I'm not thrilled to see the continued trend of Boa either. On the boot scaffo maybe as I always buckle that loose and leave it for the day anyways and only adjust the buckles on the cuff if I'm touring or working.
Since this is the rumor thread my wife got some boot work done this fall and the boot fitter claimed the Scarpa's rep said they are releasing their long rumored 3 buckle NTN touring boot soon. I called BS. He said he'd seen pics and then pulled up Scrapa's site on his phone to show us

Nordica has a love affair with PU plastic and the previous hike boot, the Strider came in both PU and Grilamid versions, I imagine that’s why there are 2 130s.Comment

Not at all, I think both plastics have their uses. Sorry if it came off like that. I just think Nordica makes their belief in PU obvious.
I’m a huge fan of the Nordica infrared machine and their PU combination. If someone has a messed up ankle and I know it’s going to need a big punch, Nordica PU is my go to. Plus nothing grinds like PU.Comment

New Rustlers
Today Blizzard announced the latest generation of their freeride Rustler and Sheeva skis — check out our writeup for all the details.

You know, like that angry email you wrote to your boss or that late night “you up?” text. Once you Press Send, you’ve got to own it. Just like there’s no going back once you click your poles and drop into that spicy chute, a field of glory pow. That’s exactly what the newly redesigned Rustler and Sheeva are all about. These skis are built to pop, drop or float off anything and everything you throw their way. But more than anything, they’re about the feeling. That rush you get from laying down a sick turn, collecting face shots on the deepest day of the year, the YEWS and high fives from the crew after you’ve stomped a line. It’s about committing to that line – the lifestyle – pinning it to the floor mat from first chair to last call and never looking back. It’s a vibe that you just can’t quit, so whip up that out of office and PRESS SEND. #blizzardskis #livethemoment #PressSend".
a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

major travesty right there. That silly gas knob thing along with all those "grooves" on the sides (lingo might be wrong but you know what i'm talking about, those sweet sweet 36-gram savings) makes me want to stockpile on current hawx .
they have the backland which is in its own lane, laying hands on the poor hawx made no sense at all. Only justification i see is retail price increase so that the bullshit fReEToUr bandwagon can be rode all the way until the wheels fall off.Comment
