The Salomon QST Stella 106 Skis define the genre of "soft snow freeride ski" to a "T" - fantastic float for the pow, ample edgehold for the gnar, relatively low swing weight to navigate around rocks and trees, and Salomon's tradition of using input from their freeride athletes to good advantage. This is the ski to rely on when you don't want a full-width powder stick but don't want to be caught undergunned in a foot of fresh, and don't want something gutless when the going gets steep and icy.
