One of the wider skis in the all-mountain category, the Q-88 Lux is a great all-rounder and a worthy descendant of the massively popular but now-discontinued Lady.

Great for :

Does most things pretty well

There’s not really anything it’s BAD at

Target ability level :

After last season’s divergence with the double-rocker Rockette², Salomon have back-tracked a bit with their all mountain range. The Q-88 Lux is more like a descendant of the Lady, featuring tip-only rocker to combine flotation in soft snow with better tail grip on harder snow and ice. The result is an all-mountain ski that rather than just being “okay” everywhere is actually pretty good whatever you want it to do.

The Honeycomb tip is light and manoeuvrable while the full wood core, as well as being light, reduces vibrations from variable terrain or hard piste and ensures a smooth ride and strong ski-snow contact.

Utility Rocker combines a gradual tip-only rocker section for plenty of flotation with traditional camber in the rest of the ski ensuring a long effective edge and strong rebound for hard snow performance.
