Official 2016-2017 Gear Rumor Thread

[Kretzschmar]

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.

Jib oriented I presume?

 

[cozyco]

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.

every year it seems that we see less and less new gear popping up early even though we now live in a time where instagram dominates. think back just a few years back where this thread was be full of juicy new skis and gear by this. seems only the same brands are letting it out early now i.e Salomon, ON3P and Atomic

I think more companies are learning how to keep things secret and hyped up. Generates more PR, better for them.

It's funny I actually think it's how acceasable things like Instagram are that mean you see less. That may sound weird but there are a ton of guys out there on new stuff but because there are now so many images out there, a lot get missed. For example I posted up an image of an all new boot I'm wearing but clearly no one realized. So yeah the stuff is out there it's just getting so diluted now a lot gets missed.

they look like they aren't twins though...? more of a flat tail design for big mountain stuff?

Ain't nothing that hasn't been done before...

 

[Session]

Ain't nothing that hasn't been done before...

Trying to decide if it is a ripoff of the Automatic or the BG.

By who? I certainly admitting may be wrong but I can't really think of a ski at least in the last 12 years really like it? But I fully claim there may be somthing and I'm interested to know so pm me

 

[-WZ-]

AR8s come out next year!

 

[Surfboard]

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

So the El Paco? That's such a good ski...

Tec/Blizz has a big change to their line

White top sheets equal prototypes, the design has evolved some and after talking to cobra it is differnt from on3p res

Are we talking the big mountain (Cochise, Bodacious, Spur), the more freestyle-oriented (Peacemaker, Gunsmoke), or touring (ZeroG series) for Blizzard? Any new boots for Tecnica?

I'm confused. These seem to be what he's riding right now, unless this was a while ago...

Also, I'm just gonna drop a bunch of stuff here that people have probably seen.

And maybe topsheets far right?

New ON3P, the Magnum I believe? There's a bit more info and speculation on the 15/16 on3p thread.

^^fucking bossman right there...

That said... what do we think? they look sorta skinny for 100mm.. but the video is lacking in detail, HighDef...

def salomons and not the NFX, as those are all blue (thanks to bobby brown showing it off). Maybe a new park twin?

 

[skidemon22]

shot from the salomon free ski episode... new Rocker2 122?

I suppose it could be the TNT. But it looks like the tips are tapered like the Rocker2

 

[Ghini]

I've seen all the Armada gear today..

The Magic J has a lion on the topsheet!

Yeah, but I would doubt that their pros and even amateurs would be riding on the tnt...

Not very impressed at first glance by those boots

K2 - New Pow ski, 106 underfoot, twin, looks like the Pinnacle/New Bacon Tip/Tail Shape

Dynafit TLT7 = Moist

Arva Airbag packs

New Arva Beacon

New Bentchetler graphics

Tons of other new stuff that will all be on Blister in the AM

 

[MartianMan]

Damn, 106 is becoming a popular waist width.

The BD graphics are rough, not a huge fan of white skis, and the color blocking makes it much worse. On the other hand, even though they do the same kind of graphics every year, the Black Crows look fantastic. I'd love to see some actual specs though.

Eric Pollard at it again making a swallow tail this time. He calls it the Pescado (which I think is Spanish for fighting chicken)
