Used two seasons starting 2022, about 10 full days of riding combined. Bindings installed and maintained by REI ski shop in San Diego. I'm boarding more and decided to let these go to someone who will use them more than me. Have not used them this season yet and they are stored in a bag indoors.
All Terrain Rocker – 20% Tip Rocker / 65% Camber / 15% Tail Rocker
I bought everything brand new from a ski shop:
QST 99 retailed for $800 when I bought them
Warden 13 bindings retailed for $300
Get a set of $1200 (with tax) skis for a fraction of the price considering condition and wear.
Two top side areas of damage are from what feels like the only crash I have had on them. No trees or rocks, mostly groomers and occasional icy runs (edges hold very well on ice). The damage is from my skis crossing at impact, so it's purely cosmetic. Bottoms of these skis are in great shape and ready to ride.
Salomon integrated a carbon laminate, which runs the entire length of the ski and is infused with basalt and is intended to increase vibration absorption. They also replaced their old Koroyd tip technology with what they call "Cork Damplifier", which is supposed to be lighter and damper.
They are great skis for a person in the intermediate range looking to up their game and seeking a soft-snow oriented set of planks. It performs like a dream on an untracked fresh line. Steep, mellow, low angle, it doesn't matter as long as mother nature has laid down a new blanket of fluff for you. The 99s float effortlessly through all but the deepest powder days, thanks to a large rockered shovel and a wide waist.
