foils are wider, more stable, and far better for all mountain performance. they are for sure a better ski. i think they're better for park as well.

I have thrusters and I like them alot, a year ago, the salamon team all skied thrusters over foils because they were better... but for park, it depends what your using them for.

Foils are an all mountain ski, but still perform solidly in the park, Thrusters are a more park specific ski and aren't as wide or stiff

thrusters if u do like 70% park or more and not much pow in the other 30% foils would be more 50-50

Alittle off topic but i dont think ive ever seen a Salomon Team rider ever ride foils. They all ride thrusters dumonts or Guns for Pow. There is a salomon B team rider at my hill and all he skis are Dumonts and Thrusters.

fail.

charles gagnier won x-games 2 years ago on foils...
Simon Dumont in teddybear crisis
mike wilson has a few shots in the hit list before he moved to lib tech

i own foils..they're amazing, buy them , so stable, just the right width for all mountain, and not too soft, not to stiff, they're a perfect ski
