Calling the people who have tested skis for the up and coming season.

Whats good and what's not? Forget about graphics. Any suprises? what are the all new skis to look out for? Who's wimped out and only changed their graphics?

Honest opinions, no company plugs please! :-)

 
Nordica Supercharger Ignition, real real surprise package, very light, very poppy nice and fat, and a nice shape can really rip up piste.
 
To add, I tried some Movement sparks (82mm waist) out and was not impressed. Too soft and flappy, seemed to catch the tip and tail edge a lot, especially landing switch or off balance.

Also Movement Gladiators (92mm), which were fine in deep powder, just the right level of stiffness but rubbish on groomed piste and felt poorly made all round. Very light though.

Stick to the Joysticks.
 
06/07 guns are sick, they can handel anything, especially since they made them wider all around, i would just like something a little stiffer, but thats just me
 
^^^ and yet you have no idea if they changed the graff form last year, heres some info, they change the gaff every year

i tryed most of the line stuff and the anthems and the bacons were amazing, like may have fucked up last year but there making up ground this year
 
^ well i havnt riden this seasons Lines, or infact any Line skis (except next years invaders) because they tend to be shit
 
chronic blends are really cool. moderately stiff and pretty dope all around ski. umm... lib techs are pretty sick too. kinda goofy at first, but really cool feel.
 
I rode quite a few in MN with no jumps. The Nordica was the only ski I didn't like. My favorites were: Salomon Foil, Volkl Karma and K2 PE. Volkl is the best at high speeds, K2 is close. The Foil is just really fun overall. New Scratch almost made my list, but was a hair soft feeling. Volkl Dogen was also soft feeling.

I also really like the Head Monster 82 and Elan Magfire 12 for all mtn cruising.

I ski fast and carve hard as a former racer and there wasn't time for the park (18 skis skied in one day).
