    Expo pictures from Sweden

    http://www.freeride.nu/content/844/

    Elan seems to have something new (and ugly I must say) coming this year. Swallowed, but it´s hard to tell how wide from the pictures.

    a general comment:
    too much white, a color for any stick
    atomic: why some false wood covers on plastic daddies?
    dynastar: worse and worse. IMVHO the last nice stick they did was the big with the dragon/snake. Guess that quicksilver creatives do not dig dynastar at all
    elan: really like the macabre dance on swallow. Very yurp
    fischer: 05-06 maori were rad, these 06-07 are a step back
    head: as usual
    K2: I have loved phat luv and missdemeanor, but these 06-07 are worse. Really love Seth dalì, though.
    kneissl and nordica: '70 style toons...
    Rossi: quicksilvers' creatives generated the next big thing: burn scratches not so bad, though
    solly: so-and-so, but prolly better than 05-06
    volkl: even nastier than predicted. Gotamas have always been nice, now are and, most of all, were the hell are sanouks?

    Found some more info on the new Elans. It´s called Quad-One (M1111, probably) and will be in the 06/07 lineup. The dimensions are 161/121/141@184cm(one length only), radius 20,3 m.

    Strange to have that much side cut on a powder ski. And to bad it´s that short.

    Agree with Verbier61 there - some ugly-ass skis on display! Still, I am sure they ski nicely (or at least some of them do).

    Thanks for the link though - most comprehensive roundup of next year's skis I've seen

    Have to say,that there are some intresting sticks...


    Big Daddy with the : 125mm waist

    Scott P4 : 108 waist

    Head Mojo 105 : 105 AND twinned.Finally.Wonder how much softer it is than 103s?

    And especially

    Elan´s Swallowtail : 121mm... And short enough for us midgets.
    The sidecut is a bit disturbing,though.


    But...time to start to save up some moooney...

    The floggings will continue until morale improves.

    From those pics, the Sweet Daddies look a bit soft in the shovel and I'm not too sure about the ollie-band performance of those new Fujatives re: all mountain versatility. Feels a bit inconsistent.

    The site is down. That really doesnt happen very often. It´s a big skiing community site. It will soon be up I hope.

    the protos were in LL this september, and I asked Ryan how they skied. Think flex and everything else of the Mojo 90 but 105 underfoot. Less of a killer than the iM.103

    (of course things may have changed since then)

    i dont understand why rossi has multiple versions of the scratch, are the ones w leaves the sprayers?

    k2s are pretty ugly next year, bad turn for them imo.

    scott p4s are awesome looking, wonder how they ski.
    also, the fischer range has sweet graphics turn around, the new atuas look dope.

    lastly, titan pro, America FUCK YEAH graphic is sweet. very captain america.

    There's some pics of monster line in the article, it looks like they're going to have the M103 next year?

    From what I could decipher that Scott is going to come in a 191 too. Could be a fun ski, if anyone decides to carry Scott, unlike this year

    on the Rossi Website there was a contest last fall to design the new Scratch graphic. maybe this Bamboo is the result of that...

    I found this for next years Salomon line up.... they have really lost the plot is a massive way on the graphics front.

    http://wangel.jp/ski/_salomon07.html


    They're releasing what is basically the gun lab as the gun but with a messed up graphic. Same dimensions exactly...



    They also seem to be trying to nick/copy styling cues from the seth pistol to put onto these




    and i have no idea where they're going with this monstrosity....

    Semper in Pulveris .... Only the depth varies
