Can you guys make a female ski in man sizes? That's what I really want. Something with rainbows and snowflakes please - a snowbow would be preferrable.

Plum will have a new ski brake.... facing the correct way and on the heel piece

Yes!!!

Will that heel piece survive skiing down?

[SupreChicken]

for many women, if not most, graphics and marketing do matter. There are a shit ton of women out there that don't want a manly graphic no matter how many men tell them to just ski on a man's ski. Especially at the retail sales level.

I'd say that's true of most men, also. Even if we are less likely to admit it in a retail environment. I doubt that any of the dudes here give zero fucks. Even the dude who cares the least gives at least 1 fuck.

I, personally, give more than 1 about the topsheet. Admittedly. That's one of the reasons I love the praxis custom presale. I bet a lot of mags feel that way. The "worst topsheet ever" is also completely awesome. Which is why it sells out faster than the others. Also, because On3P doesn't make that many.

[abraham]

I'll admit that I care about topsheets, not a lot but enough. I bought my gpos with the smallest praxis logo possible. I like using my superbros on days the topsheet gets covered. Generally prefer less branding on my shit.

the ski or the boot?

ski info http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...rd-up-to/page8

boot: dont think much has changed

[SupreChicken]

Sorry, boot. Hoping for better than Puke orange in the cochise 130

[roca1]

This thread is moving pretty quickly so sorry if this has come up before. But very interested on any beta around a combo avilung / balloon backpack?

It seems so logical to me:
1. Avilung if you go in a tree well or huge bathtub of unconsolidated snow
2. Pull the rip cord if you are in a big slide

Why not combine the two?

there wil be one combo system at ISPO !!

Really? I'm surprised..

[wasatchback]

Sorry, boot. Hoping for better than Puke orange in the cochise 130

Updated to baby shit orange for next year.

[CaliBrit]

Updated to baby shit orange for next year.

Funny, I don't think the orange is too bad. Had both in my hands but went with the 120 due to fit.

[SupreChicken]

<Sigh> Balls. 👇👎😒

[zeroforhire]

Anyone have pics of the new bd clothing lineup?

[PNWbrit]

Sorry, boot. Hoping for better than Puke orange in the cochise 130

Red for the win.

Hope that list isn't by priority...if so bump moment up. Who cares about salomon, rossignol, line, atomic

[YoEddy]

I'm intrigued with the Salomon MTN Lab boot ... progressive alpine-like 120 flex in 1.5kg? Really, or just marketing BS?

[Supermoon]

I'm sure there is time for two people to get to all of those during the show. Even when you factor in 8 hour hangovers

[errrka]

The amount of ignorance about womens skis in this thread is appalling.
And I'm a lady.

I'm also the lady who did a lot of research for the ON3P women's line. Little do you all know it, but some of it came from these forums where you all inputted what your wives like to ski.

So until you grow a vagina you should probably not talk about things that don't affect you.

[JoeStrummer]

The amount of ignorance in this forum is appalling. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . So until you grow a vagina you should probably not talk about things that don't affect you.

Fixed that first part for you. No need to limit yourself there.

Also, men make all the abortion laws. Why wouldnt they have an opinion about lady skis?

[TahoeJ]

A couple of photos of the latest from FlyLow would be nice.

[Timberridge]

Don't knock the ignorant Strummer. For example, much of the American southwest would remain undiscovered today if it were not for Coronado's expeditions to look for cities of gold there in the 1500's.
