They look like Rocker 2s with the 1080 topsheets. Probably Salomons best graphic they’ve had since the 1080.

they aren't advertised in any catalogues so they may be 2020-21 skis

Yeah they're either a special limited-edition ski or 20/21. Nico's been skiing them for the past month or so. But no matter what, I'd be excited if Salomon finally decided to make some more freestyle skis. The Rocker2 100s were so fun.

Yeah, they do look pretty wide, but the rocker profile looks like it has more up-turn at the tips and tails, whereas the QST 118's rocker profile kinda just juts straight out and up, with little to no bend / curve at the ends (kinda similar to some of Surface's rocker profiles). QST 118 rocker pics for reference

Production for 19/20 is happening right now. Prototyping and testing for 20/21 as well. It takes a while for a big run of skis for a big company to get through a factory.
