The original freeride skis
Advantages: Ease of turning, handling, style, following. Disadvantages: None I can think of.
...always try to get the Salomon X-Screams. They are incredibly easy to turn, have a nice carving action, and are probably one of the best skis around. They have a huge free-ride following, and are used by beginners and experts alike. They are the skis by which all others are judged. The newer X-screams have the Prolink arms 'to guarantee ski/snow contact'. Wether it actually works is another matter... but it sounds and looks cool!
So basically, these ...

The Greatest Skis in the World
Advantages: Fun, fun, fun Disadvantages: None
...In the 1999/2000 season, Salomon intrigued the ski market by introducing the first twin-tip ski for the consumer. A twin-tip ski is one that is raised at both the tip and the tail, allowing the skier to ski backwards as well as forwards. These skis heralded a revolution in the ski industry, which other ski manufacturers have joined. Despite the influx of twin-tip skis in the 2000/2001 season, the Salomon 1080s are seen by many people as being the ... ...like your sense of individuality, Salomon has the answer. This season they have been developing some limited edition designs and they are planning on carrying these on next season. If you have never tried these skis, try them. If you have already tried them, then you will most likely have already bought a pair. ...

SW 12 vs My Speed Wave 14 & this year experiences
Advantages: Huge and variable grip and cool graphics. Disadvantages: Not resistant to rocks and their abrasive personalities.
Wow, What a ski! I had the Speed Wave 12 last year and bought a 4 cm shorter SpeedWave 14 this year. This ski carves it up even dull ( now ) and keeps on the line I set without chatter. I especially like the softer flex in the bumps and the solid edge they give me when I trust them at my limit. I also like the variable turn radius, VERY cool for those easier last few runs of the day at speed.
I found the SW14 at 160cm and being 5'6" and 200lbs and ... ...to be fantastic ( I have demoed LOTS of hi-end skis lately ) . I would not hesitate to recommend this to any advanced skier who likes to carve hard and wants to carve harder and feel the thrill of solid and reliable grip in all conditions.
I do like the graphics ( and so do all of the kids ) and I find the scratch resistant top sheet better than last year. I wish all skis had a harder base when skiing rocks. I do wish the Fusion binding was a bit ...

A real nice all mountain ski
Advantages: Price, responsive and stable Disadvantages: Not a ski for extremely high speed
Just spent a day at Killington on my CMX Pro's. I was skiing the whole Mtn with friends and was very pleased with the snappy response of these boards. THey carved very nicely and were responsive on quick turns. Edge hold was very good on steeps and in icey areas. THis isn't a GS or racing ski, but for the advanced intermediate or low-level expert, a REAL nice board.
I should say that price was my main issue here. These were the 2007 (last yrs) model ...
