Gear rumors 19/20

[smartyiak]

Black Crows have had killer graphics for the last several years, but I’ve gotta say: yeesh!

Everything to the right is retail...to the left is: rental fleet???? Those are just terrible!

When you think you're getting rad but then check your ski boot app and it says you're a beater...

That would be great; you check your app and:

Congrats, your analysis is:
Bode ___
Shiffrin ____
Best on Mountain ____
Beater __X___

Not a rumor but I present one of the most unTGR skis. 12m radius, 129 waist, 1330g, and still has camber.

Yeah, weird. Fwiw, I think they look better here for some reason. I actually like the inverse color scheme for their all mountain front side skis though. They should have kept it fading all the way to black at the tails of the big mountain skis like the other ones do with fading to white. Keep it consistent.

[smooth operator]

agreed, those on the left are pretty dope.

[LeoK]

left side = birdie -> graphics for the ladies.

edit: forget what I said. left side is front side skis as mentioned. The ones that fade out in the tails are the birdies.

What?

Rich, slow, gaper, dentists need something flashy to lean on the side of the lodge while sipping hot toddys after their annual one-run-and-done week of heli skiing.

Where are we on the fat cat (116)/stray cat (108 tour) and kitten (PBJ) nomenclature?

The topsheet possibilities, tho

I bet they look a little better with bindings mounted since that will break up those long continuous lines. One thing I will say, however, is I'm a big fan now of white skis, especially for touring but also at the resort. So much less snow sticking. I have these and the difference has been noticeable...

I have also been dreaming about the topsheet possibilities. A collage of cats, in the same style as the old Jaguar Sharks, would be absolutely hilarious, and so dope.

You really think so? It's not texture?

While texture is a whole other discussion, it's definitely color based. Noticed the difference for sure.

BD won an ISPO award for some pack named "JetForce PRO BT " but I have yet to find a photo of it.

So I can bluetooth to my airbag pack. Fuck that. So 2011. Get back to me when I can talk to my pack and have it order me a pizza.

[bodywhomper]

I know this is so not Moment's lane, but I'd be really interested to see what they would come up with for a ski mountaineering couloir/ steep ski. 90mm-ish, maybe triple camber, lightish...

35L modular... capacitor or battery?

They used to do the Tahoe, which was 96mm (I think) with triple camber. Not a heavy ski, but definitely not ski-mo light. I wonder if they'd make a custom ski using the old Tahoe molds with one of their touring cores.
