What are the thoughts out there on RMU? I've always generally liked their vibe, they run those sweet experience shops, but I just haven't run into too many people that are actually riding their skis or gear.

I use their 35L backcountry pack and it’s really unique. I’d love to check out some skis. They seem pretty well thought out

I really like my YLE 110s. The specs suit my style of skiing well and the build quality seems to be fantastic. That being said, I've owned Factions before I got my hands on the YLE 110s so my sense for build quality might be skewed lol

I also own the YLE 110s. They are super flexible and funned also can carve really nice but the 25m turn radius kinda sucks imo. I will definitely get another pair when mine die in the future.

The Apostle 3.0 106 has been one of the most surprising skis I've gotten on in the past year. I had really bad experiences with the first generations of the Apostles but the latest one is just super playful, easy, and intuitive. YLE 110 feels super similar to me, apart from the radius. Very curious to try the new 116 and/or 121. Seems like they've turned things around well at that company over the past few years.
About the new Backland UL boots, is the cuff the same as the regular new Backland? Is there a possibility to attach a power strap without drilling a hole in the cuff? Very into the idea of having the boa system and a strap style buckle, but I also like a strap higher on the cuff.

Same cuff & shell. Different liner construction & cuff closure ("Speed Strap"). The new Speed Strap isn't officially transferable to an older boot because there are some pretty critical modifications to the cuff to make that happen.

So it's possible to attach a power strap to the UL if needed? (The one that comes stock on the new regular Backland)
Does anyone know if the Taylor Lundquist Pro Model boot is different from the mens boots in any other way than the graphics? Is it narrower or are there size limitations?
They look really dope and if buying this boot would in some way maybe even support Taylor and her skiing i would be more than happy to buy these as my next pair of kicks.

unless K2 is really gonna surprise us the spine and liner will be shorter and have a cut out to accommodate a feminine calf muscle
The Tbl will have a shorter cuff with the split in the back which helps it fit a lower calf muscle. We also use a shorter version of the same pro wrap liner found in the wallisch. From there I also changed the cables to be 10mm shorter than on the equivalent size wallisch boot. I heard a lot that women especially were switching to shorter cables so me and Taylor decided to just make the cables shorter to begin with.
Other than that the other specs of the boot will be the same as you find on the wallisch. So think of this as a wallisch set up out of the box for women.

Anyone hear any updates on when Atomic is releasing the new Bent line? I see some stores have inventory of next seasons stuff already. Just spent some time comparing the specs of the old Blogs to the new 110 and they are damn close. Thinned the quiver big time in anticipation of this ski.

I just received the email to order some early release skis and just submitted I so should have the new 110’s available mid February.

marvin69this better not be a joke, are they available on the b2b website? ordering them as soon as I can
They aren’t. Only available through the rep. From what I saw when we got the info only us, Cole sport in Park City, and backcountry.com will have them in the US

If can buy them on the website and you guys can ship them right?
CatdickBojangles@J_skis what’s up with the escalator?
"Designed to turn the whole mountain into your personal playground, the new J Escalator ski..."
Just fucking around.
The Escalator is a narrower, more "every day" version of The Slacker that @Ahmets_Brother is engineering. We wanted something that would a) be a touring ski for days there isn't a foot of fresh snow and b) serve as a lighter option to our otherwise heavy all-mtn line with The Masterblaster and Hotshot. We're in the second round of prototyping now and I'm crazy impressed with how well they ski - both uphill and in-bounds. Super light feel on the foot, amazing carver, but still wicked slashable in the tail.
