Salomon randonee/off-piste skis for 2005?
Has Salomon abandoned the BC/randonee market? Neither Backcountry nor
Couloir mention Salomon skis in their review issues, and the Salomon website only talks about freeriding. If so, too bad--the X-Mountain was a great ski, and even the 1080 was pretty sweet. Now there are four 1080 models... I wish I hadn't given my X-Mountains to my son. Peter K |

The skis you mention where largely marketed for the regular alpine crowd, but there have been many skis that have crossed the rather artificial line between beefy Randonee and ungroomed resort skiing. _ BTW, has did you notice the Dynafit Randonne racing boot, nearly indistinguishable from an XC skating boot. _ Booker C.
