    I have never had a problem with the Patagonia h2no stuff.

    And I guess I will never get my 188 Ruby with tip rocker now. Should have pulled that trigger back in 07, oh well. The jag shark looks dope though.

    From my understanding, Patagonia's only doing Goretex in their top end stuff, and sticking with their in house fabrics for the lower end. No idea what their longterm plan is.

    Just an FYI, the reason they are switching is since Gore has made an effort to be more "green". They stopped using Gore simply because of their environmental policies. So now that Gore has new "green" materials, Patagonia is back on board. Should see Gore pieces all the way down into the $300ish range. Then from there down they will use H2NO since they still have a bunch of it. Not sure if after a few years they will even bother making their own fabrics for any pieces. The pieces I have seen for next season look great. And before anyone asks, "no" I do not have any affiliation with Patagonia, but I have always been a fan due to my experiences with their product.

    FYi Design, the same people that design the Burton AK line, are designing the new Patagonia stuff.

    Anyone seen the early rise on the new Mantra? Is it "marketing rocker" or legit early rise?

    ^^^^Just what I was thinking. End the discussion of "how wide is too wide" once and for all.

    ^^^^those look like this years skis...

    Why do you need two dust pans hanging on the wall but keep your jig saw on the ground next your ether and PBR?
    a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    This years topsheets. For reference the ski on the right is a 191 Caylor. The one on the left is something different altogether.

    Wow that thing makes the Caylor look skinny! I hope there's a 180-something version of it offered too.

    ^^^ Did you ski the AK JJs (195s)? Or just the 11/12 185s? If they are the 185s, I dont believe they changed anything from this year other than graphics.

    Flexed some proto 196cm (?) Pillowfights today ever so briefly. Felt soft and even and seemed like they would work well in pow.
    Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

    Sage was rocking a Atomic proto today in the Bird comp maybe its time to start the 12/13 rumors. The ski s a cross between a bentchetler and atlas so I have heard.
    If ski companies didn't make new skis every year I wouldn't have to get new skis every year.

    Well, closing out this year... the remaining Praxis Concepts are all new two camber zone molding. More subtle than the protos in the thread. But it is there. Quietly slipped into production. Have 2 days on a pair - carvier & slarvier. They are $$...

    Sad that Moment is letting the Ruby go. Such a fun ski. But I think the Jag Shark will do a formidable job its spot. Its dims sound awesome.

    187cm becomes 188cm. A good call I think. I wish they'd gone to 189cm as it goes ! Other than that and a few graphics / being called BMX they are the same.
