Okay, great story, my friends mom wouldn't let him buy the Jon's so he got his dad to get them for him instead. For the last few weeks he's managed to keep them away from her, but today she finally saw them and flipped a tit about it. Long story short, he's getting some new skis. Anyway, coming off of those skis do you think he should get the 08 Dumonts or the 09 THalls? What you think is most simillar would be nice as well.
