Pontoons are really sloppy, not exactly what you want for stomping big cliffs to hardpack

pontoons straight up suck when not in deep pow.

comp skiing requires a good stiff traditional camber ski to truly make the course your bitch.

because sometimes people do silly things. Saw a number of guys out there with bents and jj's.

most likely, they're unsponsored and can't afford to have both a fun pow ski and a good comp ski. obviously the pow ski trumps a comp ski for importance to most individuals, which would then lead to them wearing bents in a big mountain comp.
