2024 Gear, What's New and Hot!

Blister vid helped me "see" it.



I just met a guy here yesterday just like this. Die hards, both of you!

Just looked at it - I guess it’s a ”pivot”. The best part about that video was the new on the better front seal over the toes - if that goes in the RS, might be reason to get yet another backup, duck tape isnt cheap any more.

but yes, I just am old enough to know what I like and less tolerance for stuff I don’t. Time is short.

The BOA seems to do what it's supposed to do. Rustlers are at the top of my demo list at WWSRA next month.

Seems like this is a boot release year, compared to last year with more new ski offerings.

Head and Salomon have clearly decided to put the focus, at least in terms of graphics, on the skier not the ski. As in "Wow, that guy skis really well for someone on rentals!"

I've heard similar comments about me and my i-Titans (which I kinda love, by the way, in spite of the graphics) and the new lineups are even duller looking.

what 65-75mm underfoot 19.5 to 22.0mm skis do we have now in aprox 185 lengths for 2024?

Anyone ever spray painted their skis because they hated the graphics? Curious if it was successful and didn't just flake off after a few flexes.

Asking for a friend...

Anybody skied the Kastle ZX line? Thoughts? I'm intrigued by the new ZX 92...

The only ZX92's at this point are the shorter length, 172cm IIRC. Light, lively and very jibby.

I would just get a vinyl wrap for them.

@Bruno Schull - if the 92s are anything like the rest of the ZX line, they’ll be $$$

Inbound ZX 100s here to replace the Ripstick 96 / 106 and to go with its bigger bro the ZX 108.

Yes. It's all in the prep.

If you can get automotive bumper paint, it's miles better for UV resistance and flex, but if you prep properly and don't overspray, you can get good results with hardware store rattlecans*.

*excepting some whites and clears that yellow fast.

That's good to hear. I may not actually do it but i'm oh so tempted to. Added bonus of covering up the skis is hiding the brand, significantly less concern of theft when the giant STOCKLI isn't front and center on the tips.
