severniyI thought Atomic XTD is the best for skinny legs.
It's certainly an option, but the lower section of the boot just didn't play well with my foot shape. Still gripped the calf / ankle, but I feel the Zero G is closer to the S/Max, which both myself and @-eREKTion- are big fans of.
patagonialukeRevolt 104 looks sick. And by sick, I mean it both aesthetically looks like something that might upset my stomach, and a ski that could be really fun.
Faction is likely running out of other people’s money at this point. I sincerely doubt they reached the numbers mentioned last time they were rounding up investors. Probably pretty hard to get more when your only success relies on a a single dude’s name.
Didn't Faction also supposedly move production to a bigger factory (Salomon)? If true, I'm sure it wasn't cheap, but hopefully it ups their quality/durability.

And they dropped all their reps and it sounds like they’re going in-house at least that’s what our local used to be faction rep told us.

They're moving most of it to the Fischer factory

Another difficult to read tgr thread, some cool looking stuff for sure but I'm unclear as to why anyone would wade through the shit to find tidbits of useful info on that site.
I think the shift boot looks pretty cool, I actually like the colorway and the general low profile shape of it.
tomPietrowskiThen you missed the very interesting new skis ;)
Best graphic it’s had so far, it looks so good and will be amazing with the gold pivot 15’s
Damn lol. What’s up with the new Full Tilt touring boot? He did say it isn’t based on the classic shell. That it’s based on the descendant shell. I was hoping it was the classic shell.

It goes alongside the ascendant and is dope I was wearing them yesterday. OR show starts 29th of this month so not much longer to wait.
New Wildcat graphic looks pretty dope. I guess the Wildcat theme is progressing into deep space. First, the launch graphic, this years moon graphic, and next year looks like some Star Trek shit.
Mr_pretzelAnyone have any details about the new line skis lineup?
or the new cochise line from blizzard?
Sick Day 114 goes away, becomes vision 114 with the vision shape/construction I believe according to the rep, Sammy gets an FT, it'll either be the ascendant as it is now or with a lighter shell. Either way, 2 ft touring boots, basically ascendant and then lighter shell ascendant. Heard there's a narrower sakana called the Blade with some metal, 95 underfoot I think. Pandora gets a 112/114 ski I believe, sick day construction. Not sure if supernatural is sticking around or not. Haven't seen the catalogue yet.

I've been told the TWP gets a makeover with a new shape and flex pattern. not sure if thats for 20/21 or 21/22 though.
Mindbender 108. Skied the whole reckoner range today... I promise no disappointments. They were the tits. 102 super playful... the 112 perfect all rounder held the edge surprisingly well. And wasnt really the snow for the 122... but was alot of fun to mess around on
-eREKTion-But what? Also, can anyone ID the beanie it looks sick.

I'm super excited about the Blade. Sidecut radius is simply listed as "tight."

That’s the coolest graphic I’ve ever fucking seen. Moment always knocks their graphics out the park
