Salomon are changings things up a bit at the moment, but next years line of skis is looking like one of the best for a while. Salomon will have some good things to come over the next few pre olympic years.

they're sales are down and the salary'es of the skiers have gone down, they don't make that much, so most of them got a few offers and took it. It makes sense because Simon going with head, Head is HUGE in racing ( I Race and Freestyle) and look how much money Jon Olsson makes! they dude's got a LAMBO AND HE'S A SKIER.

Jon's parents are also mad rich and I think own part of a really high class clothing company, also Jon is in part ownership in lots of other companies. But I guess he probably does make quite a bit from Red Bull, Head and Yniq his goggle company.

I talked to my dad's friend who owned a ski shop (all twin tips, jiberish, oakley, freeski stuff) and I asked him about why all the salomon athletes are leaving and he said basically said what i said about them.

Hope Salomon goes down the shitter after they dropped Dudemont, that was very uncalled for.

You sir are a fucking moron, and I would love to take a piss on you.
Please go inside nearest closet and hang yourself.

And for the rest of you, Jon Olsson comes from a small town and a working class family.

I honestly don't understand what is going on with Salomon right now. They had probably the best team in the game and it appears to be disintegrating. Now I'm hearing a lot of poor boyz athletes are joining up with other film companies? I'm wondering if that has anything to do with the fact that Salomon is apparently pulling out of the freeski game, and they are such a big sponsor of PBP. Maybe I'm being stupid now but still Salomon needs to get its shit together.

Discontinue their freestyle line? They don't even make race skis at all anymore. If they did that they would sell snowboards, XC skis, and groomed skis...... Yeah right

Are you kidding me? They made race skis for years... hell Salomon even sponsored a Ski Cross tour. Half the Canadian alpine team used to be on Salomon.
