evo.com | Salomon Skis > A lightweight ski that's got enough guts to rip the spiciest lines around the world with complete confidence? Lots of people say no, but Cody Townsend begs to differ. The Salomon S/LAB QST Echo Skis were developed with 'The Fifty' in mind, and they've hit it out of the park not only for Cody but thousands of other backcountry nuts. Built with a super light Basalt/Glass construction around a core of Karuba and Poplar, the S/LAB QST Echo keeps its edge with Double Sidewall Tech and a Freeride Rocker Profile. Sintered Base We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Freeride Rocker Profile 25% Tip Rocker / Camber / 17% Tail Rocker Karuba / Poplar Full Woodcore A woodcore from tip to tail offers optimum stability on snow and powerful rebound. Maximizes ski-to-snow contact and filters vibrations. Karuba is one of the lightest woods available for ski construction. Basalt Superlight Fibers Backcountry skiers, meet your freedom machine. The ATK HY 13 Free Alpine Touring Ski Bindings deliver incredible downhill performance in a featherweight 675g package, shattering the traditional compromise between downhill power and uphill efficiency. Its ingenious design - an intuitive, easily adjustable toe piece, seamless transitions, and a unique negative walk mode with two heel raisers - transforms how you move through mountain terrain. These bindings promise total freedom in a single, meticulously engineered system that has your back from peak to parking lot. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Seamless Transitions Switching between ascent and descent modes is effortless. Simply raise the toe arms for walking or rotate them forward and down for skiing. The intuitive design ensures reliable performance in all conditions with no needs for interchangeable parts. Heel Clamps The heel clamps, inspired by the alpine system, offers a spectacular sense of control and precision. Boot Compatibility The Hy is compatible with most alpine skiing, ski mountaineering, and freeride boots. To ensure safe and high performance, the Anti Friction Device (AFD) slider on the toe piece must be adjusted with various sole types. To achieve this, ATK developed specific spacers that fit between the sliding section of the AFD and its underlying structure. These spacers ensure proper boot-to-binding contact while accounting for the sole's thickness. Flat Skiing In ski mode, the boot sits flat on the ski, eliminating the rear-front pin height differential typical of standard pin bindings. This design delivers an alpine-like feel and performance. | Salomon S/LAB QST Echo Skis 2027 - 173 Package (173 cm) + 108 AT Bindings in White Size 173/108
