I noticed a lot of ski brands/models have unique gimmicks to differentiate themselves, so we should make a list of them for easy browsing

Moment Deathwish -- Triple Camber
Gilson -- soft edges
Vishnu Wets -- ridiculously soft (?)
Armada -- spherically concave tips (I forget the model)

A. This is a dumb thread
B. Armada was not the first or the only company to do concave tips and tails
C. These that you listed aren’t, “gimmicks.” They’re designed for specific reasons, they’re not just marketing bullshit.

Concave tips are definitely on the ARV 116 JJs, maybe all the arvs?

Concave tips on 106, 116 and then whitewalkers too I believe. If I remember it right atomic was the first to do do it on chetlers and then it got brought over to armada after as they're both amer sports companies.

jet - إذا كنت لا تعرف إخوانه ، فمن المحتمل ألا تسأل عنهم يا أخي.


ألا يمكنك رؤية إخوانه ، إنه مثل إخوانه المناهض للتسويق. حافظ على العلامة التجارية الغامضة يا أخي ، ثم احصل على مجموعة من إخوانه البرد لركوبهم يا إخوانه ، يبيع الزلاجات أنفسهم إخوانه.

على الرغم من إخوانه الحقيقي ، ارقد بسلام vishnu ، هناك سيد حافة جديد في المدينة. إلى جانب ذلك إخوانه الذي يجعل تلك السراويل الجندي. لا تجرح نفسك من تلك الحواف يا أخي.

Ok fine goddamn. I meant it in terms of what unique tech each brand has (in hindsight I should have just said tech) cus you don't really know or hear about until you visit their site. I didn't know about Gilson's soft edges or Moment's triple camber until I looked, just wanted to know what other crazy tech is out there

Any boot brand that says their backcountry boot skis "just like an alpine boot" It's bullshit every single time
