Dumonts for a softer ski.
Dogmas for a stiffer ski. plus they have the anti-abuse base.

I live on the east and I got the dogmas for next season, so I would go with those, but I hear the dumonts are fun too.

the dumonts are stiffer than antidogmas and punx as far as Im aware.

 The dumont from 06/07 and 07/08 are considerably softer.

 I demoed a 09/10 181 dumont and they defo werent soft (stiffer than ar6, pipecleaner, similar to extreme, maybe softer in the tail, but not as soft as the punx and I believe stiffer than antidogmas.

You could get suspects (same as dumont pretty much, sans 1/2 edge armour), for less

yeah, I would get the old Dumonts (the blue ones) if I went for them cause they are softer and don't have the edge armor problem.

But, I'm still gonna say the dogmas are the dopest on the list (and no, it has nothing to do with Wallisch, it's just a dope ski.)

punx are so underated and sick. They are the only symmetrical ski of the ones listed which makes them sicker in the park in my opinion. People just dont usually give them the best chance since they are Atomic and not some only park ski. Fact is atomic killed it with these skis. Check out what pros ride them too. Also, dumont didnt even ride his 08/09 skis this year most of the time. Only when he was in like a super public thing would he. So a pro not riding his own skis is wack. But I know punx are sick and thats what i would go with.
