i havent really heard of what theyre like, i used the search bar but most of the threads are about the boots and so i got tired of clicking all of the threads and just decided to make one. the only thing ive heard about them is that theyre similar to the cr labs and really good for park and pipe and really light, but i think i saw pete olenick in war last year use his cr labs for bc so what is the spk really like?

i remember reading that they were the cr labs, just new topsheet, but dont ask me im not a doctor, as for using them in the BC, in [photo]play on almost all of the booters, exept for the ones into deep snow, alot of guys were using Urban triplets

they are good if u are light (b/c of the foam core). they will ski pow similar to how the CR's will, but by no means ideal. I'd keep em' in the park, because if ur a 1 ski quiver guy, you want to look somewhere else.

Yes, because we all use our eyes to judge the flex of a ski.

on the salomon website it says its similar to the thruster except flex and dimension are slightly different, if its stiffer than the thrusters then what ski is the stiffness similar to?

they also have less sidecut than the foils, especially thinner in the tips

I was talking to Jonny Shares and he said "they ARE" CR labs... Exactly the same skis, new topsheet.
