gear rumors 18/19

[TahoeJ]

Interesting. I could have sworn on the blister podcast Hoji said he hated the first version of the Hoji and changed it the following year... but I could be mistaken. But maybe that was his original prototype... or another ski and I'm misremembering.

That's not all the skis for 18/19...

Deathwish, Wildcat, Wildcat Tour come in a 190...

Pretty sure you can always order and older mold...such as the Comi, Governor etc. Just give them a shout.

Id love another new pair of the 2013 belafonte shape in 192 or the last release of the M1 in pink. Would make my day. Il have to inquire...

that was my first reaction too. but last time when they updated and went from the owls to the greens I also had the same worry but I love the new/current ones. I have hojifaith.

Do you have J lev faith? I don’t.

He was a little less direct than that. My memory is that there have been subtle changes over the years, mainly material and flex patterns, that have led to what he believes is an improved skiing experience. It also probably depends on application for how much they have actually improved.

I have high hopes / expectations for this ski.

If it turns out to have a sub 25m sidecut and/or weighs less than 2200g, I'm gonna be super bummed.

I second that. Hoping it has comparable sidecut and weight to Wren 108 189cm. 27-29m radius, 2300 grams.

From Newschoolers, Luke on the Commander 108:

We finally have the flex, sidecut and camber dialed on the 108 Commander.

Aspen/Ash full length wood stringer core. Triax fiberglass, Carbon stringers and two almost full length sheets of Titanal (read: Tit/Anal) per ski. -8cm recommended mount or -1 / -2cm back for more directional charging.

These things are beasts that have a slightly playful side.

So the Titanal isn't full width or full length because we wanted to keep it inside the ski due to the semi-cap design. It is the ski shape just shrunk down a few %.

We will have final weights soon but its slightly on the heavier side of say a Tahoe 106 187cm...and we wanted it that way to help with its charge-ability.

Apparently there is a new YLE ski from RMU, available exclusively at evo. It's not particularly interesting, but the marketing copy is pretty awesome:

SIDECUT

Blended Progressive Golden Radius – Using the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci sequence, the YLE 118 blends multiple radii to create a progressive radius averaging 25m. The Golden Ratio highlights how natural elements grow and relate to one another, which fits YLE's personality and skiing style - every element connected and integrated.

(https://www.evo.com/skis/rmu-yle-pro)

So maybe it's dual-radius with a 19m radius in the front and a 30m radius in the back? Or a triple-radius with 14.3m - 23.1m - 37.4m? Or maybe someone did a Google image search for "fibonacci sequence"

[I've seen black diamonds!]

That is classic.

Anyone have a good picture of the 2019 Blizzard Zero G 108? I know the design is unchanged and I think it's all black with orange sidewalls but want to confirm. Looking at close-out deals on 2017/18... and yeah, touring skis with black topsheets...

2019 108 looks like it is black on black carbon cutout. The 95 looks like it will be available in green and orange.

Looks like the 2019 Alchemist Lotus 124. I think I read or heard somewhere, maybe here, or on the Blister podcast, that they're ditching the spoon tip for next year.

First I thought meth, but then I saw he's got all his teeth, so I don't know.
