22/23 gear rumors

I like the look of the XT. Looks like a refined MTN Lab. For some reason I get the impression that they are narrow around ancle / lower calf? If so, they could be great for me.

Definitely checking these out as I've been on original MTN Labs with a aftermarket liner since they came out. Picked up a pair of ZeroG Scouts last year, but not loving them so far.
On the other hand, I really liked the buckle arrangement on the Labs, so a improved fit there could be the ticket as well

These look low volume in the toebox.

Ah, the old "make it lighter by making it smaller" trick...

[gaijin]

Or, they could have just started from scratch and came up with something that looks like a prius. I had a pair of Scarpa something-or-other... orange... touring boot from 22 years ago that fit amazing but were too soft and hurt to ski in.

Who knows. It's a pretty bold move to start a new ski boot line. They understand the risk. Hopefully Bode assessed it.

Maybe it's rad. I mean, I hope so.

Maybe it’s the touring fulltilt we have been waiting for.

I flexed the red Armada Locator in store the other day, pretty stiff.

I love freepiste!

Finally, I have a named category for my passion. Praise be! Where is the Mecca of Freepiste so I can start training?

Would like to hear more about the Armada Locator. Anyone got specs yet, hopefully it's not just a shitty rebadged backland?

Light ski with longish radius, looking good! 🙂

I want to be named as the inventor of the this term! Like all allmountain skis and all freeride skis in the sub 100 class are now officially tgr approved freepiste skis!!!

As someone who skis 150+ days a year in plug boots, I’m very interested. The freedom however had a horrible fit, tight in the forefoot and loose as hell in the heel ankle, so my interest is somewhat muted.

A friend once told me "Friends who count, don't". Always thought he was talking about drinking. Epic.

Found this on NS: https://www.newschoolers.com/ski-gea...35/Locator-112

Specs:

Sizes: 166, 173, 180, 187
Dimensions: 136 - 112 - 128 @ 180
Radius: 24 @ 180
Weight: 1500g @ 180


Someone else would have to compare it to the Backland.

It’s easy. I ski everyday the lifts spin and some days after. Never have actually counted but since I know the lifts spin that many days I assume I get 150+

Locator112: 24m radius, low camber, 1500g?? Hoochie mama.

New DPS lotus next Monday… sounds like it will ship this year.

i think I read “Lotus 118” elsewhere.

Yeah, that looks pretty nice. The graphic are slightly nauseating for some reason, but I'm sure others won't care, and I don't really either. Atomic light construction, yes please!

[mntlion]

anything new in full rockered ski world?

I love my 4frnt hojis, and black crow damian, looking for more like that (light full rocker, 20+ M turn shape, 95-115 mm range, 180+ lenght)

[Benneke10]

All I can see is that we still get the V Werks Katana... would love to see a new full rocker ski though
