In the GS racecarver field we find the Salomon S / Race Pro GS, which immediately confirms the vocation of the French company and is in fact the ski of the category with the highest score in terms of maneuverability, receiving recognition as "Chosen by the testers" for next year .The Salomon S / Race Pro GS seemed to all "very funny, stable and manageable" to use Giordano Magri's words, it conveys safety and confidence to the user who can therefore enjoy very high performances, without having to concentrate too much to get the best results Skiing favors skiing and always gives clear and intuitive answers, despite the heavy structure and the difficulty in managing short spokes.
As a proposal for tight curves, Salomon S / Race Pro SL stands out for its responsive structure, soft trowel and easy and fun entry into the curve. It manages to combine stability, edge grip, important elastic responses to a soft and homogeneous deformation. The ski is always fun and very manageable in any condition, but it is quite sectorial: it is not suitable for wide curves and at high speeds loses stability .
The ski for the intermediate high level spokes, the all-round performance category, is called Salomon S / Race Rush GS.It is a tough ski, with an excellent structure that manages to be gradual and soft in the deformation. It is a high-level ski, designed for those looking for high performance and is willing to think about every curve, setting, management and closure. He likes it not only for its stability but also for its management, he always skis on the tracks, provided he knows how to lead it.
For skiers looking for a simpler ski in management than a racecar or have not yet achieved mastery of management, levels 5 and 4, Salomon offers the new S / Force series.
The Salomon S / Force BOLD is presented by the French company for skiers of level 5, it has been tested on loose snow after a spring snowfall, the sidecut offers a valid support for rough terrain, it is almost a GT: it goes fast and absorbs the roughness of the ground well, filtering it properly. The spatula has a slight rocker that allows you to easily enter the curve, although the very generous sidecut under the foot and the rather rigid structure slow down the inversion.
Next to the Bold we find the Salomon S / Force 11: this model also impresses with its ease of management. It is a tool that is aimed at the 3-4 level audience and the ski appears centered for the category. It is easy to handle at low speeds, it is possible to ski even when not in use, it is simple in tight curves, it has a generous sidecut under the foot to absorb roughness. It also allows you to progress beyond the base level and grow the skier.
In the freeski field we find the QST series with the QST 99 and QST 106 under the foot. The latter was tested only in freeride, it is a ski that gives safety, excellent in powder snow, with good buoyancy. The high sidecut makes it more suited to routes with fresh snow and powder and open fields rather than turning in the strait, it is well structured and performs well even at speed. and does not disappoint on the track, where it adapts to the terrain and proves to be versatile, in any condition and pace.
