The new hype in the ski industry seems to release some "limited-high-performance-full-black-over-priced skis". Preferable black, expensive, "high secret specs", and some rumours spread by team riders to tease the customers.

Rossi Black Ops, Head KORE what else to expect from the other bigger players?

Maybe an Atomic UnderCOV3R, Völkl xVendetta, Nordica BlvckTheRippah (sick!11!) Dont forget to invest lots of money in marketing the limited sick sticks.

One thing that is cool to see is these skis end up going into small local shops that can stoke people out on them and help generate more business.

This. Armada and Line are doing more of this.

So true! I'm so stoked on companies doing this and usually they're badass gear too ex: the zero collection.

They generally are not any more expensive.

New MTN Lab? Or new Salomon boot.

Looks like it has a buckle like Dalbello does across the ankle.
 
i've heard dynafit are discontinuing the beast 16. apparently the beast toe "was a solution to a problem that never really existed and is prone to ice build up"

apparently it sell really well here in the UK and north america but that only makes up like something like 5% of its market when compared to the super weight focused euro tec guys.

they might still be around next season as they're selling of dead stock but there no longer producing them. just too much over lap with the 14

spun a lap with a good friend who is a 4FRNT in Park City and he shared some pretty exciting shit in terms of Collaborations for 4FRNT next year. Should be fucking awesome honestly.

The binding itself was released in Euroland last season, but it was brakeless. For Fall 2017 it will enter North America with a brake (old bindings can be updated with the new brake). Brakes are available up to 110mm.

FYI - this is the boot Durtschi wore when he sent Pyramid Gap the other day (but he was in Tracker bindings).

Prepare to have your minds blown at SIA.

That's all for now :)

Care to explain what is so amazing about a four buckle MTN Lab?

If you'll let me avoid mentioning any specifics for the time being, I can at least say that our new boot beats the MTN Lab, FreeTour, and Guide Pro in all measurable & testable aspects.

I'm just joking, I was just trying to imply the photo of the boot looks exactly like a mtn lab with an extra buckle.

I haven't skied it yet, but it looks cool in person.

I was under the impression it was an overlap design through and through, not like the MTN Lab's overlap top and weird toe cover.

This has been a pretty common modification in the current boot
 
Not 100% on this but pretty Tom is in some new North Face Pants and Hornbeck in new Armada Pants and Hoodie. 853149.jpeg
 
In the photo gallery of that Dynafit write up I spotted these new 4frnts. Looks like the three KYE models::

The stuff hornbeck has isn't new. The pants are the armada zero bib and the hoodie is the new haskill baselayer.

Haha well at least half right, I did have a feeling I had already seen those pants I totally forgot about Armadas limited Zero series stuff.

Haha yeah totally. Those pants are so bitchin I've got them and they're some of the best bibs ive had. The haskill base layer is so great as well.
 
I'm sure it was the ski that Jon had last week for his heliskiing trip. His vlog has daily posts from that trip and if it is the new Kore it doesn't look like anything radically different from anything else out there but maybe a step in the right direction for Head (?) who am I to say.
 
Best I can tell is more free ride with only a small amount of tail lip. I'll try and upload som pics that I have found.
