Ever heard of the Salomon Siam Sinsations?

I came across these, and they seem to have the same specs as the Crystal/Ambers for this year (hi everyone, new here, btw!), but I can't find anything beyond that . . . even google was clueless.

Has anyone ever heard of these? Were they Salomon's ultra-beginner ski a few seasons ago or something? I'm tempted to do an impulse buy since I was looking at getting the Crystals for my daughter and if they're the same, but less expensive...and much prettier, in my opinion.

Siam skis came with numbers, like Siam 4 to Siam 10. These must be "deck skis". I still have last years catalogue for Salomon and they are not listed. Deck skis are made for a box store to some specification that is similar to the Siam models, but not the same. Siam 4 was the "beginner" model of the ladies Siam series. I actually skied the 5 and thought it wasn't a bad ski at all.

I have the Siam 5s and I love 'em. Good beginner to intermediate ski. When I bought them I'd been skiing rental Salomon X-Wing 400s (unisex) and the shop guy talked me into the 5 instead of the 4. Wonderful little ski.
