you're right thats weird, maybe it's just the angle of the shot but they definitely looked like cap.
it makes sense though- why does his pro model ski need 2 layers of heavy ass edge armor when he's doing 34 foot quarter pipe nines and and other dumont-like stuff. his skis don't really need to be all that durable so i guess he's using last years?

Salomon needs to stop with this "promodel" bullshit. Just as last year, the dumonts are the same ski as the thrusters and the same size, just a different flex. They should actually let him do what he wants. Dumont hasn't been scene on his new dumonts much, i guess he doesn't like the construction of the ski.

To me it is an obvious answer.
It has nothing to do with Simon not believing in next years ski, it is more to do with the fact that he knows his old ski so well. It has been the same for the past two seasons so he knows it better than he knows this new ski that he may have ridden only a handful of times...
If I was boosting 34-36 foot out of a quarter I would want to know exactly how the ski under me is going to react to spinning/grabbing/landing.
It's the same with the JOSS, i would not want to hit a 35m stepdown (and kill it) along with the other features on a ski that i am still not 100% comfortable with...
Having ridden next years Dumont i know that it is a ski that absolutely kills it, with a much better flex pattern to it, compared to this years somewhat soggy tail.
Either way, whatever he was skiing on, he is absolutely owning that quarter pipe and i believe he was the best rider at JOSS, from the updates he was riding the hardest and riding the cleanest, he is on top of his game right now. Props
Maybe?
