Yep the skis are from the Atomic Custom Studio, where you pick the shape (model) of ski you want, choose anywhere from completely doing your own graphic from scratch down to basic simple color mods on an existing graphic, uploading hi-res photos, and personalizing text (if you want). As of right now, it's only available in Euroland but it's a pretty cool start I think.
 
Looks like Giray co-started a new company to replace Trekkers called Daymakers.

Damn you, teasing us all.
 
Oooof. I dunno about that boot, gonna have to hear some pretty good things to change my mind from lusting after Backlands....

Also, saw that Arc is doing an electric airbag a la BD Jetforce. Personally I think that style is the future so it's good to see competition there.

Sorry, dub post, but HOLY COW!!!! that's the sickest thing I've ever seen, I only ask two things: Make the Bentchetlers available on it, and make it available in the US. I would seriously buy current year skis at full price for the first time in my life with that option....

Stoked We're in the thread!! DAYMAKERS is Giray and I's company. We are busting our ass to get them here early 2016. I just got back from visiting our factory in China and was BLOWN away with how nice of a facility we are in and the level of professionalism. (PS we tried to make them here and American sheet metal factories are not nearly as nice and they were not willing to take on a project that isn't a giant military defense contract).

We have been refining our production design and have gotten the weight significantly less than those prototypes shown. We have stickers and T shirts that should be available in a day or two to help fund development and will be launching presales for the adapters soon. We were gonna kickstart it, but based on how killer our factory is and how positive the response has been from you guys we are gonna forgo that so we can bring them straight to you guys sooner and for less money! Pricing will be finalized soon, but expect a good bit under 300.

Thanks again for the post!!

Arcteyrx mountaineering boot. OneNerdyKid, any inop

Damn. Lateral flex in a light touring boot?

Maybe this is the future. Who knows how much room there is in the $1000 carbon light touring/climbing boot category though. This stuff appeals to a very small fraction of people, most of whom are trying to find it on proform.

I mean, it's all trickle down... if Arcteryx builds a brand and reputation, then when the market's grown to the point where the backcountry is getting skied out, then they'll have a good part of that market and good all-around brand rec.

I would be so happy if I could buy tech soles for my 15/16 xt130s next year!

From what I understand you won't be able to unfortunatly. Lange are going the k2 route of putting the inserts in the non replabale section. Next seasons boots use the same mold as this season just with the inserts added.

I saw the arcteryx boots being tested the other day. Must say they looked really ugly but surprisingly they were testing them with beasts. So if that is anything to go buy maybe you can ski a bit in them. Still it won't be a newschoolers product from what I have seen.

Yea I got so excited to see that I didnt take enough time to look closely at the pic. Looks like a package should get sent off to CAST to have some work done and order up a set of kingpins.

All those Newschoolers looking to get into feisty mixed climbing on the way up to their ski objectives?

I wonder if anyone has ever accidentally hooked a crampon into a tall tee that they were wearing.

Return of the blog + hrzn tech = $$$$$$

For real tho, I would buy the shit out that ski.
Click to expand...

Exactly. Ever since it left I've wanted a 192cm blog with hrzn tech. It could be the ski to finally beat out my shredditor 112's

Apparently Nordica is expanding the soul rider line by making a soul rider 87

I've been wondering what else Nordica is doing next season. I posted in another thread, a Soul Rider 107 would be pretty sick too

Top skis definitely say QST behind the binding, Am willing to bet those white boots are just the new MTN Explore graphic, Volkl V-werks skis are still the weirdest thing I've ever strapped to my feet

What about those rossis that p white and c lo are always on
Click to expand...

I'm guessing they'll finally be ready for production. Took Rossignol a full three years to develop them from when they discontinued the Sickle

That new blue ski is a beast. Pretty much a rocker 122 but as light as the mnt lab. Amazing looking ski. And those are not the new explore.

You guys will like a new ski from k2 too, designed by pep. Whole new take a pow ski design which I think you will be stoked on.
