Who remembers the winter of 1998? Nagano, Japan does, but that doesn't matter; bobsledding and figure skating have nothing to do with charging your mountain. The Salomon Q-98 Skis know a lot about charging; anywhere, anytime, it doesn't matter, versatility is the name of the game. With a full length woodcore and 98mm waist, the Q-98 is stable and nimble on hard snow, yet wide enough underfoot to float through the blower. Salomon threw a honeycomb tip in the mix and dropped the swing weight, making the ski maneuverable when you're lining up that huck or straightline. Stop worrying about maybe's and expand your options. Whether it's pow, hardpack, or variable snow, the Q-98 will let you charge.
