[K_9]

What the diff for the 08 season?

 

[bemmis]

so this year's dumont and next years thrusters? or both next years?

 

[bemmis]

i know they have a wood/foam blend core

 

[K_9]

i wieght 120lbs,5'4,want a ski to play around on and not to stiff(on the soft side)

 

[bemmis]

well according to nomesteven the thrusters are super flexy, i would guess comparable to the fugative. i have dumonts and the fell about sot-mid flex, which feels very nice.

 

[K_9]

what other skis have the same flex as dumonts or thrusters?

 

[K_9]

any body?

 

[K_9]

bumps

 

[Ryanvdonk]

this past years dumont is the same as next years thruster, which is wood strip with foam, keeping the weight way down. nex years dumont is all wood. not sure what the flex is on next years dumont or if the thruster will be different from last seasons.

By no means are the thrusters a "noodle". T-halls are more "noodly" than the thrusters. I demoed the 171, and they were really light, quick, agile and fun. I was only like 5'6 and 130 pounds, and at that moment, if i were to buy them, i would have bought the 181 no doubt. such a light, fun ski, and by no means a noodle.

 

[lyndon]

yeah, the monkey ones. I liked them, and they were not nearly as soft as my t-halls

does salomon still use the foam core

 

[406]

yeah i was gonna say if they still use that foam core then that ski would def be a noodle

 

[406]

a strictly park ski with foam core.

 

[406]

a super stiff park ski, doesnt make sense

 

[406]

im sure kids do, i but i dont

 

[skiRay]

i think i would laike the dumonts better

 

[K_9]

im more all mt. skier than park and i like soft skis i want some thing not as soft as 05/06 lizzies

 

[bemmis]

next year's chronic might be good. or moment renos,

 

[K_9]

well all mt. by crusers and moguls and crons to stiff i cant get moments
