ok let one wigged out experience ruin it for you. try talking to them as a company. talk to campbell. or keep drinking your NS produced hateraid on ninthward. im like captain j crew/ classy ns/ lacoste, white bread indiana kid, so its not their image that attracts me obviously. its their company, which ive delt with, and their products. their well produced products. because vick flipped off the fans, will i not watch the atlanta falcons? no. letting their image/riders/whatever deter you isnt wise. they are a great company that deserves way more recognition than they are given because of the teen/pre-teen bandwagon jumpers and fill this site with threads about how they hate 9th. i like you, im not saying you are stupid or inferior, but really im just stating my opinion on 9th, and recommend you look past some of their less desirable characteristics and see what they do offer. give them a chance. they are the ugly puppy at the kennel, but you know that that little guy is really the best pick. (ok, close to the best pic)

I have smart ass
A local shop here agreed to carry their full line this year -skis and outerwear, a very large order. After 9th cancelled their clothes line and have still not been able to get their skis to the US (by December) no one at 9th can answer questions or return phone calls. This caused the shop to completely drop the line. Very Bad Business
So i will talk shit

4frnt, I've seen too many pairs fall apart. And besides, Sterbenz is a dick. I know I'll probably get tons of little COC kids claiming "omgzzz he was my coach, he is soooo cool" but he's not, he's a dick. I've had friends try to deal with him about numerous issues involving the skis and warranty issues and he's told each of 'em to fuck off.

I will never purchase Salomon Skis again due to there very poor customer service, along with an experience i had at the salomon store in Whistler.
For this reason I avoid there boots, and bindings as well.
The past 3 pairs of ski's i've bought have all been Dynastar with no complaints.

Volkl because they are way over priced in my opinion. the karmas and the Pes are virtually the same ski and the karmas are like 1 2 hundred more.

So much hate for Volkl, but why??? Perhaps it would be good if everyone would include the reason behind what they are saying.
I won't buy skis with a foam core, so that goes for most Salomons. At the same time, I love salomon boots because they fit my feet perfectly.

i can't really say b/c i haven't rode every ski that every company has to offer, but i can say that i'm not a fan of foam cores or feather light skis, so in that case salomon comes to mind, just a personal preference though...
