"Cruise" is what they are calling it. I want to know the weight and the mount pattern. I assume they will use the Alpinist toe but hope they use either the KP or Alpinist heel mount pattern. Looks like it has a lot more bsl adjustment than alpinist as well.Quote:

Two heel risers, independently adjustable vertical and horizontal release, and fast switching of the 180 degree uphill heel rotator make it easy to transition and set the bindings to your need.”
Anybody know anything about the new Nordica Unlimited? boot? Looks like a full grilamid 130 and a PU 50/50 type. Thinking it might be a possible replacement for my XTD's in the 50/50 role.
It’s called the cruise, i believe it’s going to be full adjustable release, lateral and vertical. I think it’s also going to come in a 9 and a 12. No sure about pricing thoughQuote:

Saw some prototype K2 pow sticks in the alpental lines today. Took a couple snaps but the homies asked me not to post, my guess is they may or may not see the light in 2024. Seems exciting. K2 is making a comeback.
So post them

If they didn't name that model the "Huge Floppy Donkey Dick" they really missed an opportunity.

Hmmm, wonder what the suits at K2 think about them rolling with pivots on their shiny new protos?
Instead of K2's extensive line of ski bindings?Quote:

Elan had some new Wingman skis- The Elan Wingman Black Edition with a few rods carbonite rods up through them. Hopped on the Wingman 86 (under foot) in a 178 cm ski with a radius of 16.5. So dimensions are 130-86-115 and they were a fun ski. It was a soft snow day on the local hill. Attachment 450982

Pretty sure that's the Reckoner 122https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ea77ef42f4.jpgQuote:

The Atomic Backland XTD is the big one, there will be a stiffer version of the Fischer Transalp, the Scarpa F1 XT will be available in the US I think, Dynafit Tigard is heavier. Anything else?
