Really interested in the "new"/different design from FullTilt. Interested to why they went to a tongue liner too. I prefer those to the wrap style so stoked on that change.
ski-hippieYeah thats what I was wondering on that ski, is it super soft? cause thats what I'm hoping for
Pretty soft yep, like quite a bit softer than my 112's, maybe I'm wrong but I think it felt pretty similar to a blend (not positive, I hand flexed both only very briefly)
3500Any updates for the new K2 Float (airbag) backpacks or the updated BCA Float 22 or 25 turbo packs?
It's loud as fuck. They kept showing it off all day and I could hear them from like half the convention center away. But really, I think it's supposed to be super fast acting, like much faster than anything on the market right now.
NippletronWhat have Moment done to the Deathwish graphic! The 2014/2015 was one of my favourite graphics ever, however maybe the photo quality doesn't do the new "blacked out" design justice. Would love if someone were to share a catalog with me!
It looks a lot better in person, don't worry. Only problem I have with it is the copper triangle "inlay' in the topsheet that looks like it's glued on (sometimes kinda crooked) and it's right on the flex point of the ski (so it's going to pop off super easily). Other than that, they look on point. Also, if anyone gets them, try and see if you can request opposite bases (one ski blue on black and one ski black on blue), I think they'd look super sick that way.
SnowzillaI did a sex wee wee after seeing the new Armada kit. ;)
Has anyone seen if Dynafit are going to update the Vulcan TF for next season? I looked but could see no info about it anywhere.
I presume it's getting replaced with this:
Dynafit PR copy excerpt:
The Khiôn is a highly technical, modern free touring boot… The goal was unrivaled performance and precision with direct power transmission and maximal support…thanks to the new Precision Lock System. This patented system enables the various parts of the boot to work together as a torsional stiff unit and thus allows maximum rigidity even under higher mechanical loads. The rigidity of the Magnesium Spoiler used here also saves weight, allowing the Precision Lock System to develop its full power. Lateral stability and stiffness in the forward lean is achieved via the “exoskeleton” in the exterior shell. Lateral dampers and asymmetrical construction support the legs when carving turns and ensure direct power transmission. Its surface was specially designed to reduce frictional resistance in the snow. This saves energy on the ascent and diminishes the risk of catching rocks or branches. The patented buckle system can be completely open with one quick hand motion without the need to alter current settings…

Is the black graphic illustrating anything? Or is it just different shades of black here and there, somewhat camo like? Mind elaborating on the opposite bases, didn't quite get that bit, is the base graphic of the ski just blue?
Also tell me, are the Govenors unchanged from last year and does that graphic look even sicker in person? Would really love to head out to the States and charge with them..

Here's a better picture (click for full res):
The tops are like a really dark grey smoke on black, combined with the textured topsheet it does look pretty good (I think the texture messes up the photos or something). It's not really any design, but it's also not really camo..it kinda just looks like smoke. But from that picture you can get a better idea of what I was talking about with the bases, normally you'd get the pair on the left or the pair on the right, I think having the middle two as a pair would be sweet.
I was really busy in the ON3P booth pretty much all SIA, so I didn't get to talk to the Moment guys about their line too much. I just got to take some looks at them while I was passing by since they were right next to us. So I don't know about the Governors construction, and I honestly can't remember what they look like. But, since all their topsheets are textured, it could the same weird reflection. I'd wait until they post the graphic on their site since that'll be the original image file and not a picture of the ski.
I like the ON3P graphics for the upcoming lineup much better than their past ones. I know that's unpopular, but I'm way more stoked on what was posted from SIA.
I'm going to be at ispo (the euro equivalent to SIA if you didn't know) for the next couple of days is there any skis, outerwear, clothes, boots, bindings, you would like to know more about? whether it's more details of something glossed over/missed from the SIA coverage or item or brand specifics. I have no meeting commitments or business I need to sort so will take on as many requests as given.
Also if anybody else is going to be around hmu with a message.
Chaz, interrogate the Scarpa family to figure out their plan for the F1 Evo. Are they going to re-release the boot sans Tronic, will they make any changes at all?

If you could find out if APO is still producing skis, that would be greatly appreciated, also, if you see the Black Crow booth, could you let NS know if they look quality and all that fun stuff?

Black Crows are quality and fun to ride on. They demo a few times here and there out in France/Switzerland. Got to try 115 underfoot, forget the exact model name. There wasn't a lot of nice, fresh pow to try them on, but they were super responsive and fun to slash around on. Charging with them was great and you felt super confident on them with all the chatter, crashing through the crud and what not. 9/10 would demo again

Yesterday i was on the ISPO15 with a friend. Sadly we havent made many photos. I was really impressed by the Line Mordecai. Its weight is 3740gramms, which is damn good for a Ski with 114 underfoot. Also Armada releassed a new line, their new Pipecleaner looks great etc.etc.

bnewbs6Someone I work with just got back from SIA an told me that the Marker Kingpins got recalled. Anyone know about this?
As far as I know not a full recall. Marker just said to check the pins and they would fix/replace as needed. Unless something more has happened since I last heard.

Sounds like the same thing that happened with the Diamir Vipecs on their first season. All fixed now.
peeped the Saga HQ in Utah, a huge portion of their 2015 line is on display in there. All I can say is that it looks fucking fire. A lot of new fabrics for their lines that aren't part of the Anomie line. Well constructed and it really shows that they spent a lot more time on it. I could easily say that a lot of people would find at LEAST one item that would fit them well next year!
BlackcountryBillLooks like this is it and it attaches to the outside of a bag, might have to pick one up so I can keep using my F-stop bag on pow days.
This is by far the biggest news coming out of SIA. Not sure why there is so little hype surrounding this on NS.
The main reason why people are turned off by avi airbags is the $500+ price tag. Allowing consumers to pay less for a system that keeps them safe without purchasing a whole new bag is revolutionary, and will keep thousands of more skiers safe if the price is right.

BlackcountryBillHas anyone seen any info on this TNF airbag system that's supposedly compatible with 95% of rucksacks?
This gives you all the info you need, except price. Looks slick although I don't doubt it would still be around the $500 mark though considering their full systems are $1000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmUWWRr9pY8
