What skis was Dumont riding in the pipe at the second stop of the Dew Tour?
Are they his next pro model?

Well they are not all Black, and look like a different base from other Salomon models.... so maybe it's next years ski?
Take a look at these pics from Freeskier. The ski looks like it is cap construction, just like his older pro model.

The ski's he is holding in the pic above, are not the skis he rode. The skis he rode had a set of black STH's on them, leading me to believe they were wider, they looked wide to me at least. And they had salomon on the bases in red and black graffiti writing, same writing that was on the topsheet of the 07-08 foil.

I think his pro ski next year is going to gain some width. It seems like the cool thing to do these days, fat ski's in the park and pipe

They do look fairly similar to the Salomon Lords, which arent that wide really. Im not sayin they are, but if riders like Garrett Russell are bringing the pow skis into the park then why not into the pipe.

The skis you see Simon on our are next years Dumont skis. Yes the topsheet is different than last but no they are not the foils a all for the record.

Hope this helps anybody who wanted to know.

Cheers,
