    Pretty. What do those two little "horns" that flip up in the middle of the toe piece do I wonder?

    Break. That spring will be gone in about two minutes.
    ...and the hype in the text is amazingly poor. I actually wish some big companies would dispute claims on each other so when the smoke cleared there would be a more realistic playing field for all.

    In the text, they mention step in. From what I can tell, I bet it's the actuator that's stepped upon to close the jaws.

    My money for the "horns" is that they are an indicator of where to put your foot when you step in. IE slide your foot forward until you hit resistance then step down. I also just got an Eddie Bauer magazine in the mail and there was a photo that had some strange type of self arrest ski pole in it. Way more aggressive of a pick angle than a Whippet.

    The most powerful and intuitive lightweight freeride touring binding yet. All-new from the creative minds at G3. Game changing forward pressure, wide mount and refined toe jaw dynamics plus unique step-in and brake features yield superior freeride performance in the lightest set up you can ask for.
    See comment about forward pressure. My guess is the little horns have something to do with the forward pressure.

    Pretty meh on it, unless there is something crazy going on that can't be seen.

    At first I thought the toe piece could do the same as the new Fritschi, but after looking at the arms and mounting screws I got disappointed..

    An I the only one who thinks a beast toe piece combined with a radical heel will result in a ton of pre-releases?

    Additional support for the metal toe P15 (6-15). That at $300, with a P12 or P13 at 200-230 would compete much better against the marker/Amer offerings. Combine the P15 with a Lord style feature and I'll just start writing checks now.

    maybe they are just to hold the pins on the front-piece open somehow? and if you click in your boot, they might want to stay closed, like the onyx-ones? that might make the toepiece actually interesting, in opposite to boring.

    "BD takes their popular Convert ski and revamps it with carbon for 2014! The Carbon Convert holds true to what made the original Convert so popular: a fat, rockered ski that is now even lighter for the uphill treks still delivers a fun, powdery ride for on the way down. Full specs are still under wraps, but we guarantee this will be the must-have ski for the spring 2014 ski season!"

    No weights listed, but given BD's recent track record, they probably wouldn't have been reliable anyway. Expected to hit shelves in mid-January.

    Salomon will include S-LAB models in their Q-line. I know for sure there will be a S-LAB Q 105 (titanium Q 105)

    I also heard dynafit is changing all their vulcan based models, but I can't confirm.

    Heard rumours of a Vulcan-esque Salomon boot. Light, stiff, good ROM. Hopefully, unlike the Vulcan, it has a nice progressive flex to it.

    ....and unlike the Quest, the inserts will stay in!

    Skied my Solly x-max back to back w/ my Mercury's this weekend for the first time. Never did realize quite how unprogressive the flex difference between those 2 was till then. Have to give it to Solly for the flex, so nice.

    So important question then, rockered sole or WTR sole?
