What is the QST Film Tour?
The QST Film Tour is a film tour planned and run by Salomon athletes and ambassadors to promote the development and growth of the freeskiing community, taking place mainly in France, where Salomon was founded, and North America, which has been a leader in the freeskiing scene since the late 1990s. In 2023, 16 performances were held across the United States and Canada, and five in France, with approximately 9,000 skiers participating. In 2024, the tour is scheduled to take place in 20 cities in seven countries, including Japan, from September to November
