Black ops 110 prototypes. Hopefully, they’re heavy and have an extra-stupid name. I’m thinking Rossignol Black-Ops Shreddyboi.

Not really a rumor already confirmed but smith is doing Squad XL mag next year. Fucking hyped on that. Love my squad XLs and most of my lenses are in need of being replaced.

That’s good news

4D Mag XL would also be legendary. I have the 4Ds but they are just a tad small on my face could use a bulkier size

What’s the hype on the 4Ds? I’ve seen tons of ads for them but never looked into them much cause I’m so happy with the Squad XLs.
 
One of my friends is a freelance graphic designer who has done some work for Rossignol in the past, he just sent me this screenshot of an email he got from a creative director at Rossignol.

Sounds like it could be a meme ski. Like literally memes on it. Could be great. Big Chungus is totally a ski I would buy.

Got gifted a pair- they have really good all around vision but particularly downward due to the lens shape. Gives exceptional vision of what’s down in front of you even when looking straight ahead

Rossignol's marketing is so damn stupid I've honestly no idea if this is real or not.

Jerry’s. I feel bad for my shop homies trying to sell Rossi this year. They’re good skis with incomprehensibly stupid names.

And because they have to explain why the "BLACKOPS Sender Ti" is supposedly a 106 and available in longer lengths than the "BLACKOPS Sender," when they're actually the same exact shape and length.

Its REALLY dumb names.. and to signify they made a more "green" and enviromental friendly topsheet which is good, they made it so ugly it literally looks like old trash pressed into a topsheet.

Looking forward to the shreddybois 110, or I would much prefer YEET CANNON 110

They have a ski named the gamer and holy shred with ECO topsheets. I wouldnt put it past them :p

In the media here there has been lots of stuff and anything with black has been redacted, like older (not racist) tv shows, product names, product pictures etc.
 
Why not just change it to:

The Rossignol Covert Ops

That email looks fake tbh... Rossi is a French brand and the reason their names are absolutely retarded is because French people are coming up with English names that they think sound good to non-native English speakers. I literally suffer through meetings like this every year.

Then you feel my pain doing technical work for a Danish company in the US.

I think pretty much all countries in europe are worse at English then the Danish :p

And they are way easier to talk with when they are speaking English then Danish, Danish is beein drunk with a hot potato in your mouth/throat region.

Also 99% if them are truely horrible skiers, and they cannot figure out howto drive up even tiny hills in winter when they are here.

They are very good at food, business and beer though.

If we're stereotyping the Danish i need to add in that when i went there as a teenager i saw women/one woman in particular who made me entirely reconsider what i thought a 1-10 scale of beauty looked like. just unbelievably attractive

also this thread is fucking killing me. my vote is for Shreddy Boi or Fortnite 42069

Scandinavian women......
 
Lolz on the names.

I really wish/hope Atomic will come out with a Benchetler 110. The Blog and Backland 109 were both awesome skis, but Atomic's lighter constructions have come so far since then. I can imagine a 1600g BC110 that would just be the ultimate daily backcountry driver.

The blog is my favorite ski ever made. I wish they would remake them.

if that mail is legit, might wanna remove some mails so your friend doesnt get shit

don't worry its fake, just was making myself laugh with the image of a conversation like that happening.
 
Don’t kill me , but I love the new top sheets. They look so clean, I don’t want a fuckin dragon on my skis. Simple is better in my opinion.

The new Rossi topsheets? I suppose anything is an improvement from this season's dog turd aesthetic.

That will really appeal to the younger generation

That'd be more the 24-30 age range that grew up playing MW2 lol i definitely had one of my PSN accounts with a name like that ?

The Blog was pretty sick. I got my first face shots on a pair of Blogs.

Which makes me miss my business trips that have all been cancelled due to COVID.

would be cool if they did that, with the DIN windows and important shit masked off, so you could just hit em with some rattlecans and have custom pivots.

The "raw" is an option this year though, isn't it?

Yeah I was just gonna say this, these have been available to buy all year long and they were announced last year ? this ain’t a rumor you boys gettin bad info
 
re Rossi ski names, what gets me the most is the name differences between the men's and women's lines. Rossi's French marketing team is straight middle ages in their seeming appraisal of how/why women ski. Worked at a shop that carries Rossi last year and was genuinely embarrassed telling female clients what the name of the ski was, would try to cover it with my thumb when showing them the ski. For example, the men's staples are the Sender 106 and the Soul 7, while the women's are the Temptation 88 and the Sassy 7. Are you kidding me??? Literally sounds like an SNL bit

Other brands do the same thing, albeit usually not as bad. For example, my Smith Maze helmet (the best out there btw, so lightweight and low profile) is EXACTLY the same as my girlfriend's, yet hers is called the "Allure." Wtf? Do ski brands think women ski in order to "tempt" and "allure" men, and to act "sassy"?
 
Got an email a couple days ago about the new axial4/ spx2 with some concept art. Probably shouldn't post this here but whatever.

The sassy 7 lol, somebody has gotta talk to the rossi reps and set them straight

The worst part is that every rep knows this. The marketing overlords just cannot be stopped
