Have anyone seen the next years boards, oh fuck yeah they look nice, and the funny thing is that the skis look really mellow.
And the even more funny thing is that the team wanted a clean ski therfore they made the boreing half ugly design.

And yet, there's still no wood in them. The foils are isocell compound core. Even the 1000$ MSRP guns are foam. Silly Salomon.

yup but it has some advantages with the isocell core, but still the durabillity seems low.

I heard on here that the Foils or guns were going to have a wood core sourouned by the isocell foam. Damn NS rumors is this not true??

Salomon should switch to wood its the only way to go. The Foam just cant take that much of a beating

i think they look better

Who doesn't like handicapped girls? I mean there is nothing like the feeling of a girl going into a siezure while she is riding you or when she makes those damn sexy groaning and gurggling noises before you even touch her.

I spoke to someone at GS in Whistler. They said that the Foils are foam but with a metal sheet under the cap.

I ibought id one skiis for 1000 and they look cool, handle great and a couple days agomy ski got caught inside a mogul, the whole front end of my ski was bent at a 90* angle, i was pissed of knowing my expensive skiis were ruined but to my surprise i pulled it out of the mogul and instantly it snapped back to regular form without a scratch, tell me that a salomon foam core would do the same??

No, there is no metal. The FOIL is:
Monocoque Lite Double Wall cap construction
Isocell Complex Core (no wood)
UHMW Polyethylene base (no graphite)
Squaretex layout on the topsheet

--------
Demo days allow all skiers to try different skis to find out which ones reward their brand of poor technique.
