Salomon q lab 1906/17/2023 (Photo: jared Hargrave – )Ĭhop: On tracked up runs with chop and bumps, the Salomon Q-LAB gobbled up everything in their path. A closer look at the tips and topsheet of the Salomon Q-LAB skis. I couldn’t help it… these skis are just monsters. In fact, I got yelled at by ski patrol above Corkscrew for going too fast. They are fast and directional, but even at speed, I could stop on a dime without much effort. On a warm-up run beneath Alta’s Collins chair, the Q-LAB were chomping at the bit to go go go. Turn initiation is immediate and the tails have a slarvy feeling from turn to turn without any hints of hookiness. Groomers: From the first run, I knew I liked these skis. Testing the new Salomon Q-LAB skis in the Erosion Gullies off the Supreme Lift at Alta. I have not tested the Q-LAB on a really deep storm day yet, but I eagerly await the chance. I’ve skied the 182cm length at Alta in many different conditions from hard pack, to groomers, and even some shallow powder. Wood S-Core (poplar and ash) with two titanium laminates.Utility Rocker (rockered tip and tail, traditional camber underfoot).I’ll get into the reasoning why below, but first, the details: Salomon Q-LAB skis on the snow for review at Alta. Well, the Q-105 has been dethroned, as my NEW favorite ski, the Salomon Q-LAB, is far and away the most fun and aggressive ski I’ve ever clicked into. Last year, I was over the moon for Salomon’s Q-105 skis. I found them to be awesome as daily drivers at Alta with enough float for powder days and carve-ability for groomers when it hasn’t snowed in a while.
