The.FishUn-crackable edges. As I get further into engineering in college, the more I cry because I realize it won't happen
a_burgeredollos in a 185, more skis with asymmetrical rocker in general
bquick222So many people saying they want goggles that don't fog. Am I the only one that doesn't have this issue? The only time mine fog up is when I walk in the lodge.
MortbrokemyskisI ski 100 plus days a year normally (not this year) and I’ve had my goggles fog once ever because I left them in my boot bag overnight with my wet gloves and face mask which is fully on me. What are these people doing with their goggles
brogoldenhairExplain further? can't tell if you're serious

elm.B-dog edgless was the first step. Nylon/carbon combo would be good I think. Just know they'll never be that sharp. Or some metal that has good thermal shock, but it's prlly too expensive.
HackerDutiesA phone case that stops it from dying in the cold
FruitBootProWould UHMW edges be good? They'd slide amazing on rails but I'm not sure they would be able to hold an edge...
Julius_Steezerless realistic: would be sweet if you get goggles that had a sat Nav type feature with the piste map. So you could select on your phone that you want to go to a certain chair / the nearest black run / the park and your goggles would have arrows showing you where to go. Obvs this is more useful when going on a trip to a resort you’re less familiar with
MortbrokemyskisMore long skis in general. It’s hard to find a 190 park ski that I want to ride I feel like most skis could use atleast another size. I am 6’5 and 200pounds though so I’m definitely bigger than most but a man can dream.
AlmostCoolerBruh you’re big but you’re not “I need a 210 ski” big.
granted it would look badass but I’m 5’11” and 180-185 is perfect for me. Can’t imagine going a whole foot bigger
DolanReloadedA legitimately good padded hat.
obv a helmet will always be better but in soft conditions helmets arent really necessary.

Turd__AuthorityMy goggles rarely fog. Quite a few reasons they have in the past.
1) If my Under Armour face mask nose section is under the frame. This allows hot air to be blown up into my goggles and create condensation. Interestingly, it doesn't do this if I wear a buff instead...
2) Cold pow days. Snow is dumping. Humidity is near 100%. Temps near zero or below. Combine that with snow dropping onto the top of my goggle vents blocking airflow. Hot and sweaty skin radiating heat and moisture. This all is a recipe for disaster for fogging.
3) Also affects #2 but many goggles are low profile and don't stick out from a helmet, so the vents that are necessary for ventilation to prevent fogging are mostly blocked.
4) Skied in the rain and this allowed water in between a break in the dual pane seal, and I got fog in between lenses which sucks.
5) If you make the mistake of redirecting hot air into your goggles when it's 0F outside, it instantly frosts over. If this happens during a run, you have either the choice to ski without goggles or sacrifice the antifog application and scrape off the frost from your inner lens. This can ruin its antifog properties.
6) Forgot to let them dry overnight and tried skiing with wet goggles.
MortbrokemyskisI didn’t say I need 210 just replied to a guy who said that. But you’re riding the longest length that most under 100 skis come in and you’re not even 6 feet. I’m a half foot taller than you I need longer skis than that. Also I grew up racing (193 gs skis) so I like long skis with lots of edge. But I also like a lot of rocker front and rear so I would love a 210 for some more effective edge and I’ve never skied on a ski and thought it was too long or hard to control.
Holteoccasionally like to land switch into pow, so I don't want to mount my skis too far back from center.

DolanReloadedIf i was 6-5 i still wouldnt go taller than my height which is 195 cm
HolteI'm 6'4, 210. I'm slender. I like to jump off of big things into cascade cement and also occasionally like to land switch into pow, so I don't want to mount my skis too far back from center. I rode 189 Hellebents for years (which are like 194ish true) and always wished they were just a bit longer.
It's a small market, but there's a market for tall guys who want to get sendy and also ski switch.
Or maybe I'm just looking at the wrong skis and the answer already exists out there. Any ideas gents?
amccahill93I rode a 196cm for most of 18/19 season and loved it. Down Skis makes a 206cm directional charger that's like 106mm underfoot and I want it so bad tbh
DubeyHow about skis where you can change the flex of with a push of a button. Perhaps running a magnetic field through the material to cause the ski to stiffen/soften up? just a thought but its beyond my pay grade

The bottom one also has two sheets of metal.And they have a fair Price

amccahill93i want a company to make a ski boot with pins but no walk mode. i fucking hate walk mode
K-Dot.Pivots that you can tour with
BagOTricksA "din" setting for your boot that when hit allows the back of your boot to release, helping to prevent ACL injuries when landing back seat. Lange did something like this in the past, but it hasn't gained any type of traction despite the rigidity of modern boots being a major cause of ACL injuries.
