Lmao the new salomons look just like good old BBRs but with double the weirdo tips. Apparently they didn't learn anything https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2Kwn4QI953/?igsh=MXRwa2N1Z2RxdG16MA==

The only think similar to the BBR is the tip design. It's pretty damn clear that that ski is nothing like the BBR at all other than one minor aesthetic. Acting like the ski sucks because 2cm of the ski reminds you of a shitty ski from a decade ago is pretty damn silly.

Pointy tips have been a design point for Salomon many times in their history, and honestly, I don't mind it. It's not the best looking, but at least they're trying something different.
 
Anyone had a good look at the new bent 110 graphic? Peeped them on @chrisbentchetler and [tag=203181]@dennisranalter[/tag]'s feet.

There were an insane amount of snapped dispatches. Never seen so many snapped skis in my life under regular skiiers. 99 percent sure thats why its gone. Everyone I knew that used them loved them but it was crazy how many ive seen folded in half.

Got to check out a bunch of the new atomic skis recently and they are quite nice. New 120 and maverick 115 are both skis im itching to try. New 120 is surprisingly stiff and thick underfoot with a shape that looks better for soft snow, the maverick seems like its gonna rip. Should be trying them within the next couple months hopefully...

New construction and shape on the 120????

Is the maverick going to be a Big line freeride stick?

Dude chill, I just said they look like BBRs. It is kinda weird choice for a look because it was not the highest moment for Salomon and not like anything any mainstream brand has really done since that. I have always liked the brand and their skis and I will most likely buy these when they finally become available

the new Corvus (pink one 2nd from the right) looks absolutely awesome, can't wait to try it in a couple weeks.

I didnt mean to come off as aggressive in that. So thats my bad if i did. More just ranting about the amount of people in this thread completely writing off a ski because it shares one nonfunctional design aspect with an old shitty ski that came out 13 years ago and 99% of people in this thread didn't even ride.

Seems silly to me

just saw the K2 Crescendo in person and damn does it look nice

This is a terrible name for a ski. Much with seemingly everything these days, it appears they have run out of ideas.
 
I have a pair to sell unmounted if you are interested.

super fun pow ski one of my favs for sure!

They look dope despite the name tho. I'd love to get on a pair, maybe I'll drive down to Washington.

Love the graphic! I shot him a dm and he said they’re the new arv112’s ?

Yep it’s the new arv 112 JJ. No smeartech and features wedge wall and the same construction goes for the 106 as well

Dang that will be a fun resort pow / soft snow ski!

Pushing pretty close to the 116 JJ tho no? Wonder if there will be changes for that?

Also interesting that it won't have the smear tech since the ARV 106 does have it now.

The arv 116 jj goes away and the only 116 that’s left is the WW and UL jj zero but other then that the new 112 replaces the current 116 JJ in both the men’s and women’s arv lineup.

Both the 106 and 112 don’t have smear tech next year and the only skis that do will again just be the WW/121 and 116 UL zero

Any info on a shorter Whitewalker 116 coming? My short ass would love to ski it.

nope. Whitewalker sizes remain the same. They have a sick black topsheet next year tho. All the Zero series skis are kind of ugly in my opinion; the big zero on them is a bit obnoxious, but the ARVs and Kimbo pro model look fire
 
Also Kuura Koivisto was rocking the new Bdogs in the SLVSH cup. Tryna find a nice photo lol

*Edit: They have two different bases very interesting hopefully I can see the top sheet!

Yep a 175cm is getting released next year in the 116 WW which Im so glad they’re doing.
 
I’m kinda amped up on the big brands and their offerings. I do agree that the BBR tip / tail is an iffy or risky move on Salomon’s part but I’m into it. K2 and Volkl have been holding it down for a while, good to see Fischer, Elan, and Solomon putting some effort back into our side of the industry.

You all need to stop calling it a BBR tip haha. yeah it's got kind of a pointy tip shape but this ski is absolutely nothing like the BBR was.

Fischer has 3 nightstick widths for next year. 90, 97, and 104. They all come with "AI generated art" so every single ski is different, not that amazing but kinda cool.
