i have a pair of this years dumonts for sale. when i rode my buddy's they were super poppy. this years already have a full wood core and sandwich construction just means that the topsheet will chip easier....

Simon Dumont, is one of the greatest freestylers ever.  As for his skis, i have them, they are amazing.  flexible, light, sick graphics, got the S12 bindings on them. really, smooth, and easy to turn (Spin), all freestyle terrain ski; pipe, jumps n rails.  smooth landing with ski, even if you land unbalanced.  So the ski is amazing. The only thing is thta its a bit expensive.

If you're gonna get a great end of season deal on a pair go ahead and get this years. I fucking love mine, they are freaking awsome in park pipe, butter like toast and they even do work all around the mountain. I had mine on yesterday and was doing powder runs with them, they're a great ski and if you want to save money go ahead with this years. and mount em up with some sth 16's.

i like the 08s better than the 09s. didnt really care for the flex pattern, and they weigh a lot more and feel kinda snappy instead of the nice pop the current dumonts have
