"... shares the same construction style with the Rustler 10 and 11, but uses a longer metal laminate by about an inch on either end of the ski and also has a longer camber profile. As you move through the line (9, 10, 11) both the camber and metal laminate get shorter,which translates to better firm snow performance. "

How do you figure less metal, less camber, = better hard snow performance?

What construction will the FIS slaloms have? The carbon plate, carbon stringers or just titanal layers like now?

Sorry that last sentence is confusing, really I should have listed them 11, 10, 9 and said the camber and metal laminates get longer, which translates to better firm snow performance. In my head I just wanted to count in sequential order (9,10, 11). Narrower ski = longer camber, longer metal. Wider ski = shorter camber, shorter metal. I'll edit it.
