here. the very first 1080 was the yellow Xscream (someone brought a MINT pair into the shop today, was amazed. they looked new) they came out as a pro deal 1998-99, and were publicly released the next season, 99-2000.

after that, the blue version came out in 00/01

finally, the last version of the origional ski, the "pro" models. jap guy, vinny, and JP. 01/02

next, they bumped up to the spaceframe construction. sizing went from 0range, silver, green blue, from longest to shortest. they made these from 02-04.

then we get into the winged S ones in 04/05. still same ski.

last season, we got the Foils, and the spaceframe 1080 remained as the thruster. this year, the model lineup is unchanged.

tada. there you go. the COMPLETE 1080 history. wheres my cookie?

oh, and if you wanna talk other skis in the line up,

the white and black 720s were introduced with the blue 1080.
the nest season, they were black with Red Swirl Ss. there was also a 540.

when they switched to spaceframe 1080s, the 7 was orange and yellow. im pretty sure they never made a 540 that year.
they also introduced the PR that year.

the first gen lab skis were introduced along side the second run of the colorcoded spaceframe ones.

i was at high north the summer of 2000 and all the pros were on a yellow and BROWN 1080. i know it was for sale to the public because they had it in the salomon store in whistler that suumer. i believe it was a spring 2000 release but the color was way ugly. they switched to the blue for the 00/01 season.

those are SUPER Rare. they made a very small amount of those. i saw them at an expo when they came out. id imagine like the first batch were like that, and then they switched back to the origional color scheme

My brother snapped one of his yellow 1080's in half and I have some old blue one laying around. We're thinking of mounting up a blue and yellow set.

02-03 pocket rocket rocket intro

03-04 Spaceframe 1080 (introduction?)

04-05 no change, tho the 720 becomes more like the 1080

05-06 foil introduced, gun lab introduced along with gun
