Just like how Nick went on to join Icelantic. Solomon goofed by dumping the majority of their team and thus leaving ONLY Noah Bowman, AJ Kemppainen, Vincent Gagnier, Woodsy, and Bobby Brown on their park team (this is only from the Salomon freeski website). They basically dumped off people like Herman, Turski, B-Paul, Dumont, etc. within the past few years. Not only that, but they've been focusing more on big mountain/backcountry gear than on their park and pipe skis, which have been getting crappier after 2011.
Also, they've kept people like Mike Douglas, Cody Townsend, Henrik Windstedt, and others so they can make more and more powder skis. Although, I've had a good experience with Salomon's bindings and boots tho, but have been lacking bindings that have lacked a release system like the release system on the FKS's and the Look Pivot's. Also, Salomon decided to make a comeback to racing within the past winter or two.
It seems to me that Salomon wants only people that can huck the biggest tricks and do future spinz.
TL;DR: Screw you, read it, you lazy bum.
