I'm not trying to be mean but i think i could've made their graphics in ART on windows 98. Why do there graphics get worse and worse?

Word up man. Salomon graphics are sub-par compared to the progressive stuff companies like Armada and Line are doing. I mean everybody likess different things, but it just seems like they aren't trying to develop them. Also, Atomic and Head need to hire somebody to at least try to put something steezy on their skis

The reason that Solly graphics arent too crazy or progressive as others is that they appeal to a different demographic. Of course they try to get the youth and stuff but they also try to attract older skiers and try to intorduce them to new types of skis. Also Solly has a big rep, theyve been around for a long time and theyre kinda seen as being very professional so they try to make sleek and simple designs to not lose any of their customers who might see them as being to crazy or radical where as companies like K2, Armada, Line and other younger companies are pushing the limits, appealing to youth and to people who want a stand out ski.

salomon graphics are sick. they obviously aren't the same style as the sketch-book k2's, but they are sick none the less.

I personally love the salamon graphics for this year. but then again I've always prefered plainish yet cool looking graphics so they fit me fine. I much prefer them over the mass of combined colors and pictures of the Invader or Ar5

You guys shouldnt care about the graphics of a ski. Think if you took a saloman ski and put invader or armada graphics on it does it make it ski better? And think if you paint armadas plain black does it make it a worse ski? No it doesnt. So all you should be thinking about is how the skis ski. Not how they look.

I like the graphics on the new Salomons, but then again I like the topsheet of the Burton Dominator and those plain white Thalls.

I like them, simple and clean instead of scratchy sketches that somebody scribled out. It's definetly about demographics though, I've seen plenty of grandparents on pocket rockets and non on seth pistols. And for those of us in our 20's, guns, skulls and crazy colors aren't that appealing.

I think the gun labs are the best looking sticks out right now.

I know its not that important what the ski looks like it just seems with all of the money saloman has they could invest more money into the different graphics of the ski, like some for the older market and some for the new school market. Almost like different faces for the same ski. Don't get me wrong, saloman makes a good ski.
