Wonder what the ramp angle is and if they’ll be available in 2018 fall. And if the 2 spring toe is a POS or if it’s kingpin decent.

Actually think that's the most interesting/ innovative thing in that catalogue...but once shift comes out.... Also the P49 ridiculous ski run binding, not for everyone but interesting to see how far the ski runners take weight reduction.

Ya it seems like that rare product that is engineered for old standards and to be combined with another companies products. Don’t often see that from a relatively big market brand. Pic shows it with a trad Solomon toe piece. I’m guessing that’s the hole pattern width, to fit with a solly toe.

New old colour. Pretty sure those were around in mid 80s or early 90s.

Looks very interesting. They had a magazine-invite-demo-thing a month a go. Norwegian magazine Friflyt was stoked. If this is as good as they claim it could replace my Cochise/Mtn Lab combo, and make me buy a 1000g-boot for longer tours.

For some reason I feel that the cuff/liner looks a bit taller than Cochise etc......which would be welcome for me.

May still be a deal breaker but it was just the mid height riser that required turning the heel. Seemed like the mid height was minimal(5degree?) difference from flat and he almost mentioned it as an afterthought. Flat and the 3rd level riser didn’t require turning the heel. Maybe the 3rd is too high for regular use though. Idk

Those were the days, under the snik parasol, honey bronzed and very desirable

This carefully concealed death machine has been spotted on Hood

After he goes public, I wonder if it will be allowed at Alta

New A1.0 (not RS). Takes some nice design features from the RS, the A3.0 and the current A1.0. Should be a great race boot.

Is that Fischer boot DIN compatible? Vacuum Fit? Still made in Italy?

The video on their site shows it clicking into a MBS13 alpine binding, which I think would mean DIN compatible. No idea on the other stuff though.

LOLOLOL

I wonder if this is one of the designers from Ghost Works, they design Hoka's shoes among many other, as clued from that sticker.

5 degrees without rotating the heel piece, 0 and 9 degrees with 90 degree rotation of the heel piece. Seems you’d either make do with just the 5 degree setting, or 0 and 9. Going back and forth would be annoying.
