I've used both, and I really like em. Here is my personal rating(and again this is from a pretty high level expert skier who has ridden them both)

~~~1080~~~
Bigger Hits:A
Jibs/Rails:B+
Moguls:B-
Backcountry:A
Steeps(groomed):B

~~~1080 Mogul~~~
Bigger Hits:C
Jibs/Rails:A-
Moguls:A+++
Backcountry:F-
Steeps(groomed):B-


hopes this helps. I would def. get the regular 1080's, not the moguls. the reg. ones are so much more versitle.

why wouldnt you comprimise and try to find a pair of last years tens? kind of inbetween the 2 size wise. Just an idea.



well to keep it real I started being a Poser Poser. I dress and act like a poser, but i'm not really a poser. I just pose to look like a poser posing. you know just keepin it underground

sweet, it's sounding like the 1080s. although now that i've heard first hand acounts on the whole delam problem, im kinda unsure. is it worth it?

If you want a twin specifically for the park and bumps, get the 1080 Mogul, since that is what it was made for. There shouldn't even be a question there. You get a ski that is built for the task you want it to do. The best thing in your case would be to build up a ski quiver (since you seem to want task-specific skis). That is, get a mogul ski, get an all-mountain ski, and get a powder ski.

even IF they do delam, Salomon are real good with warrenties.

I think a pair of last years would be a real good solution. But I have this yeas 1080s and they are surprisingly nimble edge to edge for the waist size. I love them, they're so much fun.

yeah, i have all mountain skis and backcountry powder skis and shitty skis for jibbing, but im looking for something a little more nimble in the bumps and that will also perform well in the park. seeing as how park is the major priority i think ill go with the regular 1080s...

thanks for the advice!

Dude, if you want a park and bump ski, buy a park and bump ski (1080 Mogul, Pow'Air Mogul, Mad Trix Mogul).

that's an easy question. the originals. go with the 1080's not the mogul crap. if your not a mogul person don't get a ski that's for moguls

In the initial post, he said he wanted skis for the park and bumps - hence, he needs a mogul ski.
