I am not sure that this should have been posted, but oh well.
They are left over from there demo fleet, when they issuded all the reps the 171 last year in Jan/Feb they were green. Not sure why, I think they were havig issues on what colour to use, but on all the hill demos and the trade shows they were all that colour.

its simply because last year, the mold of the 161 wasnt ready, so they didnt produced the ski, they put the green cosmetic on 171 skis to show what they would look like. They were only samples, and 3-4 pairs were available in us, and 2 pairs in canada.
On Hookup, its probably just a mistake of picture..

in the beginning of candide's segment in Happy Dayz he's carrying a pair of the fizz teneighties, but they look longer than 160. maybe he had what you're talkin about.

The fizz is way better looking than the silver

not here in cali all the demo pairs that the reps got and stuff and even demos for shops were the white/silver not the green at least in the 171.
I did hear about that but i guess they fixed the prob or discrepency beforew they shipped to there cali people.

1080's are good skis, they are just soo popular. It's like tiger woods. I hate tiger woods because every time I wanna watch some golf his ass is on tv and I can't see how everyone else is doing. Makes me mad.
Same thing with the 1080. So many people have them and they've been around for like 8 years. People are starting to get sick of them.
That's why people thing they break a lot....soo many pairs, some are bound to break.

If you asked me a week ago I would have said that I would never get 1080's. My friend has them and I had lines and we always had these debates about which is better and i was always like 'line is hardcore and true to the sport and the owner of the company slides rails and solomon is a big corporate monster and they just make twin tips to make money and not to make the sport better' and I was all gun hoe to go get new skogans or maybe PE's. but then I went to my shop. me and my friend got our skis at the same time. he has 1080's and I have darksides. my darksides are beat to shit and shouldn't be skiied on any more and his are still in prime shape. and we ski the same way and always ski together. I hate to say it bu salomon does make good skis. also I went to my shop and they had the fizz 171 1080's and s912 binding's for $550 CDN and the lines were like $600 for just the skis. So I guess I sold out and got 1080's. but I don't care. I got good skis and I'm still going to be out skiding rails and doing crazy shit on them. who cares what the owner of the company's plan is to evolve skiing. I got good skis and I have money left over so that I can afford to ski. so what is the point of this post? I have no idea. that was my rant of the day. don't smoke crack. unless it'll get you laid. sex comes first. over and out.
