Which Elan skis did I see?

[smmokan]

At Vail on Friday, I saw some Elan's that looked like they were about 110+ in the waist. I think they were light green in color, not twintips. Anyone know?

M 777?



the old M777 has no black on top, perhaps those were the ones you saw?

[smmokan]

Nah, they were more of a light, sage-ish green.

Were they swallowtails?

I was kindly asked to leave from the Elan booth at ISPO when I tried to take pics of their latest stuff being flexed and stuff. Good looking stuff though; stiff and fat. Probably what you saw was their next years top offering which did indeed look nice.

I only saw the fronts of the skis, and they were friggin huge. Everyone was staring at them in line back by Blue Sky. There was a guy and a girl both riding them, and I'd guess they were about 180's.

So it was not the swallowtail,m.1111 or what ever?
But something else,eh?

Wider?

[Telepath]

I don't remember what it was called, I was supposed to do a quick shot while the other guy was flexing (sounds like gay pron, maybe that's why we had to leave) so I didn't even get a close look at them. Don't recall any swallow though, but large indeed (though after playing with the new Big Daddies I wouldn't say "huge"). Was wider than any Elan ski I've seen so far is all I can say. Apparantly nice stiffness to it as well (according to the male model/flexer).

They are next years swallow tails. Not sure of the name. But look like they would be good while skiing behind a boat as well.

if it's a swallowtail it must be the 1111, which was posted on this board before. i doubt you could've confused the topsheets though! as you can see below, the 1111 is not exactly greenish. unless a managerial decision changed it after the marketing people sent off the PR shots? the plot thickens!

F2F, the only thing similar to what I saw on that ski was the script of the 'Elan'. Pretty cool looking ski.
