That ski is def not in their catalog for next year. But it is curious that those skis have a matte black top sheet but then a clearly defined die cut or other wise graphic base... Usually, when a company is coming out with a new ski or graphic, they will simply slap the new top sheet onto the current years ski, but have a black base (since the skis are for the pro riders first, it is usually a race/ sintered base anyway).
The base on the skis also seems in keeping with the current, toned down graphics and color tones of the present rossi slat. I do hope that rossi drops a ski like this...
Im foreseeing a 102-110mm waisted twin tip with a fully rockered profile to be dropping from rossi in the next year. Stand by...
j.w.vGuess both me and Tom were right, not one but two new Oakley goggles. May be the first time ever I'm not to impressed with the look of them though...
Helmets just don't look right, surprised considering how long they had those in the works for
yeah those helmets suck. really giving me a mtb vibe
The link for the new line pescado video. As much as some people on here dislike Line I have to say when it comes to ski design EP is so damn creative.
before someone else posts a rant about how line sucks and isn't creative I'll politely tell you the pescado isn't the first split tail ski, a company called hexcel was making them ages ago, plus the ones volkl and igneous have made more recently
that said it looks like a really fun ski, I'd love to try them sometime, not sure if I'll ever give up skiing switch tho

Thanks for not being rude about it like some people would be +k for u. Yeah I never knew about the other ones. I guess you learn something new everyday. And I'm not just talking about the pescado specificly just overall the man is very creative when it comes to ski designing. Oh I definitely would like to give them a try but yeah only being able to ride forward would be hard for me.
japanadaDont be lazy, check the past pages. Rossi and ON3P and Armada are out already.
Im lazy as fuck i couldn't find anything i already saw the on3p but i saw nothing of Rossignol but a picture of this years skis and armada only saw the edollos and bdogs of next year.
Please any info on the Moment Governor! Saw the sneak peak of the new stuff on mmntskis.com but it doesn't show the full line up. Also any pictures/catalog of next year's Nike Vision line would be appreciated!
M.MFrom what i have understood thats not a thing. but they may still be making goggles.
but there is also a good chance I'm wrong, just trying to remember what i thought i read.
I believe they maybe shut down Nike Snowboarding if I recall correctly? I believe Nike Vision is still a thing. However Gus was wearing a pair of 15/16 goggles but that may just be because Nike hasn't finished or sent him next seasons.

This was from over a month ago now but i heard from a little bird, no nike sb/6.0 skiers as of jan 1. And at that point rumor was same goes for snowboarding. was unsure about gus tho
baitSure hope that Volkl Gets a better topsheet designer.
I imagine Volkl is sticking with a simple aesthetic that doesn't alienate anyone. They probably sell more ski's that way. And you can see it's a trend with the bigger brands. Because money.

I couldn't agree more. As much as we (NS) enjoy badass graphics etc. We're only a small fraction of the market and that's not where the money is at unfortunately.
Currently sitting and typing this in the Fischer Traverse carbon.
HOLY CRAP.
Lighter than the Backland, seems like it has a higher cuff. INSANE range of motion, that claimed 80 degrees is much more ROM than my ankles actually have.
I am going to run up a mountain tomorrow.
Still need to see how the way down will be though.

Yeah, checked those out, but don't have them in hand yet so they'll have to wait
.MASSHOLE.Flex?
Soft, we'll see how soft
jcahow solid does the BOA system feel?
Surprisingly solid.
Gonna have to wait for more for the full review on Blister!
Next year there are no more Rossi Bindings. Everything is now branded under the Look Bindings Brand interesting to see if the Orange FKS is still around
DeebieSkeebiesLate to the party on this but could someone please give me the specs on these new langes featured in the OP. A freeride-specific line of sorts?
130 flex closest in the picture. They are more or less the Lange XT but now have Dynafit Tech Adapters in the toes. Sounds like a deadly combination taking the ski-ability of lange then adding tech inserts.

( the lange XT and RX will still be around)
sounds like an interesting boot. Im a big lange fanboy, any changes to the RX line at all? the 130's are such a solid boot.

From talking to the Rep the RX is staying a bad ass boot. Lange is my go too as well personally i would go to this new boot as a slack country boot to work with my touring set up
