those ones? I wanted to get a pair of those as my first set of skis but i ended up never being able to find any. I think they have one of the coolest graphics. other than that I can't really help, sorry.
 
that is not the answer that we're looking for,
look some milfs are older than the internet but that does not make them any less 'good' :) so these ski's maybe old but are they any good?
 
i had a pair but i took a tumble & 1 snaped just in front of the bindindg, got another pair on the insurance & the edge craked on a box
 
I have a friend that used to ski on these. They are quite soft and I believe they are a foam cored ski. He liked them and the durability was good.
 
I could be wrong, but i believe they have a wood core. foam core skis are extremely un-durable.
 
The suspects are wood core; before that salomon used what they called an isocell complex core which is a fancy word for foam core.
 
Up till the end of last season I was using these skis (bindings initially at factory and then re-mounted at center) and they were still going strong. No significant damage whatsoever. The topsheet scratches/chips a little bit, but not too much. But then again, I had never used them much for urban or too many rails (mostly just jumps, boxes and groomers).
I never really bothered to try many other park skis, so I can't give you that great of a comparison of its performance. I never really had any complaints with them.
I've finally bought a new pair of skis, so I'll be putting the thrusters through a bit more punishment now that they are my secondary pair.
Let me know if I can answer any other of your questions.
 
Yea, these were my first pair of skis. I would say they are decent, especially for just beginning. They lasted for me for two years before I got new skis, and I still kinda use them for summer and urban. It does have a foam core, which is said to deteriorate over the years, however they have held up pretty well for me. They are pretty stiff, but they do have quite a bit of pop. I've noticed though that the bases scratch pretty easily, and I had a little bit of edge ripped out, but thats probably cause I've used them for more then two years.
 
I had them for my first ski after snoboarding so i didnt know much but they were nice. they're just chillen in my basement size 151 if your friends interested
