Salomon's QST line has cemented its place in the modern skiing lexicon as a byword for all mountain freeride performance. The beating heart of this dynasty is the QST 106 - a do anything, go anywhere ripper with a penchant for soft snow. Its versatile 106mm waist is the perfect set-and-forget width for a West Coast daily driver, and makes for a great powder ski anywhere else. Cork Damplifier inserts in tip and tail keep the ride buttery smooth in variable conditions, and a moderately stiff flex through the tail provides bags of stability at speed, as well as impressive grip on firmer snow. For the perfect quiver-of-one, look no further than the Salomon QST 106 Skis.
All Terrain Rocker – 25% Tip Rocker / 58% Camber / 17% Tail Rocker
Light Poplar Full Woodcore – A woodcore from tip to tail offers optimum stability on snow and powerful rebound. Maximizes ski-to-snow contact and filters vibrations.
C/FX Carbon Weave – The patented and exclusive C/FX technology provides superior an unrivaled versatility thanks to the power of carbon and flax, allowing for one of the best performance / weight ratios on the market.
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.
Double Sidewall Construction – A high density injected piece of ABS underfoot combined with full length sidewalls creates a strong platform underfoot to maximize the grip on hard snow.
TPU Glossy Topsheet

When it comes to tech bindings you can use for daily skiing, the Marker Kingpin 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings still rule the roost. Light enough for adventurous touring but tough enough to slap on your daily drivers, the Kingpin 13 simply gets the job done with a weight of only 758 grams per foot. In addition, the power transmission with the spring-loaded Kingpin heel unit is a an improvement you'll feel over the traditional twin-pin tech heel connection. A favorite of hard charging backcountry types and working snow professionals. *Please Note: These bindings have updated toe pieces from Marker and are not affected by the August, 2018 recall.*
Kingpin Toe – The PinTech design on the KingPin toe piece promotes an ergonomic rolling up the foot and the most direct possible connection to the ski. Six steel springs capture the energy optimally, up to a DIN setting of 13. Individually adjustable positioning blocks make it quick and easy to step in no matter what the conditions.
Updated Toe – These bindings have updated toe pieces from Marker and are not affected by the August, 2018 recall.
Kingpin Heel – The revolutionary heel construction for the PinTech bindings features wide sole contact points to deliver the kind of direct, lossless power transfer more frequently seen in alpine bindings.
Kingpin Climbing Aid | 0° / 7° / 13° – Good climbing aids have one thing in common: Whatever the situation, they can be operated by feel, even when the skier can't see them clearly. Simplicity is a virtue here, and reduced exertion is even better. The KINGPIN wins hearts and minds through two integrated climbing aids (7° and 13°) that are easily deployed or stowed using the basket of the pole. They can also be operated conveniently using the tip of the pole, allowing them to work with any basket style. Because the climbing aids are positioned in the upper center of the heel piece, they are always easy to reach.
Walk / Ski Modes – The refined locking/unlocking procedure for the heel piece is part of the binding's charm. It takes just one step to switch from walk to ski mode: Simply flip a lever, push down on the heel and you're good to go. The mechanism works even in critical situations and challenging descents.
One Size Fits All – Boots with tech toe fittings are required.
TÜV Certified to ISO/DIN 13992:2007 – The Marker Kingpin is one of only a few tech touring bindings to have passed the ISO/DIN 13992 standard.

The new Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 120 Alpine Touring Ski Boots retain all that was remarkable about the first generation, with a few notable updates that improve utility and comfort. The thinner liners are gone, replaced by highly moldable and significantly more comfortable Mimic Platinum Liners, and a move to GripWalk soles improves day-to-day functionality and compatibility with your alpine bindings. The fantastic touring mode, highly adaptable Memory Fit shell, and super responsive performance remain unchanged. Grab 'em while you can, the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 120 Alpine Touring Ski Boots are better than ever.
Last: 98 mm – A narrow and low volume touring last.
Memory Fit – Advanced heat-fitting technology creates a fully personalized shell, cuff and liner in minutes. The key is Memolink, Atomic's special additive that improves the moldability and stretch of their plastics. Expansion can be up to 6mm forefoot width and up to 10mm ankle width, resulting in a permanent and complete anatomical fit in minutes. See your bootfitter for details.
Flex: 120 – A stiff flex for a powerful and responsive feel, suitable for expert skiers.
True Flex – This Atomic-exclusive shell material provides the same flex in a wide variety of temperatures so your boot won't feel too stiff in the winter or lose power in the spring.
Mimic Platinum Liner with Touring Flex Zone – This is a boot that feels right from the very start. The heel, ankle, and tongue feature a layer of supportive, heat-moldable material. After being softened in the oven, this material mimics the precise shape of your foot and hardens for a perfect custom fit.
Prolite – Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed - like the Energy Backbone down each boot spine.
Energy Backbone – A reinforced, asymmetric backbone providing extra strength for powerful skiing plus enhanced lateral energy transmission for better edge grip.
Shell – True Flex Polyurethane
Cuff – Polyurethane
Forward Lean – 13˚ / 15˚ (Default) / 17˚
Free / Lock 4.0 – 54˚ Range of Motion with 13˚ (Default) and 15˚ Adjustable Forward Lean Options. Simple, Light and Bombproof.
