Interesting. What does this mean for the Bodacious then?

Looks boney in the background

Do they replace the Gunsmoke or Bodacious, or are they an addition to the lineup?

Looks to be really close to the current Gunsmoke in dimensions. Add a few mm to the waist to get it in the "115+ Freeride" test category and flatten the tail and you can kill the Bodacious.

Was told they are a special athlete's edition Bodacious from the original mold. Two sheets of Titanal, feels a little softer than the OG version, has more tail rocker but not a true twin tip.

There will be quite a few totally new skis, an old one returns, and some fun tweaks to some old standbys. I think mags of all shapes and sizes will be stoked on new lineup. Personally I haven't been this fired up on skis since the first year we launched the "bull" series. More info to come in the next month or so.

Happy Holidays

Do I need to buy an extra pair of 187 Bonafides or 193 Gunsmokes? Or are the replacements just as awesome as the current models?

I am extremely stoked to hear this news. I have begun an unhealthy hoarding behavior regarding any O.G. 186 Bodacious I can get my hands on. I like the 14/15 version the best, with the light green top sheet and slight camber. That ski has yet to do me wrong. If I end up on my ass or face while riding those, well I know I fucked up big time.

When will we have the deets on the new lineup? Also, can the blem sales come back? Our quiver is now %80 Blizzard and growing.

[skibass]

I heard from a fairly reputable source that there is a new 106 width in the works. He didn't give me a name but categorized it as a wider Bonafide with more side/back country appeal- a little more tip and tail splay.

[Lord Thomas]

Any more rumors? Pissing my pants with anticipation. Need to firm up my list for the NW demo next month.

Someone on reddit posted this 3 hours ago:



I heard the Cochise is discontinued, this appears to support that claim.

[wasatchback]

Not discontinued

[nyskirat]

Looks like a Vwerks-ish design with that raised area

[smooth operator]

So is the Gunsmoke replaced by this rustler 114, or will we see the Gunsmoke in the 17/18 lineup?

[wasatchback]

Rustler 10 replaces Peacemaker
Rustler 11 replaces Gunsmoke

New Bonafide
New Brahma
New Brahma CA (bushwacker)
New Spur
New Sheeva 11
New Sheeva 10
New Black Pearl 98
New Black Pearl 88

[wasatchback]

Oh and the OG Bodacious comes back... very first construction 186/196 limited run

[JaytaeMoney]

Cochise unchanged?

[Lindahl]

Sick!

[auvgeek]

Is that fat touring ski available next season?

there might be a new 116-114 waste in a light construction. We'll see. Just started testing new protos last month.

[wasatchback]

Cochise unchanged?

Yup

Just new graphic

[skibrd]

Rustler 10 replaces Peacemaker
Rustler 11 replaces Gunsmoke

New Bonafide
New Brahma
New Brahma CA (bushwacker)
New Spur
New Sheeva 11
New Sheeva 10
New Black Pearl 98
New Black Pearl 88

Any length indications for next season? Will the new Bonafides longest ski still be a 187 and the Rustler 11 be 193?
