X SCREAM If you've been to a ski resort in the last five years, you've undoubtedly seen the Salomon X Scream ripping up the mountain. Immensely popular with a broad range of skier, the X Scream has become Salomon's all-time best seller, pushing the company to the forefront of the industry. Versatility is the cornerstone of the X Scream's stellar reputation. It's easy to turn and skis well in virtually every condition. Constructed with a titanium sheet that runs tip-to-tail, the X Scream is stiffer than other all-mountain skis, especially in the tail, springing you out of a turn and without as round a finish. It performs better in the bumps, too. For intermediate skiers itching to ski off-trail, the X Scream facilitates the transition from hardpack to crud and powder with friendly flotation. POCKET ROCKET The Salomon Pocket Rocket has made quite a name for itself among today's freeriders. The space-age graphics make you stop and gawk but its performance on the hill is what's most impressive. With tip-waist-tail measurements that dwarf traditional fat skis, and it's typical Salomon soft flex, this ski makes an incredible powder tool and excellent touring ski. Oh yeah, did we mention it has twin tips? AK ROCKET PILOT The AK Rocket Pilot is Salomon's new "big mountain rip machine" and their highest performance Pilot ski. During the last couple of years, the AK Rocket's availability has been restricted to a few select pros, but now Salomon has revamped the ski with Spaceframe technology, added the Pilot system, and distributed it more widely (though their numbers are still pretty limited). The AK Rocket Pilot is a beefy fat ski and comes in one size only, 195cm. Think of it as a GS powder ski. A few of this ski's strong suits include awesome stability and grip, powerful edge to edge maneuverability, and a brilliant float in the pow. It's definitely a ski more at home in open bowls than tight trees and couloirs, preferring to arc long turns at high speed. The Pilot system is a ski and binding sold together. In the case of the AK Rocket Pilot, it comes with an integrated S914 Fis binding. EQUIPE 10 3V The Salomon Equipe 10 3V is a slalom race ski to the core. This ski, popular with World Cup and Olympic skiers, has awesome edge grip and makes precise, short, slalom turns. Eastern skiers rave about the Equipe 10 3V commenting on its tendency to sink its teeth into icy snow and not let go. Salomon's Prolink Y + V technology controls the trajectory of shaped skis better by applying pressure closer to the edges, and it also reduces vibration with a central damping component. The addition of Metaltex also damps the ski for increased stability and smoother ski to snow contact. CROSSMAX 10 PILOT The Salomon Crossmax 10 Pilot is designed for advanced/expert skiers who love to carve up the hardpack. The Crossmax, in comparison to the Scream series, is still a forgiving, easy-to-turn ski, but with a quicker turn radius. Designed for precision carving, the Crossmax is a high performance, on-piste ski. Pilot technology is the icing on the cake. A Pilot setup is a ski and binding sold together, and this burgeoning trend in the ski industry was pioneered, in part, by Salomon. The binding is not mounted to the ski in the traditional way with screws and drill holes; rather, it is attached via axes through the sidewalls of the ski, just above the edge. This method reduces the so-called "dead spot" that results from mounting the binding directly to the top of the ski, inhibiting the ski's natural flex. Unencumbered, Pilot system skis perform better. Because the ski-binding connection is directly above the edge, shifting from edge to edge is quick and easy, and edge grip is nicely enhanced. SCREAM 10 PILOT The Salomon Scream 10 Pilot is designed for advanced/expert skiers who ski the entire mountain in all conditions. Scream series skis are easy to turn and ski well in virtually every type of snow. With Pilot technology, they're even better. A Pilot setup is a ski and binding sold together.

SCREAM 10 PILOT XTRA HOT The Salomon Scream 10 Pilot Xtra Hot with S914 binding fills a perfect gap between hardpack-oriented mid-fat and pure-powder fat skis. Narrow enough in the waist to rail the groomers and fat enough to float in deep powder and crud, the Scream 10 Pilot Xtra Hot offers one of the most versatile ski shapes we’ve ever seen. It shoots for that elusive target of a true all-mountain ski—and for mountains from powder-choked Alta and Jackson Hole to the ice-ridden East coast, the Xtra Hot hits that mark dead-on. The Scream 10 Pilot Xtra Hot now features Salomon’s Spaceframe construction, which stiffens the ski under the boot and reduces mass at the tip and tail. This dramatically reduces swing weight and livens up the ski. The Pilot system lets the S914 bindings flex freely across the surface of the ski, preventing a dead spot—the length of ski beneath the boot that can’t flex under a traditional binding setup. This free-flex combined with a generous sidecut means this plank can rip the corduroy as easily as it can power through 3-day-old, sun-baked crud. SCREAM 8 PILOT The Salomon Scream 8 Pilot w/ S810 Ti bindings brings all-mountain versatility for every day but the deepest of the deep to everyone from intermediates to lightweight experts. Let’s face it, as much as we’d love every day to be a day of snorkeling fresh powder, more often you’re ripping on skied-out hardpack. From slithering through the bumps to arcing big turns on creamy windbuff, the Scream 8 Pilot has the confidence to get you through any situation—and it’s still a capable mid-fat for light powder duty. The Scream 8 Pilot features Salomon’s Spaceframe construction, which stiffens the ski under the boot and reduces mass at the tip and tail. This dramatically reduces swing weight and livens up the ski. The Pilot system lets the S810 Ti bindings flex freely across the surface of the ski, preventing a dead spot—the length of ski beneath the boot that can’t flex under a traditional binding setup. This free-flex combined with a generous sidecut means this plank can rip the corduroy as easily as it can power your off-piste adventures. 1080 TWIN TIP The Salomon 1080 is the ultimate twin tip ski for the pipe and park. One of the first in existence, the 1080 revolutionized, if not established, the twin tip market. It excels outside the park and pipe, too, performing superbly on groomers, crud, and in powder making this ski a true newschool, all-mountain ski. Bottom Line: The ultimate park/pipe ski that doesn't limit you to just that venue. |
