Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Salomon QST Stella 106 - any views?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

My wife is thinking of getting Salomon Stella 106 QST in the sales. Any views on how these ski versus say the Volkl 108?

She is more likely to be skiing off the sides of piste rather than proper back country so wondering if a 90+ ski might suit better. She currently skis a Volkl Flair for piste days but hates these I the slush and new snow!

Any help welcomed.

IMHO yes 80-90mm for mostly on piste with occasional forays to the side (which will very rarely be deep untracked powder!!)

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hard to say without knowing her height/weight.

@Bennyboy1, I bought male version for a ski trip to Japan this Feb. I loved them (6'2 or 188cm, 90-95 kg) in a new snow and worked well on piste too. My ski is 188 version. Easy and light ski that holds edge on hard pack rather well and can be pushed. If Stella construction is similar to the male version, then it is a really versatile ski that is fun (not hardcore, but still doing it's job properly). It is brilliant on a new snow, would definitely take them back to JPN and will most likely ski them this coming Jan in Champoluc.

For a lighter person like you wife, the skis should feel rather solid, but still fun, choose the right size though (not too short - if you would be considering between the two sizes, go for a longer one)
