Who it's for: Young skiers taking their first real steps on the mountain. The QST Jr XS is our go-to starter ski package for kids — the anchor of our junior trade-in program and the ski we put most young beginners on at Silver Star and Big White. It comes complete with the C5 GW binding so it has everything you need walk out the door ready to ski. Light, forgiving, and sized for the youngest riders on the hill.

The QST Jr XS is built for young skiers who are just getting started — a flat, forgiving profile with 5% tip rocker that makes the ski easy to control and predictable underfoot. Composite Monocoque construction keeps it light enough for smaller riders to handle comfortably, with good edge grip for learning to turn and stop confidently on packed snow. It's the same ski Salomon has been refining for years, updated with a new graphic for 2027.

The C5 GW binding comes with the ski and will be mounted and adjusted to your child's boots by our shop team — leave the skis with us and we'll have everything set up and ready to go. All new junior ski packages purchased at Attridge include a complimentary mount and adjustment. The Juniortrak binding plate system allows boot sole length adjustment as kids grow through the season, reducing the need for early replacements.
