Van,
Currently I am skiing salomans as well, (SCREAMs). They are 2 years old, this will be thier 3rd season. Last season I test skied a pair of volkls, after taking a lesson in stowe and the instructor had them, he was an amazing skiier. I can keep up with most anyone but this guy was something to behold, and in complete control on the most severe slick slopes. I had to throttle way back, which is rare for me.
I later test skiied them when I saw them in the pro shop a couple days later. They were really sweet. Softer and wider with more shape then my salomons and didn't require nearly the effort to change direction. It was like they are majic and could read you mind. These were their newest models. I think skiis have changed a lot since 1999 believe it or not. Sort if like ties, the width keeps changing.
Anyway I will probably keep my salmons till the end of the season and by this years volkls on my last trip of the season. When it comes to skiis I always buy a new pair every every few years and just tradin mine for some lame discount off the newones.
