And in a very blunt way he responds "I totally agree, they were. You see, this year Salomon had three waves of ski making, and the second was not until after December. So being a brand new ski, there are bound to be deffects, and who ever purchased the skis before December, definitley got the wave were the likely hood for defects was very high. After we started getting the skis by the dozen for manufacturing defects, we chaned around the ski a lot so whoever bought the skis after December, the chance for defects was much lower. Even the pros had a lot of the this skis break on them due to these defects. Next year, after a lot of work i think we have all of those bugs worked out."
the easiest thing for me to compare this to is ipods. When the first video came out, i bought one and it broke randomyl four times, until about a year later the worked fine. Whenever they make a new ipod, I hear people say wait a while to get it, because being a new product, they will have a lot of bugs and defects.
So do not be worried to buy one of the two best park and pipe skis out there, becuase they have worked the problems, do not bash them with out facts, and if they do somehow break, which I am confident some will, if you are smart they will warranty them for you.
sparknotes: salomon worked out manufaturing defects, buy their skis!
