Cochise was updated this season. Much improved, I really dig mine.

Scarpa 2022 Workbook - F1 XT looks like a good option for those that dont trust BOA, or want to get away from the big velcro strap/buckle...

Also some photos/specs on the new alpine boots

the 4 XT looks interesting especially at 1500g

Man, I feel this is the year of the ugly ski

Funny. I hate skis with tapered tips, so a graphic that emphasizes that feature is like the graphic/shape equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to me. Of course, to each their own. Just funny how polarizing gfx can be.

Considering the shape is pretty similar to my beloved Lhasa’s, it has me a little excited. If they ski similarly I’d be stoked. This is more of how a ski actually skis than looks for me. On paper they seem similar, just skinnier. TETO..
None of you pow skis have tapered tips? Hell the only ski I own that doesn’t have a tapered tip is my Monster 82’s.

Curious to learn more about this ski - apparently Aymar Navarro has gotten his own version of the Backland 117. I wonder if it has a different construction or not - the standard version seems a bit undergunned for FTW, even if he is a smaller if sturdy guy on a giant ski.

That Tour Scout boot is sexy. Looks like they are trying to fix the shitty power strap, I love the cam buckle but the quick release looks fiddly. Can we assume the Tour Pro will be updated similarly?

It’s literally just the buckle off the Mach 1 boots. Ordered a couple and threaded them on my ZGTP straps. Job done.

Other than that the boots look unchanged….

Shank is on Mach 1 concept boots.

Yes it does!

I can't read German... does it say anywhere what the last width is?

Oh yeah (as declarative as my post was) taper's all good in pow skis for me. The old 138 and Renegade are the only two pow skis I've loved over the past decade. It's daily driver skis (roughly a 112 waist and below in my eyes) where I can't stand big tapered tips.

And really, those Armada's could be a sick ski. It's just the graphic highlighting the taper that makes the whole ski look a little silly to me. Like a not subtle reminder that the only "real" part of the ski is before the graphic ends. The rest is useless (probably floppy) tips. But, of course, that's just me, and clearly, I have unresolved issues with my few runs on the 112RP and sound like an old man yelling at clouds

interesting, of note:

New 106 ski - strangely offered in 181 and 189, and somewhat suprisingly with longer radii than Blanks... Go figure eh.

I see that the double-sidewall tech is now on the new QST106, too. Would love to know if the tail rocker profile was tweaked at all. I always felt that it's off-trail performance would improve is it had a touch more rocker. Might be worth another look.

Also, for all those people who were worried about the STH2 bindings going away...the 16 remains, but the 13 appears to be gone. I suppose my hoarding wasn't in vain after all.

Not seeing much difference between F1-XT and F1-GT?

[I've seen black diamonds!]

Different plastic.

[Lord Thomas]

Shank is on Mach 1 concept boots.

They are going to offer a Mach 1 Concept with a walk mode??? Any idea how that would be different than a Cochise 130?

[J. Barron DeJong]

Different plastic.

GT’s using the red kind?

I’m making confusion. Not the shank of the walk mode. Ignore me. I’m an idiot.

[obi wan kenobi]

Yes it does!

I can't read German... does it say anywhere what the last width is?

No, it does not. However it states the suggested retail price: 750 Euro (same price as the XT)

Still, with the new strive also available in 16, the STH appears to be doomed. Look Pivots will than the last living legend bindings.

Why a Strive if Wardens still around?

[Eluder]

Why a Strive if Wardens still around?

I thought it replaced the warden, no?

[jacob_dbu]

Why a Strive if Wardens still around?

Because Strives are GW only so cheaper to make and probably better release properties?

[optics]

Wtf is a strive and why do we need it?

[NorCalNomad]

Yes it does!

They all should be the same last as the F1LT @100mm since they are all the same clog. GT most likely doesn't have the carbon in the plastic.

[dub_xion]

The BOA on my F1's has stood up to a heck of a lot of abuse. But I like the look of the lower buckle placement on those.

Good thing I haven’t committed to getting any LS Skorpiuseses yet. Think if those FT XTs turn out to be reliable and decent flex, that’ll finally be the TLT6 replacement.
