If it wasnt for Mike freesking might not be where it is today! we might not even be on twin tips! Salomon should show some more love for him and give this legend of skiing a pro model. I dont really understand why they have never gave him one.

if I'm not mistaken he was the mastermind behind the original 1080, so that was his pro-model way back when

the 1080 and the gun were his babies so those are like his pro models.

Douglas rides every pow ski salomon makes in the testing stage and tells them what they should keep, scrap and change. You could say they're all his pro models, because woe betide Salo if they don't listen to Mike Douglas.

I heard Abma has a new backcountry pro model called the Shogun coming out. Who knows, Mike D might be next?
