The Salomon Q98 proved to be a freeride ski that did most things adequately, but no one thing spectacularly. That said, our tester enjoyed the ride.

Salomon offer a huge range of skis this season as usual and the Q98 will probably not be the stand out of them. However, if you're looking for a decent quality freeride ski that will perform predictably in all conditions you'll probably like it.

We found it more fun to ski on groomed terrain as it seemed a little too light and twitchy off-piste and tricky to handle in crud, but some skiers will enjoy this responsiveness and if that sounds like you then the Q98 is worth checking out.
