The guy from my ski shop said they aren't making a 2011 dumount pro model. Anyone else herd this? It would be a shame because that was a decent ski.

yeah his pro model is being replaced by the "Pro Pipe" which is designed just for the pipe. i guess its going to be similar to the dumont

It's SUPER stiff though...like CRAZY stiff, stiffer than Chronics BY FAR.Definitely for pipe only unless you like a really, really stiff ski.

The real question is whether it, or the rest of the skis have edge armor or not.

They should definitely keep the edge armor since it's such a successful technology.

the pro pipe is like riding a 2x4 (stiffness wise) compared to the suspect, i already rode both of them and the new suspects are so nice
