146-108-129? Da fuck?
Whatever happened to 140-110-130. Little taper. Little rocker. Some camber. Not too stuff, but not to soft. No metal so not too heavy. True 185. Why is this so hard?
108 Dynastar sounds like it might come close tho.

You could say it represents a shift in thinking.Quote:

Little bummed about the weight on the shift boots... essentially 1.7kg in most sizes. Seems heavy compared to the Atomic Hawx XTD.... but I guess that likely matches the shift binding pretty well in terms of intentions.

I really want to try that Dalbello Asolo. Curious to see how stiff the flex is. I recently carpet flexed an Air 130 and while it was soft off the top it ramped up to pretty fucking stiff. If it fit my foot at all I could definitely ski that thing.
Any changes to the SMax’s?
I seem to remember that Federico of TLT5/Vulcan is now at Dalbello. Can anyone confirm/deny that? That Dalbello Asolo seems TLT like in some ways.
God, they're ugly AF!Quote:

Don't get this boot at all.

That's a shame about the Mountain Lab not changing shape. Terrible fit for most people. Also, the S/Pro last that they are using for the Shift boot is garbage too. Very wide midfoot and tight toe box.
Also, the carbon stiffener under the 2nd buckle makes large fit mods impossible as they crack and separate.
Didn't check on any of the other boots (e.g. s max), only looked at the new stuff. I'm with Golden on the Mtn Lab, not really shaped for the human foot. If the inside of that boot was shaped something like a Lange RX it would still be a killer, relevant boot.
Any word from Volkl on pow skis? Heard they might be bringing the Shiro back, but maybe with some tweaks, keep the perfect tail but taper the tips a bit? Like a 116-119mm wide Revolt 122?

Federico Sbrissa is now at Tecnica, but works primarily on hiking boots.Quote:

MTN Lab replacement for the following season.
New metal series from Salomon as well to compete with Mantra, 102 is the widest, can’t remember other two.
QST 112 (freestyle) keeps getting pushed back, was supposed to be released around now but rep doesn’t know now when it’s coming.

One size is the 96. Can't remember if the next size down is a 90 or 92. Also an 88 that I skied on but I think that's going to be marketed as a women's ski. Great for east coast skiing, had a lot of fun on the hard pack a couple of weeks ago. First ski that felt as good as the old 92 mantras I loved to ski.Quote:

Any cool new stuff coming out from line?

Is it just the pics or is the new Salomon boot really upright and the new Atomic nice and ramped forward? They both look nice, but I can't do that old school turned new school upright shit. I guess I'm middle school?
Wonder what the weight on the new Hawx Prime XTD is. I love my XTD 130's with Tour Wrap's, but as a bigger dude that is skiing more resort than touring lately I wouldn't mind a 1700ish weight with more material. Digging the look of the Shift boot, haven't had a Salomon boot on my foot since the 90's though.
Any detail on the new Gotama?
You talking about all the new aliens that dropped last season?Quote:

Very first glace:

-Same walk mode lever (but not the all in one action as the RS)
-Cuff is a "beefier" version of the RS (external skeleton reinforcement look)
-F1 strap and a wimpy looking "power strap"
That Avametrix AvyScanner Avalanche Predictor device though :eek:... not sure what to think about that. Hopefully it's overly conservative and scares people out of the BC :FIREdevil...along with saving lives:o
Also again OR is giving out awards for "innovation" on stuff that's either been done before or is just a small step forward. Don't let anyone tell you that $ can't get you an ISPO or OR award.
Well, it's blue. So that's got to be better.Quote:
