I feel the same way about the QST 106. I got a pair super cheap off a demo rack. They are decent when it’s soft, not great in powder, and suck on hardpack on ice despite putting a super sharp 1/3 tune on them. I just use them as a coaching ski when I’m with the groms largely because they are easier to ski slower. My 15 yo feels the same way about them. However, he has a pair of Unleashed 108s that he really likes and they carve great on hardpack for him. I’d be tempted to try those out when I wear out my older Corvus’s.
