Likes: I have had these skis for about 6-7 years now and they are still in perfect condition. I ski as much as I possibly can (not necessarily in the greatest conditions either) and they have never given me a problem.

Likes: I have always felt that Salomon is the best boot making company around. They have a great supportive fit and comfortable design to give you response all day long. I picked up the 08 Salomon Special and instantly fell in love with it. I have noticed that Salomon makes some of the fastest boards in the market because their bases hold wax long and reduce static friction, and with ERA technology you have one board that can rip it everywhere, whether your going fast or slow. I never thought id like a Salomon board but once i ripped it on the Special i will never think that again. Durable, responsive, versatile, and very fast are terms i would correlate Salomon boards with.

Likes: What I most like about Salomon is their boots. They do fit a little on the narrow side, but it works great for me. I feel they are one of the elite boot companies in the industry. As for boards, their lineup is pretty consistent... they are ride very well. I personally think the Special is one of the top all-mountain snowboards in that price range and category. I would recommend checking out some Salomon gear this winter.

Likes: The first thing that comes to mind when I think about Salomon is comfort. There boots have one of the best fits out of any brand I've worn, there boards are smooth, predictable, and fast, and there bindings are responsive, light, and durable. Basically, a Salomon setup is going to be easy to ride which means that your day is that much more fun!

Dislikes: How long the gear lasts.. I feel bad replacing it cuz its still in good shape!
