Interesting and impressive lineup from Fischer. As long as they continue what they've been doing, Ranger 108 should actually be at least 110 on the bigger sizes. May have to give it a run for its money and see how it compares against the m-free 108; I kinda have a sneaking suspicion that it will rival itQuote:

interesting that the Atris is getting an update. Graphics are better for sure, but too bad they are still glossy - matte would have looked a lot better.

I am not sure what is going on here, but I like it. Crazy how far back the aero tip goes - hinge point?

Nordica doing Enforcer stuff

I dunno - they are not too bad from this angle.

It must be kinda hard to be Line post-Pollard.

Blizzards looking kinda nice. Going to space or what?

I see Black Ops 118 and 98 but not the tweener width...
As someone whose formative skiing years coincided with the rise of twin tips - with Line being a major part of that movement - it’s heartbreaking to see what K2 has done to that brand.Quote:

Count me in for the BC110. Curious about the new Atris. Demo'd the current ski and liked it.

Hopeless Sinner's pics from the demo showed the 102 getting spidey treatment for sure, Kendo too. Don't think he got the K108Quote:

Kid - not sure how I missed those photos. Thanks for clearing that up!Quote:

Still no pix of the Tecnica AT boot...
why are all the topsheets getting uglier
The rossi's are touring skis according to himQuote:

Sounds like Scarpa will have a line of alpine boots available this fall. Would love to see one model get tech fittings.
120mm last width Alpine boots?Quote:

My guess would be addition of the reinforcement of the lower shell, much like they did with this years hawx ultra 130sQuote:

Im more looking forward to the (presumed) fatter radius on the tips of the 3d. Would make turns even more versatile and reduce hookiness. The m6 was just as heavy as the m5, if not slightly more iirc, so it should stay just as meaty.Quote:

Amazed that Bode and Scarpa's new "4-Quattro" boots haven't appeared yet

As someone who owns a couple of Enforcers and MFree 108s I would have put them both in the same category…. The Enforcer is easy going but can still get after it so not sure what this lineup will bring….Quote:

Really curious what the Sidecut/radius tweaks are for the 184-cm model.

Is that a core construction sample of the new Unleashed line on the far left?
Attachment 400937
This looks cool with a lever walkmode instead of the crappy one they had on the last kore. Any details?
Attachment 400939
Imma go and call the 184 at 29/19/27 and 191 at 32/21/30. They appear to want their all mountain chargers to share the same center radii at each length. Making the ski wider 2/1mm tip/tail is the opposite of what they did on the m5->m6, wonder how that's going to influence the way it handles. They definitely took the sidecut update extremely conservative.Quote:
