from what you have heard.... everyone says that how about u go out and try them... I own the new 1080 and their the sickest skis out their, their like unscratcable, perfect flex, pop is good, the Ti binding is insane... the ski is unbelievable... I tried the rossie scratches and i didnt like them as much as the new 1080's, if your talking about a ski that delaminates then ur talking about the scratch! not the 1080

the new 1080's are awesome, I'd reccomend them to anyone.

But they de-lammed on me on the first day and have continued to fall apart since.

Maybe I just got a bum pair

actually... the scratches and the public enemys are the sickest skis of the year. 1080s are ugly. The Ti bindings are money tho

Alright, coming from someone whos actually owned both models:

00-02 model- sweet ski for park, very light. On the groomers they rule, they carve sweet arcs very easily, great in the moguls too. Off piste they work but you can do better, too soft and skinny.

02-03 model- Sweet sweet ski, still light, but not as light as previous models. A little stiffer and fatter than last years model, so they actually ski off piste pretty well, just a little soft to contend with the bandit XX or something similar. Mine havent shown any signs of delaminating so far, after a heavy use for a week in Whistler.

i guess that there doing well, cause salomon is not changing them what so ever for next year. The Pocket rocket also stays the same.

FOR EVERYONE WHO SAYS 1080'S DELAMINATE:

GIVE ME PHOTO EVIDENCE.

I've had the new 1080's since the beggining of the year, and are the best ski i've had so far. Soft, fat and lightweight, and cut through almost any condition snow. I have yet to find a flaw. get em. ride em. love em.
