Salomon making side walls skis

In all of the pictures of the new dumonts, suspects, and mia ties they look to be sidewall construction. I thought the whole reason behind the "spaceframe" and foam core strength came from the cap construction. So my question is then will these skis be wood cores then? and yes i know the dumonts are already

sidewall = wood. so  yes no more foam next years... they finally decided to make it happens, a bit late tho.

Another thing im super stoked on is the edge reenforcement, I love my dumonts but now the edge is ripping out and its nice that they have recognised the issue. It looks like its a new technique so we will see how it turns out

Yeah I'm really liking the suspects and what are the threats?  I haven't heard about them.  Anyone know how stiff the suspects are going to be?

Salomon really did a 180 away from the Spaceframe stuff, which was a good move since my 1080's were possibly the most chattery ski ever.

BAHHH a wood core foil would be my dream

Best dimensions ever (for east coast) except its also the most shakey ski ever.

Anyone know if they're keeping it but now with a wood core or if theyll have something like it?
