Official 2010/2011 Gear and Rumors thread

[Maker]

anyone got any info on the 2011 Blizzard Argos regarding flex, camber, rocker changes? I believe this years is just flat camber....

[Ninthward]

^Says the guy skiing on 10/11 skis with a garage full of prototype like a tip rocker made'n and flat tail pontoon.

Sounds like the new 9's.

[Professor]

Did I miss something. Do the new 9s have rocker? I thought the last version was just standard camber. Come on, if you want to throw spam in here, at least tell us what you are talking about so it is good spam

10/11 189 obSETHed day two review:

Revelstoke had crud, bumps, old pow, crust, and groomers.

GCHS had better pow and everything else except for groomers.

So far so good. Obviously much driftier than the DarkSide, but also more predictable in variable snow.

I mounted the rearmost NTN position at 0 and have tried them at 0 and +1, and I'm thinking for me the +1 is going to be where they stay.

I'm looking forward to some more days on them. I think these will be my daily driver from now on.

G3 is coming out with a new line that has a bit of titanal in it... they call it the "power series" and the skis are still fairly light.

Manhattan
139-108-128
tip rocker
175, 180, 185, 190cm
8.6lb for the 180

Fever
132-100-123
tip rocker
177, 185, 192cm
8.1lb for the 177

Zest-T
women's ski
132-100-123
tip rocker
172 and 177cm

They also redesigned the Rapid Transit slightly and are calling it the Mass Transit, and made a women's version called the Jam. They also made a women's version of the Onyx called the Ruby, which as far as I can tell is just a different color and lower DIN, but the same weight, which seems pointless.

The tele bindings are the same shitty offerings as always.

[Camber Sidecut]

Was googleing the webz and found this from a Deutsch webstore:

Dynastar Legend Pro

Sidecut: 137-115mm-127
R: 32
Weight: 2.340g

Bit short and heavy, but the other dims I like.

^^^ one of those skis is not like the others....

I heard an interesting story about the Elan Boomerang a few weeks ago. From what I heard the design for that came directly from Mr. Hjorleifson himself and his instructions on how to set the molds for his Renegade.

[Zeppelinskier]

I skied on a new volkl today. Its look like a Mantra but its has smaller dimensions It was nice, slightly quicker edge to edge than the Mantra but had that mantra feel.
anyone know what ski this is?

[CarlE]

That'll be the Völkl Kendo... 88mm under foot. Was it black and a bit grey? http://www.freeride.se/content/3703/#

Thought renegade was full reverse camber and the boomerang was only tip and tail...

[Professor]

^^^ Isnt the Boomerang two seasons old? I also think it is a 190, not a 186. So I kind of doubt it is the same as the Renegade.

[Caucasian Asian]

Sorry, he was talking about next years Boomerang. And it's not identical, but close enough that Eric was giving advice on mounting points.

[jeffamantea]

Thought renegade was full reverse camber and the boomerang was only tip and tail...

yeah, unless Elan changed the Boomerang, they are different. They have pretty different dimensions anyways.

[PearlJam09]

Anyone have any further information on the Salomon Quest line? Last? Flex? What shell is it based off of or is it a totally new shell? Would love to hear more about these.

[mntlion]

search for the quest boot info. a few threads on it.

This is absolutely an update rule. New technologies, optimized rigidity and weight, shape preserving ...

What's new in the construction ...

1. Resort Rocker: Rocker average ski sock with a slight positive deflection under ski boot. Designed for better handling and surfacing in various states of snow. Do not reduce the ability of skis Karvas on groomed slopes.

2. Thin Alu Profile: unique design of dual Titanal provides an excellent mix of low longitudinal stiffness for surfacing in the Powder and high torsionki for groomed slopes and a hard crust.

3. Channel Woodcore: a new core that reduces weight and reduces Skiing longitudinal stiffness.

4. SST Sidewall: new sloping side walls are used with the same purpose - lower weight, softer ski.

Now it is lyzhki 2011.

I looked at the Boomerang and Pogostiks. He recalled his feelings at them and realized that poke them in the Freestyle series as something illogical. This brilliant representatives Backcountry Freestyle. Live here

So. Meet! BC Rocker Profile. Full rocker toe and heel lightweight rocker with a very low bending the middle of the ski. Floating, soft prizemy, better handling on the steepest sections, the walls. Keeping in switches.

Representatives:

hadn't heard about the elan olympus mons yet. sounds like a sick ski, knowing how damp a lot of their sticks are. maybe a touch to much sidecut for a true charger though, unless it's tapered (then it'd be perfect).
