 Poster: A snowHead

Is there a difference between salomon QST 99 and the QST lumen 99?I am female and need a 167cm skis and have demo'd the QST and like them.
can't tell from the spec whether there is a difference other than the lumen being a female ski.

@Knee Deep, same ski apart from the graphics , I have the 2019 QST 99 in 167cm ( im 165 cm tall and 72 kg Male ) they are probably the best "all mountain " ski I've owned , when I demoed them they only had the lumen in my size , exactly the same ski , I have them mounted with the new shift binding which makes them even more versatile

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

@Knee Deep, see what ski/binding combination deals are out there , the tyrolia attack is a nice light binder that will pair well with the skis , but if you can find a deal on the shift you won't regret it

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Knee Deep, I have the slightly older version, instead of Lumen it’s Lux. Can’t fault them.

@Dabber,I am considering the shift bindings, not got into touring yet, but can see me doing it some time soon.however few local sources (Tignes) have warned me that they are very 'kickable' at the moment, not sure if that should put me off.
is it possible to change to shift binding once the bindings have been put on?

What do they mean ‘kickable’? I’m thinking of getting these bindings.

its is possible to swop bindings , but depends on the hole patterns of the two bindings you were considering , but if I was hoping to get into touring at some point in the near future I would defiantly consider the shift , as there is no compromise on the downhill capability over most alpine bindings . and they also complement the lighter QST skis as they make for great lightweight set up . the only other thing you have to consider is to tour with the shift you need tech inserts in your boots so lots to think about
as regards "nick ability " they would defo be a desirable item , check out this thread https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=141535&highlight=
