Yeah I just saw that the CR and probably the Candide are retailing for $1,000. That's so rediculus just because they have the race base so you can go faster they are all most twice what the normal 1080s are. Granted the base is really sweet, Peter was hauling ass passed me at Hood in June and I had a fresh wax job on my skis. But Jesus that's a lot for a little extra speed.

Yeah I'm sure they will sell for more like $700. I just think the price of skis is getting out of control. Think about it newschool skis are market at us kids. And we have about the least disposable income out of just about any age bracket yet the skis they want us to buy are the most expensive. Thank God I've never paid full price for skis. I've pro ordered ever pair of skis I've ever bought I can't imagine paying retail.

Dude, those are Pro Lab, they are different than the regular CR pros because they have race bases and wood core. Welcome to salomon, you could buy a different ski with wood in them from a diff company and they'd be 500 or you could buy salomons and pay twice as much.

the cr's and candides are both out of the s lab, they are not wood core, they are the same construction they use on their race skis, which is a modified spaceframe/laminate combination, but still not wood core

I though all the pro labs had wood in them...oh well, maybe next season. Good luck Salomon, you'll figure it out sooner or later.

Yeah Salomon uses a foam core in all of their skis. It is actually one of the most duarble cores on the market, even better than a lot of wood cores. With their construction they almost don't need a core. Our rep showed us a cool demonstration of standing on top of just the top layer of their skis, can't remember what it's called. But it supported his wieight.

^ Cardboard will support your weight if you shape it properly. It doesn't mean you should make skis out of cardboard, now does it?

At least K2 has the right idea with the price of the Public Enemies and Fujatives.

monocoque, or a load bearing cap. they way they design their skis, you could fill them with jello, and theoretically they would ski the same

That 'race base' you speak of is really nothing special. Im sure that slam-on is just putting a decent base on the 1080, they save the good bases for the race sticks.

[ Slug ]

You look like you were built for me; You talk like you want to steal my drink
You kiss like you already came; And that's a lift to pull a line for those with out any game

It's like damn baby; You know you can't save me
But you should still tell your people that your leaving with the band; Maybe you can show me your hustle
Neither one of us would be so lonely; If only you would come over here and hold me
I caught you trying to hide your smile behind your glass; But all of your secrets become a swing set when you laugh
And all of your regrets that you're carrying a burying; Don't mean a damn thing if there's nobody to share them with

We've been following each other all night now; We ought to be all over each other like right now
I don't like crowds lets take flight now; Cause that face that you make
Reminds me of my life now.

Vtskier I was actually really impressed with those bases. I skied with Peter O at Hood and even at the end of the day when the snow was super mushy he was still flying on those skis. His friend Andrew and I could never keep up.

the one problem with race bases is that they are very high maintainance. If you aren't carefull, they'll dry our like a motherfuck and you'll heve to get them stone ground

And a race base is more easily damaged when it makes contact with things other than snow, like, say, rails. Not to mention that repairs can get to be more involved. But who slides rails, right?

Yeah with race bases you have to wax them like everytime you ride. I do that anyway but it would suck for people who don't have access to that stuff all the time. But I'd heard they were actually harder than normal bases. Not sure though.

Salomon still sucks. They may have a sweet topsheet, but it doesnt do shit when they delam like they are bound to do. And those reps are just filling your head with ideas. I know cause i work at a shop. Salomon still overprices the hell outta everything and doesnt back their product at all. Salomon doesnt give a shit about freeride. as long as their 6 billion employees are making skis, they are happy. Buy from a core company because the newschool companies have many nice pipe skis.

Race base doesn't need to be wax each time you use them and no, it's not more easily damaged on rails... it is a better quality base.. faster, more durable...
