new bindings -- why Ti?
I just bought some new bindings to go with the new skis. I noticed that
each Salomon set came in either Ti or non-Ti options. I ended up buying the Ti for no good reason. My question is, what does Titanium do for a ski binding, if anything? -- monique My pointless ramblings: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/phorum/index.php?f=6 |

For the record, Salomon has to have one of the most annoying websites in the entire ski industry. What's wrong with a simple datasheet? I don't need a multimedia extravaganza to look at binding specs!! I didn't realize they were replacing plastic with Ti. I was thinking just the metal parts. Thanks for the quick response =) -- monique My pointless ramblings: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/phorum/index.php?f=6 |

There are a few competitors in the outdoor industry for most overdone website. I have a good DSL connection, and when a sight takes 30 seconds to pop of on my systems, I would guess that anyone using a dial-up connection is long gone before they see anything. Websites can be artisitc, as long as they have a Joe Friday option.
