woven together. It combines the strength, stability, minimal weight of carbon with the increased level of dampening of the flax.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius:
Medium

Turning Radius
Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
- Core/Laminates: Carbon, Flax, Wood

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.

Tecnica Cochise 95 W DYN Alpine Touring Ski Boots - Women's 2023
The much-revered Tecnica Cochise 95 W DYN Alpine Touring Ski Boots get a re-design from the snow up, and apart from the great out-of-the-box fit, it's all new. Lighter, more anatomically shaped, and with a new T-Ride Hiking System walk mode that offers both better articulation and the option to lock the lever in ski mode are all hard to argue with. If you're ready for an all-mountain boot that's also raring to head to the backcountry, it's time to smile and say, "chise."
Product Details
