Q-88 Lux Ski - Women's

The Salomon Women's Q-88 Lux Ski looks sweet as pie but has a slightly spicy side hidden behind that sugar-plum face. With a moderate sidecut that includes Salomon's edgy underfoot Carve Zone, a mid-fat waist, and more versatility than the typical board, it will be your go-to for time on piste that's broken up by short adventures into the soft stuff. The Lux's lightweight semi-sandwich hybrid construction employs a lightweight cap in the tip and tail and powerful ABS sidewalls underfoot, which make it quick and playful in the trees and a willing carver on the groomers.

In boot-deep powder, the rockered tip and gently raised tail give the ski plenty of float and let you vary turn shapes at the drop of a hat, while the full wood core and underfoot camber give it edge-to-edge pop and power when things get firm. Salomon also incorporated its Hook Free Taper five-dimensional sidecut to give the Lux a predictable feel that won't hook up or lock you into a turn when you'd rather be scrubbing speed.
