Salomon's cores break down easily(for the most part), and Line.....well, their skis just kind of dissintegrate.

the invadder is the only ski line has been having trouble with and it's not good for cruising anyway... the rest of them are bomb proof

i would suggest the chronic, its solid and stiff enough to handle well outside the park

4Frnt STL (THIS YEAR ONLY) it has a full length maple core with aspen tips and tails making it stiffer so its plenty fun everywhere, especially in the park.

solomon sucks for a number of reasons, I'll start with the least important and work my way up.

Their graphics are lame and in no way cool.

They do not support the newschool riders or their walk of life nearly as much as armada, line, 4frnt, ninthward or even old school companies like k2.

The main reason they suck is because the foam core and stiffness makes them worse skis then all of the above mentioned brands.

Support rider owned companies because theyre making the sickest shit out there, but even if you want to feel assured that your skis have been made by a company with tradition choose k2 before rossi, dynastar or solomon.

what's with all the salomon hatred???? ^i'm not just singling you out, there are more. i've had salomon's for the past 6 years and they have been nothing but great. i ski alot, and i ski really hard, and i've never broken a salomon ski. they hold up wonderfully, they are super fast, very stiff (good for huge jumps and pipe), and i dig the graphics. you foam core haters, you need to wake up. foam core is no different than wood core. you guys are bsically talking yourselves into believing that salomon sucks.


k2 is pretty damn killer, but salomon is my fav.

If your looking for a good carving ski thats good in the park then get the line assassins from last year. To me, they carve better than my chronics.

Salomon: You're a nerd that skis 5 times a year with your parents, you bought the only twins your shitass shop carries because one of your cool friends has some old rossignol pow airs.

Armada: You're a badass, or you're a poser with too much money and a high speed internet connection and you spend all day on Newschoolers.

Line: You're an average skier, you're still core but not as core as if you bought 4frtn or Armada or some other "underground" overpriced ski company, with money you saved you can buy that sweet gorilla coat spyder makes.
