Seek. Find. Ski.
Everything sounds different when touring - Steady breathing, skins gliding, wind hitting the ridge, ripping skins at the top, the snow on your face as you drop in and the echo of your voice letting everyone, or no one, know how much fun skiing is.
QST ECHO 106
Designed in collaboration with Cody Townsend and put to the test on The Fifty, the QST Echo 106 gives you everything you need in a backcountry ski and nothing that you don't. Versatile and trusted shape and waist width – check. All-new lightweight core – done. Echo specific variations of cork damplifier and basalt reinforcement for a confidence inspiring ski regardless of conditions – you betcha!
ULTRALIGHT CORE & CONSTRUCTION
A lightweight karuba/poplar core pairs with basalt fibers and cork damplifier in the tip and tail serving up a ski that doesn't weigh you down on the up yet still delivers the iconic QST stability and performance on down.
DEVELOPED WITH CODY TOWNSEND
If The Fifty project and it’s wealth of iconic lines created the question, then the answer is that ski you’ve been seeing Cody skiing the past two years - the QST Echo 106. “The QST line has always been dependable,” said Townsend. “But I needed something with a more lightweight construction that still retained the energy, playfulness and confidence that makes the QST line so damn good.”
MADE WITH SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
Is this a perfect eco-friendly ski? No. But we did approach the construction of the QST Echo with sustainability as a main theme. With that in mind, we were able to integrate 100% recycled ABS in the double sidewall and create a topsheet that is made of 30% recycled materials.
