"They" wouldn't actually because "they" are already selling out the last few skis "they" have on closeout. The truth is that it isn't Line at all that this non-pic-posting edict is protecting, it's their dealers.
I work for one of those dealers and therefore it would be fairly counterintuitive for me to outcompet myself by overly promoting a product I don't have at the expense of the product I do.
While yes I'm stoked on next years stuff, CUZ IT'S SICK, the point is that since line shipped late this season theres a lot of their stuff still in stores right now so instead of early releases they're stalling to help us all sell their stuff. And here I almost ruined it out of shear excitement over HOW SICK NEXT YEARS STUFF LOOKS THIS IS THE BIGGEST TEASER THREAD EVER HAHAHAHA!!!!!
