Girardelli could’ve wooped your ass with his feet stuffed into a couple of stale baguettes.
+2 on first-gen gotamas, before they took the metal out. Especially when you look at what else was available at the time (like pocket rockets), those were revolutionary. And threw a horrific rooster tail to blind anyone behind you.
Someone raid the Stockli factory for old DP and SS Pro molds and we’re well on our way.

Hang around a resort on a midweek groomer day and you'll always see a few old guys skiing K2 Recons--"extinct" skis that refuse to die.

Caber ski boots were bought out by Rossignol and became their in house brand in the late 80's. I raced in Caber Azzuro's in the mid 80's which became the Rossi R900's?

Look keeps making metal pivots and every year people blow loads over new colors, sorry...colorways, and which would look best on which skis. Solly discontinues metal drivers and people say no one is blowing up the current 16 dins so who really needed them at all. Yeah, I like metal Sollies. Probably don’t need them but they’ve never given me trouble.
On the topic of extinct, when did the word color change to colorway? Right up there with abundance of caution on the stuff that bothers me and maybe shouldn’t scale.

I get it. Five to ten years ago companies introduced lines in new colors. Now companies introduce new colorways often with a picture of solid single color pieces.

Three new “colorways”. One being a solid single color and one being raw which would be no color at all in theory.
Because I was looking at helmets tonight.

Select colorways offered without MIPS® system
If your retro-grouch company is hiring, let me know where to forward my resume or are we all calling them cv’s these days?

Yeah, the marketing departments definitely like to make it sound fancy when they're selling the exact same thing with a dab of fresh paint on it.
The retro grouch company will do marketing the old fashioned way: by paying younger people to jump off cliffs on skis. And boobs, probably.
