They look awesome. Have you seen the 540s they're black with a white salomon logo when you put them together. The 540s look cool but are for little kids.

The 720s look pretty smooth. They are a lot lighter then last years. This years 1080s are super sweet looking though, all of them, and they are super light.

What's the difference between the 720, 540, and 1080?

1080 is the best. 720 is a flimsyer ski (last years model) and the 540 is for young people who are light.

I believe the 1080 has a more expensive and better construction, which makes it stiffer too.

The 720 is really flimsy, looks pretty cheap.

The 540 looks reeeeally flimsy, but its not made for most of us on this board.

I think all of Salomons skis this years look good, the 1080s, 720, 540, crossmax, xscream pilot etc.

The 720s and 540s are fine skis, just for smaller people.

hey dont forget about the junpei endo pro models too.... but anyway this years models are like snowboarding models, diff designs for diff sizes. i see this as a good step cuase that means that we are becoming a lil bit bigger and they are making the effort to make more twin tips. and also those new snowboards/skis from burton thats also a step forward

i bet jp was just trying them out because there is no way that a pro would use the 720s.

well even if he was trying them out he was still 'using them'. so pros do use them.
