New Scarpa Maestrale XT- looks to be more of a resort/ side country boot (replace freedom??)
Attachment 265157
It does replace the freedom.
I've heard that orange is the new black.Quote:

...and yellow.
OK, here's some new stuff hot off the press....Atomic is bringing out a line of straight skis and rear entry boots. Whooda thunk?
Well I’m sure all of 5 people on TGR will care but Sportiva is coming out with a new skimo race boot at ISPO. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsyUlAbH...d=rqc7me4jtevl
And those new Atomic Backlands boots look sick.

All from the Evo link (i have been waiting a few days for them to update the page) but hm, did Völkl kill off the BMT line? If so that is a shame. BMTs are not depicted on Evo at least, nor is any successor other than current touring skis. Late release or axed?

The subtle tweak to add a tree line / mountain range to Rossi S7skis really make them look a whole lot better imo.
I really like the simplification of the Eric Pollard line - makes sense!
Icelantic graphics are better than some years past imo - well done!

Odd that Dynafit still has not come up with a successor to their old Beast, to take the fight to Tectons and Shifts (and Kingpins).
I really like Armada's new ARV graphics!

and agreed, Backlands look super promising, XTDs does as well.
My question is how is look making the p18s gripwalk compatible? Just a new afd hopefully like what they did with the wtr

Yes, they will be GW compatible.Quote:

Was just looking at the 19/20 catalog yesterday, BMT's remain except the 122. Too bad, the 122 is a kick ass ski and pretty much perfect for Japan, etc.Quote:

Well, I found my boots for next year!

Ah - good to hear. Do you have a link or did you look at it in person? Agreed about the 122s though. I even have a spare pair in 176. Guess I should try to buy some in 186 to try before they go extinct. I really, really enjoy my pair.Quote:

Don't know my FKS/Pivot history too well but how far back does AFD swapping extend?
Kid-K,
Saw it in the 19/20 dealer catalog - no 122's. The 109's and 90's get topsheets much like the Katana and V-Werks Mantra. PM sent on 122's in 186
Wow! Atomic's post-war, Soviet, industrial color scheme is inspired. Would you call that color puce? Or just puke for short?
On a related note, anybody got specs for the Backland Carbon boot? Could be interested

Geezus. As a retailer I wish ski companies would stop hiring fashion industry "designers" to do their top sheets. Come on Volkl, leopard skin? Black and grey boots that all look like rental boots, fuck.
That rear entry Atomic is an abomination. The Dynastar Menace is cool but it starts at 169 so not short enough for good small women and teens and the longest length is too short for rippers, fuck.
Except the Proto's available in two lengths both of which are too long for the dentists around here.Quote:

169, 175, 181, 187 lengths 132,98,120Quote:

Those molds definitely do not owe the company any money.
My thoughts on the shortest lengths still stand though, need at least a 15x and a 19x to compete with other brands.
Bummer it ain't wider.
Really need a mid-100 offering to complement the Pro-To and compete with the Blizzard, Nordica, Atomic, Rossignol, etc. offerings.
187 length ain't bad, but not really wide enough for an all-mountain ski IMO.
This actually makes sense. Pretty limited usage case to make a full run of skisQuote:

when we are on the topic of Looks - it is a sponsored ad on Skipass, but still kinda interesting wrt the photos and the read: http://www.skipass.com/news/175686-l...in-france.html
What to do when you've got just one shape (W112) that lots of people (including myself) love? Produce a slightly fatter version, a straighter version, a narrower version, and a cheaper version. Not seeing much innovation from DPS. Where are the boots?Quote:

More info on mindbender from K2 on Gear 30.
I am intrigued, but did I hear this right they are looking to add stiffness to their skis with that fancy new sidewall they are adding to their skis? Seems silly if you have a sheet of titanal why do you need more stiffness from your sidewall? Is that what got Solly in trouble in prior years QST?

If anyone can get ahold of some of the P18 GripWalk AFDs early -- I'll take two :)
Or if anyone finds out the part number from Look/Rossi.Quote:

Didn’t listen to the podcast but the sidewalls on the good race skis are quite different than what you would find on any ski in a store.Quote:

Anyone hear of a ProMachine version of Strider coming? ProMachine fit me great.

Its not necessarily the last thats the issue, it just has a massive ankle pocket combined with almost no heel hold. For me, and everyone I know who skis hard who tried it, its a horrible boot, I’m sure it fits some people well.
