yeah, every person i know with suspects has bits of edges missing, even the few i know that have next seasons suspects, the edge armour is bullshit.

the dumonts are bound to be a bit better

My guess is the new N the Knight is their price point ski. If you click on the ski on the salomon website it zooms in showing the dimensions.

122-85-112 in a 171

Must not be woodcore or sidewall either as its a moocoque (cap) ski.

Sounds like the old salomon foil in different sizes.

Well I had heard what people are saying of no change at all on here- so I asked Cody when I was at Hood and he said there was a chance they did a last minute change(something about taking out edge armour I guess) for the US run for 2010.  Not sure though, but if you call salomon they will tell you.  They won't answer emails so you have to call, but they are helpfull then.

Think about it this way. You are salomon. You just tried wood cores and edge armor this year and it failed miserably. Most of the freestyle skiing community s you. Are you just going to make the ski the same way and let it break again? NO!!! that's how you go out of business.

So in conclusion I say that Salomon isn't just going to make crap skis again. They will definitely at least work on making a better product just like any other business. REGARDLESS... I will probably never buy their skis again because my Threats broke last year.

salomon changed factories and are using new materials, so they should be much better.
